TL;DR: The proposed SBPP technique is effective in reducing BBP and improving spectral efficiency compared to conventional SBPP schemes and 1+1 path protection.
Abstract: This paper considers distance adaptive dynamic routing and spectrum assignment (RSA) for elastic optical networks with shared backup path protection (SBPP). Efficient heuristic algorithms based on spectrum window planes are proposed for implementing distance and modulation format adaptive RSA so as to maximize spare capacity sharing among multiple protection lightpaths. A differentiated sharable frequency slot cost was also defined for the first time to more efficiently share protection resource. Network performance is evaluated in terms of bandwidth blocking probability (BBP) through simulations. The proposed SBPP technique is effective in reducing BBP and improving spectral efficiency compared to conventional SBPP schemes and 1+1 path protection. The impact of transponder tunability on bandwidth blocking performance is also evaluated to show that a limited tuning range is sufficient to achieve a BBP performance close to that with full tunability.

TL;DR: In this paper, a low profile printed slot antenna using wideband artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is presented with improved radiation performance, which achieves a wide impedance bandwidth in the measured frequency range of 7.96-12.56 GHz for X-band applications.
Abstract: In this paper, a novel design of low profile printed slot antenna using wideband artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is presented with improved radiation performance. For this purpose, the radiating slots with three unequal arms fed by coplanar waveguide are employed for broadening the impedance bandwidth with three resonances. It achieves a wide impedance bandwidth in the measured frequency range of 7.96–12.56 GHz ( $S_{11}\leq -10$ dB) for X-band applications. By loading a novel wideband planar AMC surface as the antenna ground plane, the radiation properties of this printed slot antenna are enhanced. This design includes the measured −10 dB impedance bandwidth from 5.75 to 14.51 GHz (86.48%). The proposed wideband planar AMC design operates at the frequency of 10.15 GHz with ±90° reflection phase bandwidth of 8–12.38 GHz (43.15%). The AMC surface is designed with the $5\times 8$ array of periodic patches which are developed underneath the broadband printed slot antenna. In comparison with the proposed design without AMC, the printed slot antenna loaded with AMC introduces 62.82% size reduction, a bandwidth enhancement of 41.65%, and better impedance matching. It also contributes considerable features like a low profile antenna with unidirectional radiation patterns and an increased gain of more than 10.6 dBi.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel approach of true-time delay (TTD) optical feeder for phased-array antennas is proposed and demonstrated by employing tunable lasers and one wide bandwidth chirped-fiber grating as dispersive element.
Abstract: A novel approach of true-time delay (TTD) optical feeder for phased-array antennas is proposed and demonstrated. A compact size continuously variable TTD is achieved by employing tunable lasers and one wide bandwidth chirped-fiber grating as dispersive element. A high-resolution performance (5.3 ps) is obtained for a 26-GHz phased-array antenna employing narrow tuning bandwidth lasers with a wavelength stability of 0.005 nm and a 4 nm bandwidth chirped grating.

TL;DR: In this paper, different approaches to the physical layer system design for UWB networks are studied, and some of the challenges and opportunities inherent in their design and implementation are compared, emphasizing timing acquisition and performance in multipath.
Abstract: Ultrawideband (UWB) is a promising radio technology for networks delivering extremely high data rates at short ranges. In this paper, different approaches to the physical layer system design for such networks are studied, and some of the challenges and opportunities inherent in their design and implementation are compared. For example, the use of extremely short duration pulses offers great possibilities for position location, but makes the timing synchronization task more complex. The ultra-wide bandwidth offers excellent frequency diversity and multipath resolution, but the channel estimation and multipath combining tasks are correspondingly more challenging. A pulse based UWB system (or impulse radio, IR-UWB) and a novel pulsed multicarrier UWB system are compared, emphasizing timing acquisition and performance in multipath. Some other differences, including interference avoidance, equalization, etc. are briefly dealt with.
