A simple line-of-sight radio system is then simulated and evaluated by incorporating the rain attenuation in the channel. Finally, three basic network blocks are discussed and analyzed for links affected by rain.

A principal meta desta tese é estudar os efeitos da chuva nos enlaces operando na faixa de micro-ondas e comprimentos de ondas milimétricas. Para realizar este estudo, é considerado o modelo de chuva que considera um meio de chuva realista composto por um conjunto de gotas com a relação formato-tamanho proposta por Chuang e Beard, uma distribuição de tamanho das gotas dada por de Wolf, o índice de refração complexo da água para uma frequência e temperatura dada sugerido por Ray e uma distribuição de orientação dos eixos de simetria da partícula. O Extended Boundary Condition Method (EBCM) foi aplicado ao modelo descrito para determinar a atenuação, depolarização e espalhamento devidos à chuva. O desenvolvimento foi validado com sucesso por intermédio de comparações de seus resultados com os correspondentes disponíveis na literatura. O modelo de chuva realista foi utilizado em duas aplicações diferentes. Na primeira, foi estudada a interferência devida à chuva entre enlaces de telecomunicações sem fio operando em frequências de ondas milimétricas em ambientes urbanos. Outra aplicação envolve a determinação da taxa de precipitação por intermédio de radares meteorológicos (em particular, radares banda-X). Considerando que seu custo é relativamente baixo e sua resolução elevada, os radares em banda-X estariam entre as melhores opções para monitorar eventos meteorológicos. Entretanto, são susceptíveis à atenuação devida a gases atmosféricos e chuva ao longo dos enlaces, que impedem que a taxa de precipitação seja estimada diretamente a partir da potência recebida correspondente a uma determinada posição. Desta forma, um modelo de chuva realista foi implementado para calcular a seção reta de retroespalhamento e estimar a atenuação específica por intermédio do EBCM em cada um dos volumes existentes entre o radar e a posição selecionada. Este desenvolvimento permite a correção dos efeitos da atenuação existente no enlace formado entre estas duas posições.
The main goal of this research is to study the rain effects on microwave and millimeter wave radio links. Thus, the rain-induced attenuation, depolarization and scattering are studied. To carry out this study, a realistic rain model is proposed, which consider a realistic rain medium composed by a cluster of raindrops with the shape-size relation proposed by Chuang and Beard, a raindrop size distribution given by de Wolf, index of refraction of water for a given temperature and frequency suggested by Ray and a distribution of the orientation angle of the symmetry axis. The realistic rain model is evaluated with two different applications of systems operating at microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. One of the applications involves wireless telecommunication systems, which are strongly affected by the presence of precipitation. To design an efficient radio communication system, the realistic rain model is applied for the analysis and quantification of rain-induced effects on links operating at millimeterwave frequencies in urban environments. Another application involves weather radars (X-band radars in particular). Considering their relatively low cost and high resolution, X-band radars would be among the best options to monitor meteorological events. However, they are susceptible to attenuation by fog, snow or rain. To solve this problem, a realistic and improved rain model is implemented to compute backscattering cross sections and estimate rain attenuation at each range gate. The proposed method is evaluated using radar data provided by the CASA OTG X-band (lambda equal a 3cm) radar located in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, and X-band radar METEOR 50DX –Selex located in Belém, Brazil.

Full textFine cracks and irregularities on a fast moving conducting surface were detected by the use of microwave and millimeter wave radio responder techniques. The interrogation angle was restricted to an oblique incidence angle less than ±0.5 degree from the surface. The fast moving conducting surface was surrounded by both fast moving and stationary reflective conducting structures. Experimental methods and results from a fine crack 0.1 mm wide, 0.9 mm deep, and 25 mm long on a conducting surface travelling with a speed of 20.23 m/s and measured at 10.525 GH(z) and 73 GH(z) are presented. The reflection-type microwave radio responder consisted of a 10.525 GH(z) 50 mW Gunn diode cw transmitter, a circulator, and a horn antenna used as the interrogator. The receiver in the same responder consisted of the same horn antenna, the circulator and detector diode. The detector diode output was observed with a Norland 3106R digital memory oscilloscope. A reflex kylstron VA 250 was used as the transmitter signal source for the millimeter wave responder. There was a distinct difference between the responder output patterns with uncracked and cracked surfaces. It is therefore possible to use this type of responder for hair-line crack detection of fast moving conducting surfaces. It was also found that this type of radio responder can detect the surface irregularity even before the hairline crack actually occurs.

This study presents a new method of calibrating an orbital cross-track scanning microwave radiometer using a co-located radio occultation (RO) instrument with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The radiometer and RO receiver periodically observe the same volume of atmosphere near the earth's limb, allowing for overlapping, or collocated, measurements that can be used to calibrate the radiometer. This method leverages the benefits of both remote sensing techniques to strengthen the science returned with the goal of achieving dense geospatial sampling and highly accurate calibration. Performance analyses show that the technique is particularly well-suited for implementation on a low-cost CubeSat hosting both radiometer and RO receiver systems on the same spacecraft. We describe a validation platform for this calibration method, the Microwave Radiometer Technology Acceleration (MiRaTA) CubeSat, currently in development by MIT Lincoln Laboratory and MIT Space Systems Laboratory for the NASA Earth Science Technology Office. MiRaTA will fly a multi-band radiometer and the Compact TEC/Atmosphere GPS Sensor (CTAGS) in 2016. We investigate the effect of system design parameters such as hardware specifications and operational concepts on the performance of this co-located remote sensing method.

Direct analog-to-digital conversion of multi-GHz radio frequency (RF) signals is the ultimate goal in software radio receiver design but remains a daunting challenge for any technology. This thesis examines the potential of superconducting technology for realizing RF analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with improved performance. A bandpass delta-sigma (AE) modulator is an attractive architecture for digitizing narrowband signals with high linearity and a large signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The design of a superconducting bandpass AE modulator presented here exploits several advantages of superconducting electronics: the high quality factor of resonators, the high sampling rates of comparators realized with Josephson junctions, natural quantization of voltage pulses, and high circuit sensitivity. Demonstration of a superconducting circuit operating at clock rates in the tens of GHz is often hindered by the difficulty of high speed interfacing with room-temperature test equipment. In this work, a test chip with integrated acquisition memory is used to simplify high speed testing in a cryogenic environment. The small size (256 bits) of the on-chip memory severely limits the frequency resolution of spectra based on standard fast Fourier transforms. Higher resolution spectra are obtained by "segmented correlation", a new method for testing ADCs. Two different techniques have been found for clocking the superconducting modulator at frequencies in the tens of GHz. In the first approach, an optical clocking technique was developed, in which picosecond laser pulses are delivered via optical fiber to an on-chip metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodiode, whose output current pulses trigger the Josephson circuitry. In the second approach, the superconducting modulator is clocked by an on-chip Josephson oscillator.
(cont.) These testing methods have been applied in the successful demonstration of a super-conducting bandpass AE modulator fabricated in a niobium integrated circuit process with 1 kA/cm2 critical current density for the Josephson junctions. At a 42.6 GHz sampling rate, the center frequency of the experimental modulator is 2.23 GHz, the measured SNR is 49 dB over a 20.8 MHz bandwidth, and a full-scale (FS) input is -17.4 dBm. At a 40.2 GHz sampling rate, the measured in-band noise is -57 dBFS over a 19.6 MHz bandwidth.
