چکیده
N this project, new architectures in the field of imaging radiometry are developed. A key component in such radiometers is the receiver front-end. The project concentrates on the design of innovative receiver structures that are based on the so-called self-oscillating mixing technique. Self-oscillating mixers are an excellent choice for low-cost modern receiver architectures, because both the oscillating source and the mixer are combined in one single device. By combining many receivers to an array, one can design an imaging radiometer. It finds application in biomedical imaging, automotive radar, aeronautical navigation, surface sensing, and many more fields. This project is planned to be developed in the region of millimetre-waves, especially at 94 GHz, which makes the design very challenging due to the high frequency. I

Elimination of speckle and target orientation requirements in millimeter-wave active imaging by modulated multimode mixing illumination.
Active imaging can provide significantly larger signal margins in the millimeter-wave spectral region than passive imaging, especially indoors-an important application for which there is no cold sky illumination. However, coherent effects, such as speckle, negate much of this advantage by destroying image clarity and target recognition. Moreover, active imaging demonstrations often use strategi...

متن کاملAdvanced MMIC Receiver for 94-GHz Band Passive Millimeter-Wave Imager
In this paper, we present the development of an advanced MMIC receiver for a 94-GHz band passive millimeter-wave (PMMW) imager. Our configuration is based on a Dicke receiver in order to reduce fluctuations in the detected voltage. By introducing an electronic switch in the MMIC, we achieved a high resolution millimeter-wave image in a shorter image collection time compared to that with a conve...
متن کاملBit Swapping Linear Feedback Shift Register For Low Power Application Using 130nm Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Technology (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Bit swapping linear feedback shift register (BS-LFSR) is employed in a conventional linear feedback shirt register (LFSR) to reduce its power dissipation and enhance its performance. In this paper, an enhanced BS-LFSR for low power application is proposed. To achieve low power dissipation, the proposed BS-LFSR introduced the stacking technique to reduce leakage current. In addition, three diffe...
