Abstract. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an efficient solution for road traffic monitoring due to its high spatial resolution and independence from daylight and weather conditions. In this sense, a number of ground moving target indication (GMTI) algorithms have been developed, whereas their robustness is often achieved with high costs, increased hardware complexity and high computational burden. This paper presents a fast GMTI processor that blends the powerful post-Doppler space-time adaptive processing (PD STAP) with an a priori known road map and digital elevation model (DEM). The algorithm presents great potential for real-time processing, decreased hardware complexity and low costs compared to state-of-the-art systems. It is tested using real 4-channel X-band radar data acquired with the DLR's airborne F-SAR.

Abstract. This paper exhibits the extension of the discrete mode matching (DMM) method to analyze conformal structures with anisotropy. It represents a simple formalism as a basis to analyze multilayered structures with quasi-planar anisotropic dielectric layers. The dyadic Green's function is then calculated using a full-wave equivalent circuit (FWEC) of the structure, where each layer is represented with the hybrid block consisting of the tangential field components. The application is demonstrated by computing propagation constants for partially filled quasi-planar waveguides and microstrip lines with isotropic, uniaxial and biaxial anisotropic dielectrics.

Abstract. In this paper, we describe measurement results of the signal-in-space of very high frequency (VHF) omnidirectional range (VOR) facilities. In aviation VOR are used to display the current course of the aircraft in the cockpit. To understand the influence of wind turbines (WT) on the signal integrity of terrestrial navigation and radar signals, the signal content and its changes, respectively, must be investigated. So far, only numerical simulations have been carried out on the frequency-modulation (FM) part of the Doppler-VOR (DVOR) signal to estimate the influence of WT on DVOR. Up to now, the amplitude-modulated (AM) part of the DVOR was not assessed at all. In 2016, we presented an unmanned aerial system (UAS) as a carrier for state-of-the-art radio-frequency (RF) measurement instrumentation (Schrader et al., 2016a, c; Bredemeyer et al., 2016), to measure and to record the true signal-in-space (both FM and AM signal) during the flight. The signal-in-space (which refers to time-resolved signal content and field strength, respectively) is measured and sampled without loss of information and, furthermore, synchronously stored with time stamp and with precise position in space, where the measurements were taken.
摘要本文描述了甚高频(VHF)全向距离(VOR)设施的空间信号测量结果。在航空中,VOR是用来在驾驶舱中显示飞机当前的航向。为了了解风力发电机组对地面导航信号和雷达信号完整性的影响,必须分别研究信号内容及其变化。到目前为止,仅对多普勒- vor (DVOR)信号的调频部分进行了数值模拟,以估计WTon DVOR的影响。到目前为止,对DVOR的调幅部分还没有进行评估。2016年,我们提出了一种无人机系统(UAS)作为最先进的射频(RF)测量仪器的载体(Schrader等人,2016a, c;Bredemeyer et al., 2016),测量和记录飞行过程中的真实空间信号(调频和调幅信号)。空间信号(分别指时间分辨信号内容和场强)在不丢失信息的情况下进行测量和采样,并且与时间戳和测量地点在空间中的精确位置同步存储。

Abstract. An intercomparison in the framework of the German Calibration Service (Deutscher Kalibrierdienst – DKD) was carried out. Two different travelling standards were used to measure the 10 % to 90 % rise time of a pulse generator and the 10 % to 90 % rise time, −3 dB bandwidth and attenuation at 500 MHz of an oscilloscope. Fourteen participants performed the measurements from September 2015 until May 2016.

Abstract. We analyze tidal (diurnal, semidiurnal, terdiurnal, quarterdiurnal) phases and related wind shear in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere as observed by meteor radar over Collm (51.3∘ N, 13.0∘ E). The wind shear phases are compared with those of sporadic E (Es) occurrence rates, which were derived from GPS radio occultation signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) profiles measured by the COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 satellites. At middle latitudes Es are mainly produced by wind shear, which, in the presence of a horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field, leads to ion convergence in the region where the wind shear is negative. Consequently, we find good correspondence between radar derived wind shear and Es phases for the semidiurnal, terdiurnal, and quarterdiurnal tidal components. The diurnal tidal wind shear, however, does not correspond to the Es diurnal signal.

