Modeling, Design and Demonstration for Discrete Lens Antennas with Circular-Polarization in the 60-GHz Band

International audience—This paper presents the modeling, design and demonstration of two circularly-polarized Transmit-Arrays (TA) operating in the 60-GHz band and generating a broadside beam and a 30°-tilted beam respectively. These arrays have a fairly simple structure with only three metal layers and are fabricated with a standard printed-circuit board technology. The simulated results show the performances of the unit-cells as well as the whole arrays, and detail their power budget. The experimental results in V-band are in very good agreement with the simulations and demonstrate very satisfactory characteristics. Power efficiencies up to 53.7% are reached with a 1-dB gain-bandwidth up to 9.1%, and low cross-polarization level

Conception d'Antenne Spirale intégrée sur SOI à 60 GHz

La conception d'une antenne spirale intégrée sur SOI est décrite. L'impact de la structure d'alimentation de l'antenne spirale à double brin sur le coefficient de réflexion et le rapport axial est analysé. Un bon coefficient de réflexion avec une bande passante de 35 GHz à -10 dB et une bonne polarisation circulaire couvrant une intervalle d'angle élévation de 120° indépendamment de l'angle d'azimut sont obtenus. L'efficacité de rayonnement simulée est de 80 % avec un gain simulé de 4.3 dBi

Application of transmitarray antennas for indoor mapping at millimeter-waves

Millimeter-waves are expected to play a key role in next 5G scenario due to the availability of a large clean unlicensed bandwidth at 60 GHz and the possibility to realize packed antenna arrays, with a consequent increase of the communication capacity and the introduction of new functionalities, such as high-definition localization and personal radar for automatic environment mapping. In this paper we propose the adoption of millimeter-wave transmitarrays for personal radar applications and we investigate the impact of the radiation pattern characteristics on the map reconstruction accuracy, by analysing how the number of array elements, of quantization bits and the focal distance affect the environment reconstruction performance

Millimeter-wave backscattering measurements with transmitarrays for personal radar applications

The concept of personal radar has recently emerged as an interesting solution for next 5G applications. In fact the high portability of massive antenna arrays at millimeter-waves enables the integration of a radar system in pocket-size devices (i.e. tablets or smartphones) and enhances the possibility to map the surrounding environment by guaranteeing accurate localization together with high-speed communication capabilities. In this paper we investigate for the first time the capability of such personal radar solution using real measured data collected at millimeter-waves as input for the mapping algorithm

RF MEMS impedance tuners for 6–24 GHz applications

RF MEMS tuners with wide impedance coverage have been developed for 6–24 GHz noise parameter and load-pull measurement systems. The tuners are based on triple-, double-, and single-stub topologies loaded with switched MEMS capacitors. Several designs are presented, and they use 10–13 switched MEMS capacitors to produce 1024–8192 (2 10 –2 13 ) different impedances. The measured impedance coverage agrees well with simulations and it is the widest ever measured impedance coverage from any planar tuner to-date. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fast image deconvolution for enhancement of the resolution in the video rate terahertz imaging

International audienceA fast image deconvolution algorithm is used to demonstrate the resolution enhancement of video rate camera acquired Terahertz images. Our algorithm is based on variable splitting technique with the use of a family of sparsity inducing regularizers for the first time in an image deconvolution application, it is also suitable for practical applications in industry with computationally constrained conditions. The results of the proposed process provide substantial enhancement on the quality and resolution of THz images
