5G Phased array

 In 5G communication systems, the phased-array antenna is one of the lead front-end components that defines massive multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) performance. The trend outlined in recent years involves providing a robust and complete platform/wizard for RF/microwave engineers to develop more capable antennas and other RF front-end components in less time than before.1 In addition, systems that operate at millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies offer benefits that include small antenna sizes and more available bandwidth.2

However, a challenge arises due to the wide variety of application-driven requirements, which encompasses everything from both city and rural environments to realized gain, scan, and polarization performance attributes to impedance matching and more. Such an extensive number of requirements cannot be met by a single and one-time designed element. This means that any practically convenient modeling platform must contain an extensive library of predesigned antenna elements.

Unfortunately, 5G antennas belong to a class of relatively small and densely populated phased arrays in which the total number of radiators typically does not exceed several hundred. If it does, the consistency of results obtained through such system-level platforms ultimately depends on the accuracy of the phased-array element models, which should include the relatively strong mutual coupling with other elements in the array (this mutual coupling can be āˆ’15 dB or 0.18 V relative to 1-V element excitation and sometimes even higher).

To date, the antenna-array block of numerous platforms avoids the associated challenges by using data from either a single radiator simulation/test in free space (meaning all elements are identical and mutual coupling is ignored) or a low-complexity and memory-consuming Floquet-Bloch technique. The latter assumes that all radiators are set in an infinite array and are thus identical, since each element is mutually coupled with the same infinite number of driven neighbors. We will demonstrate why both approaches have limited accuracy and how to overcome them

Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna

Microstrip is a type of electrical transmission line which can be fabricated using printed circuit board technology, and is used to convey microwave-frequency signals. It consists of a conducting strip separated from a ground plane by a dielectric layer known as the substrate. The most commonly employed microstrip antenna is a rectangular patch which looks like a truncated  microstrip  transmission line. It is approximately of one-half wavelength long. When air is used as the dielectric substrate, the length of the rectangular microstrip antenna is approximately one-half of a free-space  wavelength . As the antenna is loaded with a dielectric as its substrate, the length of the antenna decreases as the relative  dielectric constant  of the substrate increases. The resonant length of the antenna is slightly shorter because of the extended electric "fringing fields" which increase the electrical length of the antenna slightly. An early model of the microst...

Cracking Passwords Using John the Ripper: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Cracking Passwords Using John the Ripper: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide In today's post, we’re diving into a practical lab exercise that shows how to use John the Ripper, one of the most effective password-cracking tools in cybersecurity. Whether you're an IT professional or a cybersecurity student, mastering John the Ripper will help you understand password vulnerabilities and enhance your penetration testing skills. Lab Objective: The goal of this lab is to crack the root password on a Linux system (Support) and extract the password from a password-protected ZIP file (located on IT-Laptop). Both tasks are performed using John the Ripper. Steps to Crack the Root Password on Support: Open the Terminal on the Support system. Change directories to /usr/share/john . List the files and open password.lst to view common password guesses. Use John the Ripper to crack the root password by running john /etc/shadow . Once cracked, the password is stored in the john.pot file for future u...
