Pulses in Upward Negative Lightning at the Säntis Tower in Northeastern Switzerland

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Davide Pavanello, Lixia He

Upward lightning happens predominantly from tall objects. The channel-base currents associated with upward negative lightning initiated from towers exhibit pulses that can be classified, based on their waveform features and on the concurrence with other pr ...

New diagnostics for density measurement on Frascati Tokamak upgrade

Fabio Avino, Anton Petrov

In FTU, density profile is measured with two new diagnostics: a CO2/CO scanning interferometer and a time-of-flight radar (denominated refractometer). The first, using two scanning beams, can provide a plasma density profile every 62.5 mu s. Two lasers (CO ...

Near-Nyquist optical pulse generation with fiber optical parametric amplification

Camille Sophie Brès, Mohammad Amin Shoaie

A novel method using optical fiber parametric amplification and phase modulation is proposed in order to generate Nyquist pulses. Using parabolic pulses as a pump, we show theoretically that it is possible to generate Nyquist pulses. Furthermore, we show t ...

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 ...

Analysis of UWB antennas for carrier-based UWB impulse radio

Anja Skrivervik, Gabriela Quintero Diaz De Leon

A Carrier-based UWB pulse is compared with the commonly used Gaussian pulse. Two antenna systems are simulated and measured in frequency domain. The impulse response and the Power Spectral Density (PSD) of both studied pulses are obtained. The effect of ea ...
