Partial discharge localization using time reversal: Application to gas insulated switchgear

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Hamidreza Karami

Gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) are some of the most reliable and most expensive equipment that are nowadays used in power systems. Condition monitoring of the power system equipment can help operators detect defects like partial discharges (PDs) early, pre ...

Performance of a high vacuum, high temperature compatible millimeter-range viewing dump for the vertical ECE experiment on TCV

Ambrogio Fasoli, Laurie Porte, Arsène Stéphane Tema Biwole

A high vacuum and high temperature compatible viewing dump, made of MACOR, was designed and installed in TCV for Vertical ECE experiments in the 75-110 GHz frequency range. Measurements of the dump prior to installation in the tokamak showed in more than 9 ...

TDOA Source-Localization Technique Robust to Time-Synchronization Attacks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Marguerite Marie Nathalie Delcourt

In this paper, we focus on the localization of a passive source from time difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements. TDOA values are computed with respect to pairs of fixed sensors that are required to be accurately time-synchronized. This constitutes a we ...

GPS Based Navigation Performance Analysis within and beyond the Space Service Volume for Different Transmitters’ Antenna Patterns

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano, Paul David Blunt, Endrit Shehaj

In recent years, global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-based navigation in high earth orbits (HEOs) has become a field of research interest since it can increase the spacecraft’s autonomy, thereby reducing the operating costs. However, the GNSS availab ...

Analysis of lightning electromagnetic field propagation in mountainous terrain and its effects on ToA-based lightning location systems

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Zhaoyang Wang, Keyhan Sheshyekani, Dongshuai Li, Qilin Zhang

In this paper, we analyze the propagation effects on lightning-radiated electromagnetic fields over mountainous terrain by using a three-dimensional (3-D) finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. We also discuss the time delay error in the time-of-arri ...

Path-loss and car-body-effect characterization for smart tires communications at UWB and ISM bands

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Christian Robert, Gabriele Tasselli, Saeed Ghamari, Yi Guo

Next generation of smart tires will improve the safety and stability of the vehicle by monitoring road parameters, such as pavement and rolling conditions, with sensors placed on tire surface. Between the tread and the metal belt of the tire there are only ...

Time-domain performance of a patch-loaded band-reject UWB antenna

Anja Skrivervik, Nuno Miguel Faria Pires, Mohsen Koohestani

A previous study of a novel technique to design a band-reject UWB monopole antenna by using patch loading is extended. Frequency-domain measurements have confirmed that the antenna designed using this technique rejects the interfering signal at the two int ...

Performance Improvement of TDOA-Based Speaker Localization in Joint Noisy and Reverberant Conditions

TDOA- (time difference of arrival-) based algorithms are common methods for speech source localization. The generalized cross correlation (GCC) method is the most important approach for estimating TDOA between microphone pairs. The performance of this meth ...

A New Planar Antenna Element For Ka-Band Applications

Juan Ramon Mosig, Jean-François Zürcher, Rafal Glogowski

One of the most promising bands for long-range radiocommunications is the Ka-band (25-40 GHz). This is due to the existence of a natural radio transmission window around 30 GHz. Both terrestrial and satellite transmission systems are planned on this freque ...

Cramer-Rao bounds for the estimation of multipath parameters and mobiles' positions in asynchronous DS-CDMA systems

Cyril Botteron

Commercial applications for the location of subscribers of wireless services continue to expand. Consequently, finding the Cramer–Rao lower bound (CRLB), which serves as an optimality criterion for the location estimation problem, is of interest. In this p ...
