Retrodirective Systems

Abstract: A retrodirective system reacts to an incoming signal from an unspecified direction by transmitting a response to that same direction, regardless of what that direction is. This automatic beamsteering feature, performed without any prior knowledge of the location of the source, makes retrodirective systems attractive for automatic pointing and tracking systems, microwave‐tracking beacons, radiofrequency identification, solar power satellites, and small‐satellite crosslinks. This article focuses on retrodirectiv… Show more

“…The retrodirective array has been used in many wireless communication systems and satellite communications due to its automatic beam steering feature [1][2][3][4][5][6]. It does not require any known information of the source location but is able to resend the incident wave toward to where it comes from.…”

“…poorly trained teacher + poor quality school + unprepared student = national poverty!" (Shiroma;Evangelista, 2014, p. 13). The authors argue that if this situation were described in this way, the entire resolution would be encompassed in teacher training; maintaining this approach, we would fail to see, through the lens of the above reference, that often students' difficulties enter classrooms occupying their time and thought.…”

“…Most retrodirective arrays demonstrated to date [1], [10] are based on the heterodyne method [11] in which an incoming RF signal at each element is mixed with an LO signal at twice the frequency. The major shortcoming of this architecture is that the retrodirected signal strength at the output of the array is entirely dependent on the distance from the interrogator, making these arrays susceptible to an roundtrip path loss.…”
