TomoSAR Mapping of 3D Forest Structure: Contributions of L-Band Configurations
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) measurements are unique for mapping forest 3D structure and its changes in time. Tomographic SAR (TomoSAR) configurations exploit this potential by reconstructing the 3D radar reflectivity.

Antenna Array Calibration Using a Sparse Scene
In radar systems, antenna arrays acquire direction-dependent information to localize targets or create images of the environment. However, because of unknown complex amplitudes per channel and mutual coupling, a calibration is necessary for good ...

Statistical Regularization for Enhanced TomoSAR Imaging
One of the main topics in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) tomography (TomoSAR) is the estimation of the vertical structures' location, which scatter the field back toward the sensor, constrained to a reduced number of passes. Moreover, the introduction of

High-Fidelity Trapped-Ion Quantum Logic Using Near-Field Microwaves. [PDF]
We demonstrate a two-qubit logic gate driven by near-field microwaves in a room-temperature microfabricated surface ion trap. We introduce a dynamically decoupled gate method, which stabilizes the qubits against fluctuating energy shifts and avoids the ...

Model-Based Interpretation of PolSAR Data for the Characterization of Glacier Zones in Greenland
Different approaches have been proposed in recent years to map glacier zones using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Most of them rely on empirical or statistical approaches for the interpretation of backscatter intensity measurements and their seasonal ...

Generating Multimode Entangled Microwaves with a Superconducting Parametric Cavity [PDF]
In this Letter, we demonstrate the generation of multimode entangled states of propagating microwaves. The entangled states are generated by parametrically pumping a multimode superconducting cavity.

Huygens’ metasurfaces from microwaves to optics: a review
In this article, the basic principles and the main applications of Huygens’ metasurfaces (HMSs) are reviewed from microwaves to optics. In general, HMSs comprise a thin layer of orthogonal electric and magnetic dipoles, which form an array of Huygens ...

Temporal and Spatial Analyses of Spectral Indices of Nonthermal Emissions Derived from Hard X-Rays and Microwaves [PDF]
We studied electron spectral indices of nonthermal emissions seen in hard X-rays (HXRs) and in microwaves. We analyzed 12 flares observed by the Hard X-ray Telescope aboard {\it Yohkoh}, Nobeyama Radio Polarimeters (NoRP), and the Nobeyama ...

Microwaves Are Everywhere: “SMM: Nano-Microwaves” [PDF]
If the Twentieth Century boasted of the Space Age and the Computer Age, the Twenty-First Century is certainly starting off with the Age of Biology, or at least Biochemistry. The enormous impact of CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification), cryo-EM (electron microscopy), and many ...
