Detection of Low RCS Unmanned Air Systems Using K-Band Continuous Wave Doppler Radar
UASs (Unmanned Air Systems) are universally used in many activities, spanning from leisure-commercial to military applications. Accordingly, as the number of UASs operating in the sky increases, so does the need to detect and identify them, in order to ...

3D Printed Hemispherically Radiating Antenna for Broadband Millimeter Wave Applications
Nowadays, additive manufacturing provides far-reaching possibilities for use in radio frequency components. In addition to almost unlimited freedom of design as compared to conventional manufacturing, the absence of further assembly steps is a key aspect

The Interaction of Microwaves with Materials of Different Properties
Electromagnetic radiation, such as microwaves, are all the time reflected, transmitted, and/or absorbed by any kind of matter, glasses, conductors, water, ferrites, and so forth. Magnetic materials absorb greatly microwaves.

Dual-Frequency Airborne SAR for Large Scale Mapping of Tidal Flats
Digital elevation models of tidal flats are a most valuable data source for the water management of coastal areas and need frequent updates to account for changes in sedimentation, erosion and identification of damages in building infrastructure.

Magnetization switching by microwaves initially rotating in opposite direction to precession [PDF]
A common understanding of magnetization switching in microwave-assisted magnetization reversal is that the rotation direction of the microwaves should be the same with the precession direction of the magnetization. In this letter however, we show that microwaves initially rotating opposite to the magnetization precession destabilize the magnetization ...

Universal holonomic quantum gates over geometric spin qubits with polarised microwaves
A microwave shares a nonintuitive phase called the geometric phase with an interacting electron spin after an elastic scattering. The geometric phase, generally discarded as a global phase, allows universal holonomic gating of an ideal logical qubit ...

Characterization of the Amazon Rainforest Backscatter at X-Band Using TanDEM-X Data
The radiometric calibration of spaceborne SAR products plays a key role for ensuring a good performance of the whole end-to-end system and requires a precise knowledge of both the radar system and the illuminated target on ground.

A Tutorial on the Sequential Sampling Impulse Radar Concept and Selected Applications
The sequential sampling impulse radar is a radar concept that has been known for a very long time. Ultrawideband (UWB) radar systems have been realized based on this concept long before the popular phrases UWB and UWB radar were created.
