Imaging antenna arrays

TL;DR: In this article, a planar line antenna array and optical system for imaging has been developed by using a reverse-microscope optical configuration and a modified bow-tie antenna design, which eliminates the troublesome effects of substrate surface waves.

Realizing 5G: Microwave Photonics for 5G Mobile Wireless Systems

TL;DR: The objective here is to open discussions about the optimal technologies for the implementing 5G networks and to determine whether their goals are achievable in the near future.

A phased-array radiowave imager for studies of cosmic noise absorption

D. L. Detrick, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1990 - 
TL;DR: The IRIS system as discussed by the authors uses a 64-element dipole array, phased to produce 49 independent beams viewing an ionospheric area about 200 km square at 90 km altitude.
Dissertation

An investigation of a frequency diverse array

P. Antonik
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a novel concept for focusing an antenna beam pattern as a function of range, time, and angle, which results in more flexible beam scan options for phased array antennas than traditional phase shifter implementations.

Degenerate mode band‐pass birdcage coil for accelerated parallel excitation

TL;DR: An eight‐rung, 3T degenerate birdcage coil was constructed and evaluated for accelerated parallel excitation of the head with eight independent excitation channels and the orthogonal basis set provided by the Butler matrix was found to be advantageous when an Orthogonal subset of these modes was used to mitigate B1 transmit inhomogeneities using parallelexcitation.

Multiple beams from linear arrays

TL;DR: The problem of devising a passive RF transmission line feed system to provide independent multiple outputs from a linear array and the problem of finding applicable junctions more complex than the hybrid is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

A theoretical limitation on the formation of lossless multiple beams in linear arrays

TL;DR: In this paper, the shape of the beams which can be formed from an equispaced array by such a feed matrix is not arbitrary, unless one is willing to accept losses in addition to normal plumbing losses.

An RF Multiple Beam-Forming Technique

TL;DR: In this article, an RF beamforming matrix is described which forms simultaneous beams from an n-element array in a passive and theoretically lossless manner, and the principle of operation is explained using some simple matrix configuration.
