This work shows that continuous wavelet transformation (CWT) is very useful for analyzing transient abnormalities in energy grids. Scalograms are used to visualize the results. It is demonstrated that the family of complex wavelets can be used to analyze the transfer of active power in the power system, even during transient events. This can be used to analyze resonant power grid structures and to identify the causes of violations of current and voltage limits at the grid connection point.

This paper presents a cost-effective automotive radar system that monitors street conditions while maintaining standard radar operations. Using a novel frequency-selective approach, the system operates at 76.5 GHz for standard radar operations and 80.5 GHz for street condition monitoring, eliminating the need for additional hardware. The findings demonstrate reliable detection of different street types and conditions, enhancing vehicle safety in diverse environments.

This study explores how electromagnetic waves at 92 GHz potentially ignite explosive atmospheres. Different materials were exposed to high-frequency waves and the resulting temperature increase was measured. A material was selected and controlled ignition tests in explosive gas-air mixtures were conducted. The results show that up to 800 mW can be safely used without triggering an explosion. This suggests that current safety standards (limited to 60 GHz) could be expanded to higher frequencies.

This work presents a possible application for radar angular resolution testing. To enable actual conditions, the signal from the radar target simulator is reflected on a parabolic mirror. However, more than one radar target simulator is necessary for angular testing so that they have an offset to the mirror's focal point. The occurring effects,  such as mispositioning and target splitting, are analyzed and explained. Overall, the system is suitable to enable angular resolution testing.

Automotive radar systems help vehicles detect objects and improve safety. This research presents a new antenna design that operates at two different frequencies to enhance both detection range and field of view. The design improves radar performance while keeping the system compact and cost-effective. By carefully analyzing the antenna, its reliability is confirmed. This innovation can support advanced driver assistance systems, making future vehicles safer and more efficient.

This work explores the special type of passive device to tracking an object without needing its own power source. A special tag placed on the object reflects signals from an external scanner. The scanner sends out waves, and the tag bounces them back, helping detect the objects. The work is aiming at warehouse application to track item boxes in the stock by fixing the tag to the box.

This study explores low-cost manufacturing of waveguide components for radio frequency applications. Using 3D printing and metallic coatings, performance is optimized while reducing costs. Tests show improved conductivity enhances efficiency. The findings highlight additive manufacturing as a viable alternative to industrial components, making high-frequency technology more accessible.

Radar waves are able to penetrate through materials like cardboard or plastics and thus are able to inspect hidden objects. A 3D inspection system based on radar imaging is introduced. Opposed to X-Ray imaging, no harmful radiation is used. The system scans through the object, while it is passing on a conveyor belt. The inspection system uses a curved antenna layout, which is shown to have higher resolution than flat layouts. For processing, a custom flexible and performant algorithm is derived.

Our paper reviews orthogonal waveforms for spaceborne Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Synthetic Aperture Radar (MIMO-SAR), a first-of-its-kind comparison. We provide a catalogue of waveform performance parameters and an ambiguity function analysis, serving as decision rules for optimal waveform selection in MIMO-SAR design.

Monitoring vital signs without direct contact improves patient comfort and reduces measurement disturbances. Our research explores a radar-based approach to detect heartbeats without sensors attached to the body. Using a 24 GHz radar system, we developed advanced signal processing methods to ensure accurate detection. The results closely match conventional ECG (electrocardiography) measurements, demonstrating the potential of radar technology for future medical and home-care applications.

Using 30 years of radar observations at Andøya, this study presents the world’s longest record of a rare summer phenomenon high above the Arctic. The season lasts about 104 days and is gradually starting earlier and ending later. Even after accounting for solar and geomagnetic effects, a small but steady rise remains. The strongest signals occur about 84 km up and show no long-term change, offering new insight into ongoing shifts in the upper atmosphere.
