At the recent IEEE Antennas and Propagation Symposium (APS), Mike Varner presented work by Alhassoun, Varner, and Durgin on the use of perfect pulses to suppress specular reflections on a highly reflective surface. A classic use of this problem is the reduction of radar signatures of aircraft hangers and other buildings near runways. The flat faces of these structures can often produce large radar returns/multipath that distort ranging by either the air traffic control tower or a descending plane. This presentation provides a unique use of the perfect pulse theory invented here at Georgia Tech to build a solution.
Stephen Dumas Passes PhD Proposal
Congratulations to Stephen Dumas who successfully passed his PhD proposal examination on Monday, 27 August 2018. Stephen is pursuing a PhD in satellite-to-satellite localization in space, which has numerous applications in space debris tracking, jammer identification, and general satellite monitoring. Well done, Stephen!
Welcome Emily and Jake!
A hearty welcome to our two newest GTPG members, Emily Backer and Jacob Smith, who are working on wireless power transfer projects. Both researchers are working on their MS and are veterans of the Opportunity Research Scholars (ORS) program.
Corless MS Thesis on Microwave Backscatter Frequency Hopping Now Available
The MS thesis document by Robert Corless on the topic of microwave frequency-hopping for backscatter is now available for download on the Georgia Tech server:
MS Thesis: Part 15 Compliant Frequency Hopping Backscatter Communication at 5.8 GHz
In this work, the author discusses the unique challenges and opportunities of implementing a frequency-hopping scheme for backscatter communications. The author even designs and implements a frequency-hopping algorithm on the GTPG’s custom frequency hopping board, consisting of a programmable microcontrollers and voltage-controlled oscillator + phase locked loop chips.
