In this paper, a set of sequences is developed with minimized mean sidelobe level (MSL). The problem formulated for cognitive radars using the l 1 -norm, where target cognition determines which sidelobes should be suppressed. radar configuration requires fast waveform regeneration in each cycle....

The use of a generalized sidelobe canceler (GSC) can significantly improve the lateral resolution of medical ultrasound systems, but the contrast improvement isn't satisfactory. Thus a new Eigenspace-based generalized sidelobe canceler (EBGSC) approach is proposed for medical ultrasound imaging, which can improve both the lateral resolution and contrast of the system. The weight vector of the E...

A general framework for adaptive and non-adaptive spacetime beampattern synthesis using quadratic beampattern constraints with minimum mean-square error (MMSE) and linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) beamforming is presented. Main beam and sidelobe pattern control is achieved by imposing a set of inequality constraints on the weighted mean-square error between the adaptive pattern and ...

Low sidelobe slotted waveguide antenna is developed in the millimeter-wave band. Millimeter-wave technologies are expected to apply to automotive radars and high-bit-rate mobile communication systems because high gain and narrow beam-width is possible even though the physical size of the antenna aperture is small. Waveguide antenna is advantageous for high gain applications since the feeding lo...

In this work, a wideband low-sidelobe slot array antenna for wireless communication system at E-band is presented. The slots are excited by parallel feeding network where the Taylor distribution applied. Two types of unequal power divider with compact structures designed various output ratios to fit limited space. One integrated vertically inside 2 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1...

Dolph-Chebychev arrays are known to exhibit the best compromise between sidelobe level and directivity. However, they place a constraint on the null locations. Any attempt to impose nulls or get them deeper will impact the directivity/sidelobe level trade-off. In this work, null placement in Dolph-Chebychev arrays through element position perturbation is carried out based on Taguchi method whil...

OBJECTIVE The generation of mature cell types during pancreatic development depends on the expression of many regulatory and signaling proteins. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the transcriptional regulator Islet-1 (Isl-1), whose expression is first detected in the mesenchyme and epithelium of the developing pancreas and is later restricted to mature islet cells, is involved in the...
