    Abstract: Characterizing a radiation pattern of an antenna, accurately, is needed to improve the determination of an angle arrival of a radar signal received by the antenna. Accordingly, an optimized monotonic fitting approach with corresponding method and system are provided. The approach represents an approximation of the radiation pattern as a window map having a plurality of windows. The approach finds an optimized monotonic fit of the radiation pattern by adjusting the window map, one window at a time, and testing the resulting new approximations. The approach tests whether a new approximation is a better fit then the other approximations, is monotonic, and has a minimum slope. The approach enforces monotonicity and a minimum slope for ambiguity resolution. The approach further includes calculating an angle arrival of the radar signal based on the optimized monotonic fit.

    Abstract: In order to improve the reliability and the accuracy of a position-finding method such as the GPS method, the quality of a radio link which is used for the position-finding method is determined by estimating a parameter, in particular the Rice factor of the amplitude distribution density, which is characteristic of the ratio of the strength of a signal transmitted via a line-of-sight path, with respect to the strength of the signals transmitted via non-line-of-sight paths.

In the invention, the synthetic material end includes a composite insert that is placed between the inner insulator and the outer insulating sleeve of the cable, the insert generally being in the form of a sheath surrounding the inner insulator over a partially-stripped portion of the cable, and being made up of a resistive portion of high resistivity, and of a semi-conductive portion of lower resistivity, the interface between said resistive and semi-conductive portions forming a deflector, the end of the resistive portion that is remote from the deflector being electrically connected to the central conductor of the cable, and the end of the semi-conductive portion that is remote from the deflector being electrically connected to the outer semi-conductor of the cable. Application to making connections to high-voltage electric cables.

    Abstract: An interference-aided signal acquisition and tracking system with temporal beam forming for a rotating vehicle enhances signal to noise ratio using interference or jamming signals. An antenna receives interference signals and desired navigation signals. A RF processing function connected to the antenna processes the received interference signals and the desired navigation signals into IF signals. An A/D converter connected to the RF processing function digitizes the interference signals and desired navigation signals and provides a digitized IF signal. A tracking filter tracks amplitude variations of the interference signals and provides a rotation angle estimate signal of the rotating vehicle. A signal modulation function connected to the tracking filter and the A/D converter varies gain of the IF signal to enhance the signal to noise ratio.

    Abstract: Provided herein is a radio wave receiving apparatus including a signal processing circuit comprising: a means for the Fourier transform in respect of azimuth of an electric field signal outputted from an antenna receiving circuit; a means for the Fourier transform in respect of azimuth of the antenna pattern of an antenna; a means for dividing the Fourier transform signal derived from the electric field signal by the antenna pattern Fourier transform signal; a low-pass filter for subjecting the divided signal to low-pass filtering; a means for extracting exponential function components of the output signal of the low-pass filter; a means for extending the band of the output signal of the low-pass filter beyond the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter by using the exponential function components; and a means for subjecting the band-extended signal to Fourier inverse transform in respect of azimuth, the signal after the Fourier inverse transform being outputted as a final antenna output. The antenna resolution thereof is improved by thus using a transfer function in the azimuthal frequency domain resulting from the Fourier transform in respect of azimuth of the antenna pattern.

    Abstract: A CMA-based antenna system is disclosed which shows an improved receiving performance by reducing phase differences in the received signals which have been weighted. The CMA-based antenna system comprises a plurality of antenna, weight circuits, an adder, an error detector and a synthesis controller. The synthesis controller controls the weight circuits so as not only to make the adder output at a preset level but also to cause any differences among the weight circuit outputs not to increase. In order to cope with an error of symbol synchronization and a delayed wave, the CMA-based antenna system may further have a kind of equalizer inserted before the weight circuit in each antenna circuit.
