TL;DR: An optimization method based on Genetic Algorithm for design of reconfigurable dual-beam linear isotropic antenna arrays with phase only control of digital phase shifters is proposed.
Abstract: In this paper, we propose an optimization method based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) for design of reconfigurable dual-beam linear isotropic antenna arrays with phase only control of digital phase shifters The problem is to find a fixed amplitude distribution using four-bit digital attenuator that will generate two broadsided symmetrical beams in vertical plane: a pencil beam with zero phases and a flat-top beam with discrete phases of a five-bit digital phase shifter, with or without pre-fixing the dynamic range ratio (I max /I min) of excitation amplitude distribution to a value equal to or less than seven

TL;DR: In a wide range of applications, MPS PIV is a robust approach to increase the dynamic velocity range without restricting the vector evaluation methods.
Abstract: The dynamic velocity range of particle image velocimetry (PIV) is determined by the maximum and minimum resolvable particle displacement. Various techniques have extended the dynamic range, however flows with a wide velocity range (e.g., impinging jets) still challenge PIV algorithms. A new technique is presented to increase the dynamic velocity range by over an order of magnitude. The multiple pulse separation (MPS) technique (i) records series of double-frame exposures with different pulse separations, (ii) processes the fields using conventional multi-grid algorithms, and (iii) yields a composite velocity field with a locally optimized pulse separation. A robust criterion determines the local optimum pulse separation, accounting for correlation strength and measurement uncertainty. Validation experiments are performed in an impinging jet flow, using laser-Doppler velocimetry as reference measurement. The precision of mean flow and turbulence quantities is significantly improved compared to conventional PIV, due to the increase in dynamic range. In a wide range of applications, MPS PIV is a robust approach to increase the dynamic velocity range without restricting the vector evaluation methods.

TL;DR: An optimized method for multiwavelength interferometry that allows measurements beyond the largest beat wavelength, and has the potential to range over >100 m using femtosecond laser frequency comb sources.
Abstract: We present an optimized method for multiwavelength interferometry that allows measurements beyond the largest beat wavelength. The approach exploits wavelength coincidence between two beat wavelengths in order to measure unambiguously over an extended range. Performance of the approach has been validated both through simulations and experimentally by means of a fiber interferometer for four measurement wavelengths. Initial results have demonstrated 1/200th of a fringe phase resolution, giving absolute metrology over 18.16 mm, or a dynamic range of 1 part in 2.4×106. With improved phase resolution the method has the potential to range over >100 m using femtosecond laser frequency comb sources.

TL;DR: In this paper, a microwave-coupled ring resonator with a wide dynamic range is studied for use in sensing applications, which is well suited for low-cost, real-time low-power, and CMOS compatible sensing technologies.
Abstract: A highly sensitive, microwave-coupled ring resonator with a wide dynamic range is studied for use in sensing applications. The resonator's structure has two resonant rings and, consequently, two resonant frequencies, operating at 2.3 and 2.45 GHz. Inductive and capacitive coupling mechanisms are explored and compared to study their sensing performance. Primary finite element analysis and measurement results are used to compare the capacitive and inductive coupled ring resonators, demonstrating sensitivity improvements of up to 75% and dynamic range enhancement up to 100% in the capacitive coupled structure. In this work, we are proposing capacitive coupled planar ring resonators as a wide dynamic range sensing platform for liquid sensing applications. This sensing device is well suited for low-cost, real-time low-power, and CMOS compatible sensing technologies.

31 Mar 1999TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic range enhancement system (DRES) was proposed to enhance the dynamic range of a CCD imaging device with a variable gain amplifier and a limited bit-width analog-to-digital converter.
Abstract: A dynamic range enhancement system (DRES) receives input signals from an imager device connected to a correlated double sampling (CDS) circuit for receiving the video signal from the CCD imaging device. The dynamic range enhancement system includes a variable gain amplifier (VGA), and a limited bit-width analog-to-digital converter (ADC) which digitizes the analog signal received from the VGA. The output of the ADC is provided to an initial bit range position of a wider bit-width shifter connected to the output of the ADC. The DRES system includes a 2-bit ADC for extending the dynamic range of the imager device, which enhances the dynamic range of a 10 bit ADC to 13 bits.
