The paper deals with angular resolution of phased antenna arrays and with methods of better angular resolution based on spectral estimation in the case of two close targets. Angular resolution with continuous scanning is dependent mainly on the angle distance between two close targets. Angular resolution with electronic scanning is not dependent only on the distance between two close targets, but also on the step size angle and starting point angle of scanning. It is possible to achieve better angular resolution by methods of direction of arrival (DOA). This paper presents DOA analysis of angular resolution of these methods: Capon, Pisarenko, MUSIC and ESPRIT.

This paper presents how a developed multichannel vector network analyzer, combined with the near-field measurement method, can significantly increase the reliability of surveillance services to air traffic control, by providing a faster measurement potential of the radar antenna's radiation pattern. A systematic radiation pattern check is vital to maintain the expected radar performance and safe operation.

In this paper, a linearly polarized half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) U-slot antenna is proposed. It is based on a combination of U-shaped slot etched in the HMSIW top wall and two shorts placed in this slot. Thanks to this configuration, a linearly polarized antenna with maximum radiation in the normal direction is obtained. The antenna is designed for the operating frequency band of 10 GHz with help of CST Microwave Studio. Experimental results prove that the antenna with a HMSIW-to-GCPW (grounded coplanar waveguide) transition radiates linearly polarized electromagnetic wave and achieves the impedance bandwidth of 3.2 % for reflection coefficient less than -10 dB and gain of 6.01 dBi.

Precision indoor positioning system intended for fire fighters and members of rescue corps is currently developed at the University of Pardubice. Each team member is equipped with a transmitter, generating a unique UWB OFDM signal in periodic pulses. Around the surveyed building several receiver stations are deployed receiving the UWB signals and measuring their time of arrivals. Several TDOA methods are used namely 2D iterative, 3D iterative and the Ralph Bucher method to extract transmitters' positions. Unfortunately each received signal contains not only a direct signal but also its echoes due to reflections at walls. That is why the signals are at first correlated with the known transmitted signal to obtain a rough estimation of the pulses time positions and then a spectral analysis method (SAM) is applied to separate the direct signal from its echoes to get precise time delay of the direct signal (the pseudorange). In this paper a virtual experiment with a model of this system is described and position accuracy is analyzed.

This paper represents numerical and experimental studies of multimode waveguide Van-Atta array. It is shown that the use of multimode waveguides under certain conditions, allows to expand the angular sector of monostatic diagram of radar cross-section to the maximum possible value of ±450 relative to the normal to the plane of the array. Radiation pattern of the radiating elements in this case is equal to the radiation pattern of the Huygens element. Conducted research has shown good match between the numerical and experimental data.
