非均匀网格时域伪谱算法在超宽带技术中的应用

 与传统时域有限差分算法相比，采用以伪谱方法离散Maxwell微分方程为基础的时域伪谱(PSTD)算法计算大的电尺度电磁场时域问题，将大大提高计算效率，降低内存需求。为了拓宽PSTD算法的应用，近年来，基于网格插值方法的非均匀时域伪谱算法得到了发展。研究的重点是算法中非均匀网格技术的实现及其在时域瞬态脉冲电磁场模拟和高功率超宽带脉冲技术方面的应用。以高斯脉冲为激励源，用该算法计算了多层介质的反射和透射，并通过超宽带脉冲穿墙实验对这一方法的应用进行了验证。模拟和实验结果具有较好的一致性。     

Design of sextuple-mode triple-ring HTS UWB filter using two-round interpolation

A single-stage ring resonator capable of introducing six modes within the ultra-wideband (UWB) passband is presented. The sextuple-mode resonator consists of three rings and three sets of stepped-impedance open stubs. Based on this sextuple-mode resonator, a UWB filter fed by the interdigital-coupling line (ICL) is designed. And we propose a two-round interpolation method to obtain the filter's initial dimensions. The designed filter is fabricated on a double-sided YBCO/MgO/YBCO high-temperature superconducting (HTS) thin film for demonstration. The experimental results show that this UWB filter produces eight resonances in the passband eventually, which effectively improves the in-band reflection and the band-edge steepness. Moreover, the upper stopband performance is enhanced due to the transmission zeros (TZs) generated by the stepped-impedance open stubs and the ICL structure. The measured good performance verifies the practicability of the two-round interpolation approach, which can also be extended to other odd-even-mode filter designs.     

A novel design using meshed-planar fan-electromagnetic bandgap (MP-FEBG) structure for ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna

A concept to combine the plane fan antenna with the meshed-planar electromagnetic bandgap (MP-EBG) structure is proposed; and then, based on the theory, a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with double-deck meshed-planar fan-electromagnetic bandgap (MP-FEBG) is designed. The structure of the sector is beneficial to the increase of the antenna bandwidth. The double layer structure can greatly reduce the size of the antenna, and the aperture structure can easily adjust antenna's performance. The antenna is compact in size, suitable for UWB applications. An antenna model was established on the substrate of FR4 and at least 79.1% dimension of the antenna was reduced by the traditional UWB antenna in the related documents. The simulation results show that the antenna can achieve a wide bandwidth from 3.20 to 15.78 GHz with return loss less than −10 dB and exhibit stable antenna gain. Furthermore, the measurement result is in better consistence with the simulation result.     

A Novel UWB Antenna with Small Side-Leakage

A successful design for a UWB (ultra-wideband antennas) antenna based on NRD-guide (nonradiative dielectric waveguide) with small side-leakage is presented. The rule of the theoretical selection of its parameters, if NRD-guide is used as the UWB antennas, is studied firstly, then the temporal propagation characteristics of the NRD-guide and the radiation characteristics for an tapered open-ended NRD-guide are calculated by FDTD (finite-difference time-domain) method.     

A High-Power Reflector Impulse Antenna with Dual-Tem Source

There are different demands on radiation efficiency and direction pattern according to various ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas and high power applications. To obtain more radiating gain on bore-sight of paraboloidal reflector and centralized radiating direction, a novel feeding structure called dual-TEM source has been designed and applied in half-paraboloidal reflector impulse radiating antenna (IRA) applications. Simulation results proved that this proposed half-paraboloidal reflector IRA with dual-TEM source provided greater radiation performance on bore-sight as a result of the synthesized power in the aperture space of paraboloid. Moreover, lots of simulation work and comparison have been done in different feeding models to summarize a relative optimal feeding structure.     

Bayesian fusion of GNSS,ITS-G5 and IR–UWB data for robust cooperative vehicular localization

In the automotive domain, Cooperative Localization (CLoc) is a new promising paradigm that aims at outperforming conventional Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in terms of positioning accuracy, robustness, and service continuity, by relying on Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications and hybrid data fusion. However, the growing number and the variety of the sensors aboard vehicles raise unprecedented challenges, especially in the context of distributed fusion approaches. This paper thus compares parametric and nonparametric Bayesian data fusion engines (e.g., based on cooperative variants of the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Particle Filter (PF), respectively), while validating a CLoc scheme suitable to Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). More particularly, absolute position information from both onboard GNSS receiver and ITS-G5 V2V messages, as well as relative distance measurements based on the Impulse Radio–Ultra-Wideband (IR–UWB) technology, are combined into a single location solution that is hopefully more robust and more accurate than that of standalone GNSS. First, we investigate V2V ranging accuracy on a highway under real mobility conditions. In the same environment, we then provide offline validations of CLoc positioning, confirming significant performance gains through cooperation over conventional GNSS, even in case of poor initialization. In this specific context, the PF solution is thus shown to yield even better accuracy in comparison with EKF, thanks to its fine robustness against faced non-linear dynamics and non-Gaussian noise processes. Finally, we illustrate the resilience of the proposed solution under temporary GNSS denial.
