Emerging 5G mmWave networks--with electronic beamforming and beamsteering and signal bandwidths of hundreds of MHz--present opportunities for 3-D sensing applications that leverage that infrastructure. A new signal processing pipeline can, 1) accurately extract the Time of Flight of reflected OFDM signals, and 2) enhance range resolution by coherently aggregating the reflection information from separate frequency bands.

Mini-Circuits has a long history of space-level screening and testing, from some of the earliest government space missions all the way through to modern independent enterprises. Most Mini-Circuits catalog and custom components can be upscreened in house for Mil Standard or equivalent qualification in as little as 90 days! Visit the space upscreening section of Minicircuits.com to see how Mini-Circuits can help you reduce costs and accelerate your project timeline.

| THz Spectroscopy of Thermal Decomposition A new high-resolution THz spectroscopy system has been developed to study the vapors of energy-producing materials during thermal decomposition, based on the phase-shift of 115-178 GHz radiation. The study illuminated decomposition mechanisms for ammonium nitrate, pentaerythritetetranitrate, octogen, and triaminotrinitrobenzene...and identified other substances that appear during thermolysis.

| Classical v Chipless RFID Read Range A new study compared the read ranges of classical radio frequency identification (RFID) and chipless RFID in free-space and real environments (REs). Though semipassive tag performance came close to matching the free-space model, the read range for chipless tags could not be predicted by the radar equation. A concept of residual environment is shown to be the key parameter to evaluate the read range of a chipless RFID system.

| Beating the Beat Pattern in 2-Sided mmWave Imaging Two-sided reflection mmWave techniques can help image objects that mix opaque and translucent elements (such as packaged goods in commerce). Attempts to coherently combine the two images produces wavelength-dependent beat patterns. A new approach successfully mitigates this problem, achieving δx = 17.07 mm, δy = 4.62 mm, and δz = 7.26 mm, with an accuracy of 0.8 mm in the y- and z-directions.

| Webinar: System Point-Spread Functions for Imaging Log in on 22 June as Prof. Natalia K. Nikolova (McMaster University) delves into real-time microwave/millimeter-wave imaging, which allows us to “see” inside optically opaque objects. Through the concept of the system point-spread function, she will show how to calibrate an imaging system so that the images show not only location and shape, but also suggest their dielectric properties.

| Harmonic-Injection Class-EM/Fn Power Amp A new Class-EM/Fn power amplifier reduces the high peak switch voltage factor of the classical Class-EM PA by 27.3%. The new topology fulfills not only zero voltage switching (ZVS) and zero voltage derivative switching (ZVDS) conditions as in the Class-E PA but also the zero-current switching (ZCS) and zero-current derivative switching (ZCDS) conditions of the Class-E⁻¹ PA.

| Direct- Detection Receiver for Tropospheric Water A novel 670-GHz integrated direct-detection receiver using 25-nm InP HEMT technology, developed for the Tropospheric Water and Cloud Ice project, is the first demonstration of an integrated direct detection radiometer architecture at these frequencies. The receiver exhibits a noise figure of 11.4 dB with a total DC power consumption of 0.25 W. Results show that transistor-based direct-detection receivers are viable for submillimeter wave applications, with low SWaP and no compromise in performance.
