High-range resolution is inherently provided with Ka-band ultra-wideband (UWB) vehicular radars. The authors have developed a prototype UWB monopulse radar equipped with a two-element receiving antenna array and reported its measurement results. In this paper, a more detailed verification using these measurements is presented. The measurements were analyzed employing matched filtering and eigendecomposition, and then multipath components were extracted to examine the behavior of received UWB monopulse signals. Next, conventional direction finding algorithms based on narrowband assumption were evaluated using the extracted multipath components, resulting in acceptable angle-of-arrival (AOA) from the UWB monopulse signal regardless of wideband signals. Performance degradation due to a number of averaging the received monopulses was also examined to design suitable radar's waveforms.

High Range

A bi-static short-range elastic backscatter micro-lidar, named Colibri, has been developed for quantitative aerosol profiling with high range and temporal resolution within the first hundred meters. The geometric (i.e., overlap) and radiometric (i.e., lidar constant) calibrations were performed along with dark current and background noise characterizations. Results of a measurement campaign have demonstrated the capability of our system to characterize aerosol plumes with high range-resolution (<10 cm) in the short-range close to their emission sources (from 10 m). To this aim, fog-oil aerosol plumes were generated in a tunnel and characterized by using an optical particle counter. A forward inverse method without boundary conditions is presented for inverting short-range lidar profiles when no reference molecular zone is available. Lastly, we report the different retrieved lidar products, namely the distribution of aerosol layers, radiative properties (i.e., backscatter profiles), and the microphysical properties (i.e., number concentration profiles). For the validation of the proposed methodology, the lidar products were compared with measurements from the optical particle counter. Lastly, the impact of calibration errors on the lidar products is discussed through an uncertainty analysis.

Impulse Radio - Ultra Wideband (IR-UWB) is a wireless technology system that offers a high data rate within a short range. Therefore, IR-UWB system is regarded as an excellent physical layer solution to the multi-piconet Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) applications. In spite of all the advantages of IR-UWB, there are several fundamental and practical challenges that need to be carefully addressed. The big and most important one among these challenges is the interference. Two types of Rake receivers are designed and simulated to highly mitigate the MUI these are (PRake receiver) and (SRake receiver).

AbstractA compact ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna is presented in this paper with a partial ground plane on epoxy woven glass material. The study is discussed to comprehend the effects of various design parameters with explicit parametric analyses. The overall antenna dimension is 0.22×0.26×0.016 λ. A prototype is made on epoxide woven glass fabric dielectric material of 1.6 mm thickness. The measured results point out that the reported antenna belongs to a wide bandwidth comprehending from 3 GHz to more than 11 GHz with VSWR<2. It has a peak gain of 5.52 dBi, where 3.98 dBi is the average gain. Nearly omnidirectional radiation patterns are observed within the operating frequency bands. A good term exists between simulation and measurement results, which lead the reported antenna to be an appropriate candidate for UWB applications.
