Unfortunately, the path loss increases as a function of frequency, requiring phased arrays to compensate. However, the antenna elements couple with one another, which causes the impedance presented to the electronics to deviate from the ideal 50\u0026Omega; terminations in which they were designed for. This issue compromises both the array\u0026rsquo;s radiation pattern, as well as the electronics\u0026rsquo; performance in both linearity and efficiency. Reconfigurable amplifiers can compensate for this impedance mismatch, but they require VSWR resilient power\/impedance sensors to perform their self-healing algorithms. This proposal focuses on the design of VSWR-resilient mm-Wave joint impedance\/true-power sensors which can be integrated with power amplifiers to enable real-world deployment of reconfigurable amplifiers under these VSWR environments.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Millimeter-Wave VSWR Resilient Sensors for Beamforming Applications"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2021-06-03 21:26:06","changed_gmt":"2021-06-03 22:11:36","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-06-29T09:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2021-06-29T11:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-06-29T11:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-06-29 13:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-06-29 15:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-06-29 15:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
