TV Repack & ATSC 3.0: SFN & Future proofing antennas
This document summarizes a presentation about planning for TV repack and futureproofing antennas for ATSC 3.0. It discusses the incentive auction timeline, how many stations will be directly impacted, the process for stations moving to new channels after the auction. It covers considerations for antennas on lower channels like needing larger/heavier antennas. It also discusses futureproofing antennas for ATSC 3.0 like adding more null fill or making antennas compatible with single frequency networks. Signal strength requirements for different types of services are presented. Network planning assumptions and an example for a station in Baltimore are provided.
IEEE BTS Symposium 2015 Repack Considerations by K.Pelletier
The one glaring contrast between the DTV conversion and the plan for the pending channel re-pack is that there will be no simulcast period. It is channel A today and channel B tomorrow. That changeover has to be carefully planned due to potentially serious consequences. Thus the choice of re-using existing, re-tuning existing or new RF systems, transmission line and antennas is very important. Some major variables that go into these choices are availability of space, tower loading, RF component bandwidth, transmission line bandwidth and antenna bandwidth. Availability of skilled people to perform re-tuning and tower work cannot be ignored. This presentation will outline some transition scenarios and relevant antenna and RF choices and their relevant time-lines.

A comb filter for use in tracking satellites
This document summarizes the design and evaluation of a 180 element comb filter developed for the detection and tracking of non-radiating satellites as part of the ARPA Satellite Fence program. The comb filter is designed to detect and measure short duration Doppler signals in the presence of noise by using a multiple pen analog recorder to record the outputs of individual filter elements with 10 Hz bandwidth spaced 20 Hz apart, covering a 3800 Hz frequency range. Testing showed the comb filter design was able to detect both simulated and actual satellite signals as required.
Codan buc presentation 6-1
This document provides an overview of Codan's L-Band Low Power Block Upconverter (LBUC) system. It describes the main components, including the low power BUC, LNB, and their functions in transmitting and receiving L-Band signals. It also lists and explains the BUC commands for configuring parameters, viewing statuses, and resetting the system.
Radio altimeter
This document discusses different types of aircraft altimeters. It describes three main types: pulse type radio altimeter, conventional FMCW altimeter, and constant difference frequency FMCW altimeter. It focuses on explaining the basic principle and operation of conventional FMCW altimeters. The conventional FMCW altimeter measures altitude by varying the carrier frequency linearly over time and determining the change in frequency during the round trip travel time to calculate altitude. The beat frequency detected is directly proportional to the aircraft's altitude.
GPS time transfer
Global Positioning System (GPS) Time transfer is a scheme where multiple sites share a precise reference time. Multiple techniques have been developed, often transferring reference clock synchronization from one point to another, often over long distances. Accuracy approaching one nanosecond worldwide is economically practical for many applications. Radio-based navigation systems are frequently used as time transfer systems.
In this Presentation, I am going to explain different types of Time Transfer with proper examples and explanation by diagrams
GPS Signals (1)
The document discusses the structure and characteristics of GPS signals. It covers topics like signal requirements, encoding methods, modulation techniques, and digital signal processing. Key points:
- GPS signals are transmitted from satellites on two carrier frequencies (L1 and L2) which are modulated by pseudo-random codes and navigation data.
- The signals use phase modulation to encode information in the carrier phase. Receivers use correlation and filtering techniques to recover the codes, data, and carrier signals.
- After the introduction of anti-spoofing in 1994, various methods like squaring, cross-correlation and Z-tracking were developed to still allow civilian use of the encrypted P-code signal.

