Abstract: A single elliptical loaded strip antipodal Vivaldi antenna (SELS-AVA) is formed on a substrate. The SELS-AVA includes a first elliptical flare and a second elliptical flare. A first microstrip feedline is connected to the first elliptical flare and a second microstrip is connected to the second elliptical flare. A base structure is connected to a second end of the second microstrip feedline. The SELS-AVA includes a first elliptical conducting strip connected to the first elliptical flare and a second elliptical conducting strip connected to the second elliptical flare. The second elliptical conducting strip is a mirror image of the first elliptical conducting strip. The SELS-AVA further includes a feed port having a positive terminal and a negative terminal. The SELS-AVA is configured to radiate at a lower cut-off frequency ?L of about 0.69 GHz when an electrical signal is applied to the feed port.

Abstract: A system and method model a time series from missing data by imputing missing values, denoising measured but noisy values, and forecasting future values of a single time series. A time series of potentially noisy, partially-measured values of a physical process is represented as a non-overlapping matrix. For several classes of common model functions, it can be proved that the resulting matrix has a low rank or approximately low rank, allowing a matrix estimation technique, for example singular value thresholding, to be efficiently applied. Applying such a technique produces a mean matrix that estimates latent values, of the physical process at times or intervals corresponding to measurements, with less error than previously known methods. These latent values have been denoised (if noisy) and imputed (if missing). Linear regression of the estimated latent values permits forecasting with an error that decreases as more measurements are made.
