Fast ion generation with ICRF waves and beams in the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator

The largest operating stellarator, Wendelstein 7-X, is of the quasi-isodynamic type. For this design to scale up to a fusion reactor, several criteria must be met, one of them being good fast ion confinement. The latter still has to be tested experimentall ...

Intelligent RF System for Ultra Low Power Spectrum Sensing with Machine Learning

Naci Pekçokgüler

The crowdedness of the RF spectrum constitutes problems in communication, however it also accommodates large amount of useful information. This information can be used to determine existing signals and operating contexts. However, spectrum condition varies ...

On the Complete Radiation Pattern of a Vertical Hertzian Dipole Above a Low-Loss Ground

Krzysztof Michalski, Juan Ramon Mosig

The complete radiation field pattern of a vertical Hertzian dipole antenna on or above a lossless or low-loss dielectric half-space is studied using a rigorous Sommerfeld formalism. The reflected fields in the air above the interface and the subsurface fie ...

Easily Deployable Underwater Acoustic Navigation System for Multi-Vehicle Environmental Sampling Applications

Alcherio Martinoli, Alexander Bahr, Felix Stephan Schill, Anwar Ahmad Quraishi

Water as a medium poses a number of challenges for robots, limiting the progress of research in underwater robotics vis-a-vis ground or aerial robotics. The primary challenges are satellite based positioning and radio communication being unusable due to hi ...

A radio ridge connecting two galaxy clusters in a filament of the cosmic web

Claudio Gheller

Galaxy clusters are the most massive gravitationally bound structures in the Universe. They grow by accreting smaller structures in a merging process that produces shocks and turbulence in the intracluster gas. We observed a ridge of radio emission connect ...

Structured transparent low emissivity coatings with high microwave transmission

Andreas Schueler, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard, Luc Burnier

In order to reduce the energy consumption of buildings, modern windows include metal-containing coatings. These coatings strongly attenuate the microwaves used for mobile communications. Here, we present a novel approach to improve radio signal transmissio ...

The Sommerfeld Halfspace Problem Redux: Alternative Field Representations, Role of Zenneck and Surface Plasmon Waves

Juan Ramon Mosig, Krzysztof Michalski

The problem of a vertical Hertzian dipole radiating in the presence of a lossy conducting halfspace, first formally solved by Sommerfeld in 1909, is revisited. Using rigorous operator theory concepts and the characteristic Green function procedure, alterna ...

A network of disdrometers to quantify the small-scale variability of the raindrop size distribution

Alexis Berne, André Studzinski, Joël Jaffrain

Insight into the spatial variability of the (rain) drop size distribution (DSD), and hence rainfall, is of primary importance for various environmental applications like cloud/precipitation microphysical processes, numerical weather modeling, and estimatio ...

The Cicada Attack: Degradation and Denial of Service in IR Ranging

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski, Manuel Flury

We demonstrate that an interferer with malicious intentions can significantly degrade the performance of impulse radio (IR) ranging. The cicada attack we have developed can decrease the distance (degradation of service) measured by ranging algorithms desig ...

Analysis and Design of Ultra-Wideband Antennas in the Spectral and Temporal Domains

Gabriela Quintero Diaz De Leon

Formal research on Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology started in the U.S. in 2002; where its definition was formulated and the frequency allocation in that country established. However, the first ultra-wideband transmission was done during the confirmation of ...

Novel Algorithms on Impulse Radio Ultra-WideBand Ranging

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, John Farserotu, Hai Zhan

We consider the problem of ranging with impulse radio (IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) radio under dense multipaths propagation environments and additive Gaussian noise. We propose a Bayesian detection algorithm where the prior distribution of the channel follows ...
