A novel design methodology for integration of optimized ultra-wideband elements with aperiodic array topologies

The recent development of many new ultra-wideband (UWB) array technologies has created a demand for antenna elements that can effectively operate over similar bandwidths. For example, the polyfractal [1] and RPS [2] topologies are capable of …

ADS interleaved arrays with reconfigurable polarization

Polarization-reconfigurable arrays play a fundamental role in radar systems in order to enhance their detection probability and cancel clutters, chaffs, and jammers. In order to reach polarization flexibility, the integration of actively controlled …

Camera placement using particle swarm optimization in visual surveillance applications

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to automatically plan video cameras positioning in indoor environments for surveillance applications. In order to ensure maximum coverage of the observed scene, we have implemented an ad-hoc tool based on …
