This paper is concerned with robotic applications using a ground‐based radar sensor for simultaneous localization and mapping problems. In mobile robotics, radar technology is interesting because of its long range and the robustness of radar waves to atmospheric conditions, making these sensors well‐suited for extended outdoor robotic applications. Two locali...

We briefly review some non-accelerator high-frequency applications of superconductors. These include the use of high-Tc superconductors in front-end band-pass filters in cellular telephone base stations, the High Temperature Superconductor Space Experiment, and high-speed digital electronics. We also present an overview of our work on a novel form of near-field scanning microscopy at microwave ...

Use of information and communication technology is becoming popular with time as this technology is coming with a lot of lavishness so people are demanding more of it. Electronic items have taken a status symbol in our lives. In India rich class is using up to date devices like cell phones, laptops, computers, microwave ovens, fridge, televisions etc and then pass it on to the poor class. There...

Land mobile communication signals are subject to propagation effects that result in variation of received signal amplitude and phase. The most rapid signal variations are the result of multipath propagation and occur with sufficient severity to make reception difficult. At microwave frequencies, the narrowband (30-kHz) channel is considered nondispersive. It will experience flat amplitude fadin...

Most point-to-point communication links (e.g., the telephone line channel, fixed microwave channels, etc.) are well-modeled using a bandpass additive noise system model of the form shown in Figure 1.1. All the signals in this model are written with “tildas” which will be dropped in the complex baseband representation of the following section. A more detailed description of the link model is as ...

Mobile WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is being touted as the most promising and potential broadband wireless technology. And the popularity rate has been surging to newer heights as the knowledge-backed service era unfolds steadily. Especially Mobile WiMAX is being projected as a real and strategic boon for developing counties such as India due to its wireless coverage ...

Recent improvements in the quality and reliability of wireless communications has led to the development of a range of mobile computing devices. Many portable computers now offer modem connections through cellular and satellite telephone networks. Taxi services, emergency vehicles, domestic repair teams all now rely upon mobile links to central computing systems. In spite of these advances, a n...

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access ( WiMAX) is a technology that bridges the gap between fixed and mobile access and offer the same subscriber experience for fixed and mobile user. Demand for such type of mobile broadband services and applications are growing rapidly as it provides freedom to the subscribers to be online wherever they are at a competitive price and other significan...

Ultra-wideband (UWB) technique has become one of the most fascinating technologies with various antennas. It has the merits of high speed transmission rate, low power consumption and simple hardware configuration over conventional wireless communication systems. The research and development of the UWB systems including antennas have been widely performed [1-5]. Recently, UWB systems have focuse...
