Contour-FFT based Spectral Domain MBF Analysis of Large Printed Antenna Arrays
Shambhu Nath Jha, Christophe Craeye
A fast spectral-domain method is proposed to evaluate the reaction terms between the Macro Basis Functions in regular and non-regular arrays made of identical printed antennas. The…
An Ultra-wideband Battery-less Positioning System for Space Applications
Davide Dardari, Nicolò Decarli, Davide Fabbri +10
An ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) remote-powered positioning system for potential use in tracking floating objects inside space stations is presented. It makes use of battery-less tags…
All-analytical evaluation of the singular integrals involved in the Method of Moments
Denis Tihon, Christophe Craeye
Surface Integral Equation (SIE) methods routinely require the integration of the singular Green's function or its gradient over Basis Functions (BF) and Testing Functions (TF). Man…
Statistics of the MLE and Approximate Upper and Lower Bounds - Part 1: Application to TOA Estimation
Achraf Mallat, Sinan Gezici, Davide Dardari +2
In nonlinear deterministic parameter estimation, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is unable to attain the Cramer-Rao lower bound at low and medium signal-to-noise ratios (SNR…
A Broadband Multipole Method for Accelerated Mutual Coupling Analysis of Large Irregular Arrays Including Rotated Antennas
Quentin Gueuning, Eloy de Lera Acedo, Anthony Keith Brown +2
We present a numerical method for the analysis of mutual coupling effects in large, dense and irregular arrays with identical antennas. Building on the Method of Moments (MoM), our…
SKA LFAA Station Design Report
Eloy de Lera Acedo, Hardie Pienaar, Nima Razavi Ghods +16
This report was submitted as part of the SKA Low Frequency Aperture Array Critical Design Review describing the design of the SKA1-LOW station that took place between 2013 and 2018…
