      Spectroscopy in the wavelength range from 2 to 11 μm (900 to 5000 cm−1) implies a multitude of applications in fundamental physics, chemistry, as well as environmental and life sciences. The related vibrational transitions, ...

    • Multiband Passive Bistatic Radar Coherent Range and Doppler-Walk Compensation 

      Olsen, Karl Erik; Christiansen, Jonas Myhre (2015)
      The work simulates the performance of a coherent Passive Bistatic Radar multiband processing algorithm. The aim of the work is to present improved range resolution by coherently combine non-adjacent DVB-T channels, while ...

    • Multibeam Echosounder With Orthogonal Waveforms: Feasibility and Potential Benefits 

      Blachet, Antoine; Austeng, Andreas; Aparicio, Joaquin; Hunter, Alan Joseph; Hansen, Roy Edgar (2021-04-15)
      Modern multibeam echosounders (MBE) employ frequency-division techniques (FDT) to ensonify multiple sectors within the same ping cycle. This leads to improved performance in coverage rate, and yaw and pitch stabilization. ...
