Radar Performance Modelling; A study of radar performance assessment accuracy to the resolution of atmospheric input data. Case studies of North Sea environments

Radars are vital systems for the navy as they are the primary systems for the detection, tracking and sometimes classification of friendly and hostile targets. It is therefore important that navies can assess the radar’s performance under the prevailing conditions. The atmosphere can significantly alter the radar’s performance from standard....

Virtual Sectorization in Future Mobile Networks: System-Level Assessment and Optimization in a Realistic LTE Network

Virtual Sectorization (ViS) is proposed as a solution to cope with the exponential growth of data traffic in mobile networks. Through the use of an Active Antenna System (AAS), two vertically separated beams (serving two distinct cells) are created within the original coverage area of a macro-cell. One of these cells, referred to as virtual cell...
