Abstract: A method for determining an operational geographical zone relative to a sensor may include a step of simulating the position of said sensor; a step of determining a first zone of the region of interest; and a step of determining a second zone of the region of interest. The region of interest of the first zone may be constituted by points at each of which said object at that point traveling at a speed greater than or equal to said speed VT and in a given direction, would be seen by the sensor as having a radial speed greater than a threshold speed defined for that point. The operational geographical zone. may be defined by taking account of the intersection of the first zone and of a coverage zone of the sensor.

Abstract: A multi-band software defined antenna array tile including a set of pairs of frequency converters associated with a respective coupled dipole array antenna element and comprising a principal polarization converter for applying an oscillating signal to a first partial beam-formed data stream to generate an oscillating partial beam-formed data stream, where the oscillating signal is associated with an oscillating signal frequency received from a memory operatively connected to a system controller. The principal polarization converter applies a three-stage halfband filter to the first oscillating partial beam-formed data stream to generate a filtered partial beam-formed data stream, applies time delay to the filtered partial beam-formed data stream to generate a first partial beam and transmits a partial beam along with other partial beams to a digital software system interface through a data transport bus.

Abstract: A communication system allows for clock synchronization between a transmitter and a receiver when switching from transmission of an analog signal to transmission of a digital signal. The system uses clock synchronization during transmission of the digital signal, but the clock synchronization may be lost when switching to transmission of an analog signal. A digital clock synchronization is embedded in the analog signal so that the clock synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver may be reestablished upon switching to a digital signal without any delay in transmission of the digital signal.

The next clock is selected from the plurality of clock signals based on a selected fractional phase shift amount indicated by a sigma-delta modulator.

Abstract: An EVM measurement value is appropriately determined while CPE/ICI correction is taken into account. In a measurement apparatus (300), an EVM measurer (305) measures a modulation quality of a signal transmitted from a transmission apparatus. An EVM determiner (306) determines whether or not the measurement value of the modulation quality is equal to or less than a first requirement value, in a case where correction relating to a phase noise of the transmission apparatus is necessary in a reception apparatus. The first requirement value herein is higher than a second requirement value used in the determination of the measurement value in a case where the correction relating to the phase noise of the transmission apparatus is unnecessary in the reception apparatus.
