Summary form only given. Double-scatter phenomena were illustrated by examining the types of tracks which result from forming ISAR (inverse-synthetic aperture radar) images of targets with strong multiple scattering. One-dimensional images were illustrated, for which the tracks consist of varying range versus angle. Two-dimensional images were then illustrated, for which the tracks consist of varying range and cross-range versus angle. 2-D image tracks were simplified by introducing a relatively unusual target-based coordinate system. Normally, 2-D images are displayed with the downrange axis fixed vertically on the page. As the aspect angle changes, the target effectively rotates by the negative of the aspect angle. This gives the viewer a fixed-radar perspective-the radar is always at the bottom of the page, pointing up toward the rotating targets. An alternative imaging method gives the viewer a fixed-target perspective-the target remains stationary while the radar revolves around it.<>

A highly efficient rectenna array at 5.87 GHz, comprising 1000 dipole elements, has been designed, developed, and demonstrated for microwave powered applications. The rectenna dipole elements exhibit an RF to DC efficiency exceeding 80% with a uniform illuminated aperture. The rectification element consists of a custom packaged silicon Schottky diode quad bridge with a high reverse breakdown voltage. The novel mechanical structure of the low-cost rectenna consists of a dipole array substrate and a busbar substrate suitably assembled to ensure diode cooling through conduction and convection. Power densities of 100 mW/cm/sup 2/ could be handled to produce DC power well in excess of 450 W at a frequency of 5.86 GHz.<>

The authors present a model for the dual-feed nearly square patch antenna which accounts for the loading effects of the output port upon the antenna. Theory indicates that the required antenna dimensions depend on the load impedance seen by the antenna. It is also seen that the axial ratio bandwidth of the antenna can be varied by correct choice of load impedance. Typical results of antennas designed to operate at 2.450 GHz indicate a broadening of the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth from approximately 19 MHz with a load impedance of R/sub L/=1.0 M Omega to a value in excess of 130 MHz for R/sub L/=50 Omega .<>

A novel polarimetric wave propagation model was introduced by M. Lebherz et al. (IEEE Trans. on Antennas Prop., vol.40, no.2, 1992). The model requires a digital terrain data bank and considers multipath propagation. An application of this model to polarimetric investigations of terrestrial radio links in the VHF/UHF frequency range is presented. Based on the UTD and physical optics (PO), an approach is described for calculating the propagation effects in natural 3D terrain, given by topological and morphological data. The influence of real terrain on the polarimetric propagation properties is considered, and typical polarization signatures of multipath propagation are presented. Based on the derived polarimetric signatures, investigations of optimum polarization states for minimum polarization loss and clutter suppression can be performed.<>

Summary form only given. Planar antennas are photoconductively switched to generate and coherently detect ultrawideband (UWB), transient radiation. This radiation has a bandwidth from 5 to 70 GHz. The antennas are switched photoconductively using a 76-MHz train of 5-ps-duration, 527-nm-wavelength optical pulses generated from a frequency-doubled pulse-compressed mode-locked Nd-YLF laser. The UWB microwave and millimeter-wave radiation generated by these antennas is used to perform UWB transient scattering measurements from resonant targets. Prototype UWB time-domain scattering measurements have been performed using a unique table-top scattering facility. The experimental results are compared with theory. Particular attention is given to the late-time response of targets using such a system.<>

The authors study magnetostatic wave propagation (MSW) in multilayered magnetic structure (YIG/GGG/YIG/GGG), in which the static magnetizations in the two magnetic layers are not colinear. It is assumed that there exists an arbitrary angle alpha between the two magnetizations for a given applied DC field. Therefore, the effect of the relative orientation between the two magnetizations in two different YIG layers on the dispersion and time delay can be explored. The misalignment alpha is determined by the applied DC field, the static magnetizations, and the uniaxial anisotropy fields. The general dispersion relation is strongly affected by alpha . It is this misalignment that leads to surface mode propagation in one layer and forward volume mode propagation in the other layer. One may control the applied DC field to vary alpha to obtain the desired nondispersive time delay for microwave signal processing.<>

It is shown that, as an alternative to using cable randomization, decorrelation can be obtained by randomizing the element phase settings at one half of the LSB value. As demonstrated in computer simulations for both methods, this randomization is not only more accurate than cable randomization; it can also be obtained cost-free in most modern phased arrays. To decorrelate the quantization error using DMC (distributed modular controller) randomization, a random number stored in a DMC register is added to DMC's phase shift calculation. The maximum value of this random number is one-half of the phase shifter LSB. The lower bound for the LSB of this random number is equal to the LSB of the DMC. Therefore, the number of bits in this random number is equal to or less than the difference between the DMC word length and the number of bits in the phase shifter. The choice of randomization bit length is affected by tradeoffs involving DMC cost and throughput and array pointing accuracy. Some of these tradeoffs are summarized for a 16-b DMC.<>

The power dividing characteristics have been analyzed by Galerkin's method and confirmed experimentally. A -6 dB model pi -junction for the 4 GHz band was designed and fabricated. The analysis accurately predicts the power difference between two output waveguides and the reflection which is below -30 dB over a 5.4% bandwidth.<>

The results obtained with this array of terminals are useful in studying the structure of small-scale turbulence and also in determining optimal diversity configurations. The effects of spatial diversity are studied, through a cross-correlation analysis. The median value of the correlation coefficient is plotted as a function of vertical spacing and the total spacing between the beams of each pair of terminals. As the spacing (total or vertical) increases, the median cross-correlation coefficient decreases fairly rapidly, and then reaches a region of slower variations where the median correlation is nearly constant, with values that may be negative. As the spacing is further increased the median correlation converges to 0.<>