Abstract. Radio navigation aids, like the Doppler Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Radio Range (DVOR), provide their navigation service by specific radiation of electromagnetic waves depending on the direction in space and according to their specific antenna characteristics. Therefore, these navigation aids are reliant on undisturbed wave propagation in their operation range. Certainly, a propagation disturbance can be implicated by the presence of scattering objects like large buildings or wind turbines (WT) in the surrounding area of the DVOR, which potentially leads to deviations of the transmitted navigation content. In order to comply with the specified flight safety limits, especially respecting WTs, there is a necessity to predict the prospective bearing error due to installations not only of individual WTs but also of additional ones in a present wind farm or repowering projects. Accordingly, this paper is aimed at ascertaining the bearing deviations' dependency on the quantity of WTs in a realistic wind farm close to a DVOR, calculated in space areas of practical relevance.

Abstract. Phase height measurements of low frequency radio waves are used to study the long-term variability of the mesosphere over Europe. Phase height measurements use a characteristic pattern in field strength registration of radio waves interpreted as phase relations between sky wave and surface wave to obtain the apparent height of the reflection point, the Standard Phase Height (SPH). Based on this SPH-method a homogenized daily series was generated since 1959 at Kühlungsborn. Improvements of the measuring method show that the signal is significantly influenced by lower atmospheric layers. Mesospheric reflection is not the exclusive source of the measured behavior. Tropospheric influence can not be neglected. Taking this into account one has to conclude that the strong coherency of the SPH data to mesospheric heights is not as significant as previously assumed.

Abstract. Here, we describe a technique to define the Singularity Expansion Method (SEM) poles for short-circuited thin-wire structures developed using the Method of Modal Parameters (MoMP). The MoMP method consists of in the expansion of the system of mixed-potential integral equations (MPIE) into the Fourier series, including the kernels containing Green's function. Corresponding equations for Fourier modes contain infinite matrices of p.u.l. inductance and capacitance, and the solution for current can be obtained using the infinity matrix of p.u.l. impedance. The SEM poles are given by the zeros of the determinant of this matrix. For the case of the symmetrical circular loop, this equation transforms to one well-know from the literature. Numerical investigation of solutions for the poles of the first layer has shown good agreement with previously obtained analytical and numerical results for different wire configurations.

Abstract. The internally stored electric energy (Q-energy) of a disk monopole antenna increases as compared to a monopole antenna without a top disk. Recently it was shown that the Q-energy can be significantly reduced and the bandwidth increased by shielding the disk monopole antenna using a thin magnetic material. In the present paper we consider the same structure to explain another method to increase the bandwidth by using a shield made of dispersive magnetic material. We apply the Kramers-Kronig transforms to derive physically correct real and imaginary parts of the dispersive magnetic material. We do not aim at a reduction of the internal energy but at a compensation of the electric by a magnetic stored energy for a wide frequency range. Disk monopole antennas with shells consisting of such dispersive permeability are finally numerically evaluated by means of a commercial frequency-domain field simulator.

Abstract. A fundamental for an automated driving car is the awareness of all its surrounding road participants. Current approach to gather this awareness is to sense the environment by on-board sensors. In the future, Vehicle-to-X (V2X) might be able to improve the awareness due to V2X's communication range superiority compared to the on-board sensors' range. Due to a limited amount of communication partners sharing their own ego states, current research focuses particularly on cooperative perception. This means sharing objects perceived by local on-board sensors of different partners via V2X. Data collections using vehicles, driving on real roads, is challenging, since there is no market introduction of cooperative perception yet. Using test cars, equipped with the required sensors are rather expensive and do not necessarily provide results representing the true potential of cooperative perception. Particularly, its potential is highly dependent on the market penetration rate and the amount of vehicles within certain vicinity. Therefore, we consider to create synthetic data for cooperative perception by a simulation tool. After reviewing suitable simulation tools, we present an extension of Artery and its counterpart SUMO by modelling realistic vehicle dynamics and probabilistic sensor models. The generated data can be used as input for cooperative perception.
