We present the design, fabrication and measured performance of a hierarchical sinuous-antenna phased array coupled to transition-edge-sensor (TES) bolometers for measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). To efficiently cover a…

Phased arrays, commonly used in IEEE 802.11ad and 5G radios, are capable of focusing radio frequency signals in a specific direction or a spatial region. Beamforming achieves such directional or spatial concentration of signals and enables…

The past decade has seen the rise of various radio astronomy arrays, particularly for low-frequency observations below 100MHz. These developments have been primarily driven by interesting and fundamental scientific questions, such as…

Radio interferometers are phased arrays producing high-resolution images from the covariance matrix of measurements. Calibration of such instruments is necessary and is a critical task. This is how the estimation of instrumental errors is…

This paper studies analog beamforming in active sensing applications, such as millimeter-wave radar or ultrasound imaging. Analog beamforming architectures employ a single RF-IF chain connected to all array elements via inexpensive phase…

Phase unwrapping is the process of recovering a continuous phase signal from an original signal wrapped in the ($-\pi$,$\pi$] interval. It is a critical step of coherent signal processing, with applications such as synthetic aperture radar,…

A robust measurement of the clustering amplitude of the sub-mm population of starburst galaxies requires large-area surveys (>> 1 deg^2). The largest-format arrays subtend only 10 arcmin^2 on the sky and hence scan-mapping is a necessary…

Next generation radio telescopes will be much larger, more sensitive, have much larger observation bandwidth and will be capable of pointing multiple beams simultaneously. Obtaining the sensitivity, resolution and dynamic range supported by…

We consider the multitasking associative network in the low-storage limit and we study its phase diagram with respect to the noise level $T$ and the degree $d$ of dilution in pattern entries. We find that the system is characterized by a…

The problem of phase retrieval is a classic one in optics and arises when one is interested in recovering an unknown signal from the magnitude (intensity) of its Fourier transform. While there have existed quite a few approaches to phase…

A new methodology for the synthesis of wide-angle scanning arrays is proposed. It is based on the formulation of the array design problem as a multi-objective one where, for each scan angle, both the radiated power density in the scan…

Phase unwrapping is a key problem in many coherent imaging systems, such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry. A general formulation for redundant integration of finite differences for phase unwrapping (Costantini et al., 2010)…

This paper proposes a polyline shaped array based system scheme, associated with mechanical scanning along the perpendicular direction of the array, for near-field millimeter-wave (MMW) imaging. Each section of the polyline is a chord of a…

Interferometric methods, renowned for their reliability and precision, play a vital role in phase imaging. Interferometry typically requires high coherence and stability between the measured and the reference beam. The presence of rapid…

Estimating the directions of arrival (DOAs) of multiple sources from a single snapshot obtained by a coherent antenna array is a well-known problem, which can be addressed by sparse signal reconstruction methods, where the DOAs are…

We propose a novel formulation for phase synchronization -- the statistical problem of jointly estimating alignment angles from noisy pairwise comparisons -- as a nonconvex optimization problem that enforces consistency among the pairwise…

This paper develops new theory and algorithms to recover signals that are approximately sparse in some general dictionary (i.e., a basis, frame, or over-/incomplete matrix) but corrupted by a combination of interference having a sparse…

Event cameras capture sparse, asynchronous brightness changes which offer high temporal resolution, high dynamic range, low power consumption, and sparse data output. These advantages make them ideal for Space Situational Awareness,…
