Diseño de redes de conformación de haz para arreglos circulares de antena basadas en estructuras periódicas de radiación coherente

Design of beamforming networks for circular antenna arrays based on periodic coherent radiation structures

Itzel Mota Castañeda (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

La tesis se enfoca en abordar los desafíos en sistemas de comunicación inalámbrica, con el objetivo principal de diseñar redes de conformación de haz eficiente para un arreglo circular de antenas. Esta red debe reducir la dependencia de cambiadores de fase o dispositivos activos y cumplir con patrones de radiación específicos. Para lograr esto, se propone una solución que combina una red de excitación cofasal y una red CORPS cilíndrica. La red de alimentación cofasal, optimizada mediante algoritmos genéticos, demuestra la capacidad de generar un haz de radiación que puede ser escaneado en todo el plano azimutal. Esto se logra aprovechando las propiedades de rotación y simetría del arreglo circular. Además, se alcanza un rendimiento destacado en la supresión de lóbulos laterales, con una reducción significativa de -16 dB en comparación con el caso sin optimizar. Esta mejora en la calidad del haz de radiación es crucial para la transmisión confiable de señales en sistemas de comunicación. La red CORPS cilíndrica presentada en la investigación simplifica la red de alimentación en un 50%. Permite generar una cantidad distribuida de haces en todo el plano azimutal, y la dirección de escaneo de cada haz se ajusta según el número de puertos de entrada. Cada puerto de entrada controla un haz de radiación, lo que simplifica la complejidad del sistema y permite un mayor control sobre los lóbulos laterales. A medida que se aumenta el número de elementos y puertos de entrada en el arreglo, se mejora aún más el rendimiento en la supresión de lóbulos laterales. Esto ofrece la flexibilidad de ajustar el nivel de lóbulos laterales según los requisitos específicos de diseño. La investigación ha demostrado que la combinación de una red de alimentación cofasal optimizada y una red CORPS cilíndrica ofrecen una solución efectiva para la conformación de haz en arreglos circulares de antenas. Esta solución reduce significativamente la dependencia de dispositivos activos, mejora la calidad de la señal y simplifica la operación del sistema. Estos resultados abren oportunidades para futuras investigaciones y prometen mejoras en la industria de las comunicaciones inalámbricas.

This work is focused on the challenges in wireless communication systems, with the main objective of designing efficient beamforming networks for a circular antenna array. This network must reduce the reliance on phase shifters or active devices and meet specific radiation patterns. To achieve this, we propose two possible solutions: a cophasal excitation network and a cylindrical CORPS network. The cophasal feed network, optimized by genetic algorithms, generates a radiation beam that can be scanned in the whole azimuth plane. It is possible by taking advantage of the rotation and symmetry properties of the circular array. Furthermore, we achieve an outstanding performance in sidelobe suppression, with a significant reduction of -16 dB compared to the unoptimized case. This improvement in the quality of the radiation beam is crucial for the reliable transmission of signals in communication systems. The cylindrical CORPS network (presented in this research) simplifies the power network by 50%. It allows the entire azimuth plane to generate a distributed number of beams and adjust the scanning direction of each beam in according to the number of input ports. Each input port controls one radiation beam, simplifying the complexity of the system and allowing greater control over the side lobes. As the number of elements and input ports increases, sidelobe suppression performance is further improved. This proposal offers the flexibility to adjust the level of side lobes based on specific design requirements. Research has shown that the optimization of a cophasal feeder network and a cylindrical CORPS network offers an effective solution for beamforming in circular antenna arrays. This solution significantly reduces dependency on active devices, improves signal quality, and simplifies system operation. These results open up opportunities for future research and promise improvements in the wireless communications industry.

Addressing agricultural labour issues is key to biodiversity-smart farming

Thomas Daum Frédéric Baudron Matin Qaim Ingo Grass (2023, [Artículo])

There is an urgent need for agricultural development strategies that reconcile agricultural production and biodiversity conservation. This is especially true in the Global South where population growth is rapid and much of the world's remaining biodiversity is located. Combining conceptual thoughts with empirical insights from case studies in Indonesia and Ethiopia, we argue that such strategies will have to pay more attention to agricultural labour dynamics. Farmers have a strong motivation to reduce the heavy toil associated with farming by adopting technologies that save labour but can negatively affect biodiversity. Labour constraints can also prevent farmers from adopting technologies that improve biodiversity but increase labour intensity. Without explicitly accounting for labour issues, conservation efforts can hardly be successful. We hence highlight the need for biodiversity-smart agriculture, that is farming practices or systems that reconcile biodiversity with land and labour productivity. Our empirical insights suggest that technological and institutional options to reconcile farmers' socio-economic goals and biodiversity conservation exist but that more needs to be done to implement such options at scale.
