Four-Port Broadband Orthomode Transducer Enabling Arbitrary Interelement Spacing

Juan Ramon Mosig, Anja Skrivervik, Emile Jacques de Rijk, Tomislav Debogovic, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Santiago Capdevila Cascante, Esteban Menargues Gomez

This paper reports a novel methodology to design broadband orthomode transducers with two arbitrarily spaced ports carrying orthogonal linear polarizations. The component is based on a combination of two Boifot junctions through a series of power dividers ...

Ultra-Wide Band Diversity Antenna for Omnidirectional Coverage

Anja Skrivervik, Maxime Volery, Tatjana Asenov

In this paper, a 41 x 42.2 mm2 ultra-wide band (UWB) diversity antenna is designed to operate in the frequency band 5.45- 7.45 GHz with the isolation better than 15dB. To achieve omnidirectional coverage pattern diversity is applied. The proposed design is ...

Towards More Accurate Radio Telescope Images

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Radio interferometry usually compensates for high levels of noise in sensor/antenna electronics by throwing data and energy at the problem: observe longer, then store and process it all. We propose instead a method to remove the noise explicitly before ima ...

Carrier Tracking using Extended Kalman Filters for GNSS Synthetic Aperture Processing with a Rotating Antenna

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Miguel Angel Ribot Sanfelix, Joaquin Cabeza de Pablo

A single GNSS antenna moving along a known trajectory can be used to synthesize a virtual array in order to apply spatial diversity techniques, e.g. beamforming. With these techniques, referred as synthetic aperture (SA) techniques, the receiver can mitiga ...