Abhishek_Tiwari_Silvus_MILCOM_2014
1) Experiments were conducted using E-band dishes mounted on buildings 19.4 km apart in LA to test SISO and MIMO performance over long distances.
2) SISO measurements found path loss increased with humidity and decreased with temperature-dew point difference. Path loss ranged from 162-180dB. XPD was lower than expected at 21-23dB.
3) MIMO performance was tested at ranges below, at, and above the Rayleigh resolution limit. Independent data streams could be received beyond the theoretical limit, with average SNR of 13.15-15.4dB depending on the geometry.
4) Ongoing research seeks to better understand scintillation effects on links traversing the same
Capria no_video_ship_detection_with_dvbt_software_defined_passive_radar
This document summarizes research on using DVB-T signals for passive radar ship detection. DVB-T signals provide a large bandwidth and wide coverage suitable for passive radar. Preliminary experiments using a USRP software defined radio were able to detect ships up to 5 nautical miles away departing from a nearby harbor based on the Doppler frequency shifts measured. Future work aims to conduct experiments with cooperative targets and improve the system's range resolution and processing algorithms.
QUADRATURE AMPLITUDE MODULATION
QAM is a digital modulation technique that encodes data by varying both the amplitude and phase of carrier waves. It can carry higher data rates than schemes using just amplitude or phase. QAM is used widely in applications like digital cable TV, wireless networks, and video broadcasting. Higher order QAM uses more points in its constellation diagram, allowing more bits per symbol but making the signals more susceptible to noise.
Ofdm & qam
This document discusses quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). It provides background on digital modulation techniques before explaining the theories and mechanisms of QAM and OFDM. QAM uses two carriers shifted by 90 degrees that are modulated based on both amplitude and phase. OFDM is a multi-carrier modulation scheme where each carrier's amplitude is modulated and the subcarriers are separated by their orthogonal frequencies. The document outlines advantages such as high data rates and robustness to multipath fading, as well as disadvantages like sensitivity to frequency offsets. It concludes that OFDM performs better than single carriers for multipath channels when guard intervals are implemented properly.
Coherent and Non-coherent detection of ASK, FSK AND QASK
This document discusses different digital communication techniques including coherent and non-coherent detection methods for amplitude shift keying (ASK), frequency shift keying (FSK) and quadrature amplitude shift keying (QASK). Coherent detection requires a reference carrier wave and exploits phase information, while non-coherent detection does not require a reference wave. It then describes the receiver designs for coherent and non-coherent detection of ASK and FSK. For QASK, it outlines raising the input signal to the fourth power before bandpass filtering and frequency division to recover the transmitted bit sequence.

RF Basics, RF for Non-RF Engineers.pdf
This document provides an overview of radio frequency (RF) basics for non-RF engineers. It discusses key RF concepts like modulation, frequency spectrum allocation, RF system architectures, and RF components. The slides define common RF terms, describe different modulation techniques, examine transmitter and receiver designs, and explore ways to extend RF communication range such as through the use of external power amplifiers or high gain antennas.
Interference issue between 3550 3700 m hz to domsat earth-station
This document discusses potential interference between transmissions in the 3550-3700 MHz band and reception by C-band earth stations in the 3700-4200 MHz band. It notes that out-of-band emissions from transmitters in 3550-3700 MHz could interfere with receivers in the adjacent 3700-4200 MHz band. To prevent this, coordination and exclusion zones may be needed to separate transmitters and receivers by sufficient distance. The document calculates the required path loss and separation distance based on transmitter power and receiver interference specifications.
Bfdx bf 5110 high power output walky talky
The BFDX BF-5110 is a high power output walky talky radio. It operates between 136-174MHz and 400-470MHz frequency ranges with 16 channels that have a channel space of 25KHz or 12.5KHz. It has a transmitting power of 4-5W high and 1W low and can operate in temperatures from -20°C to +60°C. Additional features include monitoring, scanning, VOX, wide or narrow bandwidth selection, and high or low power output.
Receiver design
The document discusses receiver architecture and design requirements. It covers:
1. The receiver must provide high gain of 100dB while spread across RF, IF, and baseband stages to avoid instability. It must also be sensitive to weak signals down to -110dBm and reject strong adjacent channels.
2. A superheterodyne receiver is most common as it allows for sharper filters at IF to improve selectivity. Downconverting to IF also eases image filtering requirements.
3. Automatic gain control is needed to adjust the receiver gain over a wide range of input signal levels and fit them into the baseband processing range. It helps prevent compression from strong signals exceeding the 1dB compression point.
Automated Traffic Density Detection and Speed Monitoring
Designed and proposed an RF system to detect speed and traffic density with a RADAR unit in remote areas and to provide real-time monitoring of the traffic density data with a satellite link. Based on calculated parameters, required RF components from real vendors were identified. The system model is then simulated with the obtained parameters in AWR Virtual System Simulator and analyzed nominal and worst case cascaded gain, noise figure, P1dB and OIP3. The general deviation expected in these parameters was determined by performing yield analysis.

850 MHz & 900 MHz Co-Existence
This document discusses the interference problems that can occur between 850 MHz and 900 MHz networks when deployed in the same area. It focuses specifically on out-of-band emissions from 850 MHz base transceiver stations entering the 900 MHz uplink band. Through a link budget analysis using typical deployment assumptions, it determines the required attenuation of filters needed at various site-to-site distances and antenna isolation levels to reduce interference below sensitivity degradation thresholds. The analysis finds that filtering is necessary, as interference levels without it exceed permissible levels and could degrade coverage up to 6%. The exact attenuation required depends on several network parameters.

Conception antenne radio assistée par ordinateur
Dans nos applications de radio amateurs, il est parfois difficile, voire impossible, de prévoir le fonctionnement d’un aérien dans un environnement particulier. Pour éviter de passer du temps à sa mise au point ou d’avoir à utiliser des appareils de mesure chers etsophistiqués il peut être utile de tenter d’observer les propriétés d’une antenne à l’aide d’un logiciel de simulation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
