On the efficient computation of range and Doppler data in noise radar
In noise radar, digital signal processing algorithms for implementing the computation of the Cross Ambiguity Function through range correlation and Doppler compensation call for optimized solutions. In fact, to achieve a high coherent processing gain, they often compute a large amount of data beyond the maximum range and/or the maximum radial velocity of interest, adding useless information.

A compact quad-band bandpass filter with mixed electric and magnetic coupling
In this paper, based on a novel multimode stub-loaded resonator, a second-order quad-band bandpass filter (BPF) with mixed electric and magnetic coupling is presented. The electric coupling and magnetic coupling are realized by arranging the parallel coupled lines and the grounded stub, respectively. Eight controllable resonant modes can be simultaneously excited and easily tuned. Eight transmissi
Reactively-loaded non-periodic slow-wave artificial transmission lines for stop band bandwidth enhancement: application to power splitters
This paper presents slow-wave transmission lines based on non-periodic reactive loading. Specifically, the loading elements are stepped impedance shunt stubs (SISS). By sacrificing periodicity using SISS tuned to different frequencies, multiple transmission zeros above the pass band arise, and the rejection level and bandwidth of the stop band is improved as compared with those of periodic structu
A low-phase noise -band signal source based on 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS and 0.15 µm AlGaN/GaN HEMT technologies
This paper reports on a record-low-phase noise -band signal source with 5 dBm output power, and 1.3 GHz tuning range. The source is based on the unconventional combination of a fundamental frequency 23 GHz oscillator in 150 nm AlGaN/GaN HEMT technology followed by a 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS MMIC including a sixtupler and an amplifier. The amplifier operates in compression mode as power-limiting amplifie
LTE-based passive multistatic radar for high-speed railway network surveillance: design and preliminary results
With the aim of performing perimeter surveillance of high-speed railway networks, this paper presents the design of a passive multistatic radar system based on the use of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) downlink signals as the illumination of opportunity. Taking into account the specifications and standard of the LTE system, the ambiguity function of measured downlink signals is analyzed in terms of ran
A low-noise and flexible FPGA-based binary signal measurement generator
In the area of electromagnetic metrology, binary coded excitation signals become more and more important and various binary coded sequences are available. The measurement approach is to assess the impulse response function of a device under test by correlating the response signal with the excitation signal. In order to achieve a high measurement reproducibility as well as a high dynamic range, the
Mixed-technology quasi-reflectionless planar filters: bandpass, bandstop, and multi-band designs
The design of mixed-technology quasi-reflectionless planar bandpass filters (BPFs), bandstop filters (BSFs), and multi-band filters is reported. The proposed quasi-reflectionless filter architectures comprise a main filtering section that determines the power transmission response (bandpass, bandstop, or multi-band type) of the overall circuit network and auxiliary sections that absorb the reflect
