We calculate the optically thin synchrotron emission of fast electrons and positrons in a spiral stationary magnetic field and a radial electric field of a rotating relativistic strongly magnetized force–free jet consisting of electron-positron pair plasma. The magnetic field has a helical structure with a uniform axial component and a toroidal component that is maximal inside the jet and decre...

[1] Residual mantle exposures in the accreted Talkeetna arc, Alaska, provide the first rock analog for the arc-parallel flow that is inferred from seismic anisotropy at several modern arcs. The peridotites exposed at the base of the Jurassic Talkeetna arc have a Moho-parallel foliation and indicate dislocation creep of olivine at temperatures of 1000 to >1100 C. Slip occurred chiefly on the (00...

This paper is concerned with DOA estimation using a single-electromagnetic vector sensor in the presence of mutual coupling. Firstly, we apply the temporally smoothing technique to improve the identifiability limit of a single-vector sensor. In particular, we establish sufficient conditions for constructing temporally smoothed matrices to resolve K > 2 incompletely polarized (IP) monochromatic ...

Direction finder, an important component of electronic warfare system, is a device that detects electromagnetic waves radiated from target radar and measures its angle of arrival. Compared to the phase-comparison method, the amplitudecomparison method has simpler system, and it’s easy to miniaturize; however, relatively, its direction finding is less accurate, and it has various factors that oc...

Ground-Based SAR system that obtains a high resolution 2D image on the ground is a new type of SAR system such as air-borne and space-borne SAR. The measured fully polarimetric SAR images with HH, HV, VH, and VV were focused using the Deramp-FFT (DF) algorithm in terms of their image formation principles. SAR polarimetry technique is concerned with control of the polarimetric properties of rada...

[1] Shear wave splitting measurements using teleseismic PKS, SKKS, and SKS phases recorded by station LSA on the southern part of the Lhasa Terrane of the Tibetan Plateau reveal significant azimuthal anisotropy with a splitting time of up to 1.5 s, a conclusion that is contradictory to previous studies which suggested isotropy or weak anisotropy. In addition, systematic variations of the splitt...

The main objective of this study is to analyse the polarimetric characteristics of the various terrain targets by ground-based polarimetric SAR system and to confirm the compatible and effective polarimetric analysis method to reveal the polarization properties of different terrain targets by the GB-SAR. The fully polarimetric GB-SAR data with HH, HV, VH, and VV components were focused using th...

Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) methods provide a computationally efficient way to solve for antenna based gains in full polarization. In this paper, we analyze the convergence of such methods in simulations. We show that convergence of a basic implementation can be quite slow and we propose two forms of relaxation to improve convergence behavior. The algorithm can be shown to be statistic...

An in-line Mach–Zehnder-interferometer-based two-dimensional (2-D) micrometric displacement sensor was fabricated by inserting a polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) with a length of 1 cm between two conventional singlemode fibers (SMFs). The left end of the PMF was mismatch fusion spliced with an SMF. The right end of the PMF was connected to another SMF without fusion splicing. Two independen...
