This communication introduces a single-channel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) algorithm designed to detect and produce high-fidelity images of moving targets in spotlight mode. The proposed fast backprojection (BP) algorithm utilizes multilevel interpolations and aggregation of coarse images produced from partial datasets. Specifically designed for near-field scenarios and assuming a circular radar trajectory, the algorithm demonstrates enhanced efficiency in detecting both moving and stationary vehicles on roads.

This communication introduces a novel optimization method for designing rotated subarrays. Rotated subarrays typically employ modular configurations with large element spacing to enable cost-efficient phased array implementations. The main challenge is reducing grating lobes (GLs) caused by the large spacing, which is a complex optimization problem. By carefully redesigning the optimization model, this nonconvex problem is transformed into a convex form that can be solved efficiently. Numerical results demonstrate superior GL suppression compared to existing methods, while full-wave electromagnetic simulations validate the approach.

In this communication, co-design of long-term evolution (LTE) and millimeter-wave (MMW) antennas with switchable MMW beams in the display direction for mobile phones is studied. The MMW antenna is composed of three monopoles, which is positioned at three distinct places on the chassis of a mobile phone. By selecting different monopoles and using the chassis surface waves, three switchable MMW beams in the display direction are achieved with high gains. Also, three folded plates are employed to improve the MMW radiation performance in the display direction. To realize the co-design, the interdigital capacitor (IDC) structure is applied as the ground of the MMW antenna, which affects the LTE antenna slightly. For the LTE antenna, the measured band of −6 dB cover 700–962 and 1637–2763 MHz. The measured efficiencies are higher than 45% and 53%, respectively. For the MMW antenna, the measured band of −10 dB cover 24.25–27.5 GHz. Within the band of 24.25–27.5 GHz, the measured peak gain reaches 11.3 dBi. A beam steering range of 80° (−40° to 40°) is realized in the display direction, with a gain exceeding 9.8 dBi. The proposed antenna, using chassis surface waves, with switchable MMW beams in the display direction can be a potential candidate for LTE/MMW mobile phones.

In this study, we investigate the theory of extremely low-frequency (ELF, below 30 Hz) wave propagation within a layered, anisotropic oceanic lithosphere waveguide. By considering the anisotropic properties of the lower layer of the waveguide, we derive the reflection coefficients for the guided modes. The modal equation for the anisotropic case is developed and solved by evaluating the reflection coefficients of the upper and lower waveguide boundaries. Analytical expressions for the propagating mode and field strength under anisotropic conditions are presented. Calculations and analysis reveal that when the transverse conductivity of the lower boundary is greater than its longitudinal conductivity, the field strength is marginally reduced compared to the isotropic case. Additionally, when the medium conductivity is anisotropic, the antenna pattern differs from the isotropic case and exhibits an asymmetric distribution.

This communication presents a novel three-layer cascaded bianisotropic metasurface (MS) for enhancing wireless power and data transmission across the air–tissue interface in implantable bioelectronic systems. The proposed MS simultaneously addresses two fundamental challenges in electromagnetic wave regulation for bioelectronics: 1) mitigating reflection losses due to impedance mismatch at the air–tissue boundary and 2) reducing polarization sensitivity of implanted devices to incoming linearly polarized (LP) signals. The experimental validation using porcine tissue at 28 GHz demonstrates a significant transmission enhancement of 6.07 dB and an axial ratio (AR) below 3 dB across the 27.2–28.6-GHz band, ensuring consistent and robust circular polarization performance over a wide spectrum. These results represent a significant advancement in implantable device interfaces, offering dual functionality of polarization conversion and impedance matching in a single compact platform.

The shared-aperture antenna is considered an attractive high-integration solution to support the cooperative work of sub-6 GHz and millimeter-wave (mmW) frequency bands. Current share-aperture designs, however, face challenges in simultaneously realizing dual polarization, low-profile, and mmW beam-scanning arrays. In this communication, to deal with this issue, a dual-polarized coplanar shared-aperture antenna integrating sub-6-GHz metasurface (MTS) and mmW magnetoelectric (ME) dipole for 5G (4.9, 26 GHz) wireless terminals is proposed. By leveraging the sub wavelength characteristics of MTS unit cells, each cell integrates an embedded ME-dipole element. Meanwhile, the MTS unit cells are perforated for the miniaturization of the sub-6-GHz antenna while accommodating the $4times 4$ mmW ME-dipole array. Therefore, both the sub-6-GHz MTS and the mmW ME-dipole share the same aperture and profile, resulting in a very compact size of $0.46times 0.46times 0.028~lambda _{L}^{3}$ ($lambda _{L}$ is the wavelength in free space at 4.9 GHz). The open-loop resonator (OLR) structure is introduced to MTS for decoupling between the MTS cell and the ME-dipole in the mmW band. For validation, an antenna prototype is fabricated and tested.

A compact single-layer substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) slot array antenna with high aperture efficiency and low sidelobe level (SLL) is proposed in this work. The array antenna comprises four linear slot arrays in parallel. By feeding at the center using a novel serial SIW power divider, each linear array is converted into two shorter ones. In addition, to resolve the problem of aperture blockage, slots are etched on the top surface of the designed SIW power divider without damaging the divider. Consequently, high aperture efficiency and suppressed SLL in H-plane can be obtained. Meanwhile, the cross-polarization (X-pol) of the antenna is not compromised by these added slots, reason of which is elaborated. Moreover, the proposed antenna is realized on a single-layer substrate, thus slashing the fabrication complexity and cost, which is critical for mass production. Experiments show that the proposed antenna maintains low SLL in both E- and H-planes throughout the entire impedance bandwidth from 77.6 to 81.8 GHz (5.3%). At the center frequency, the gain is 19.1 dBi (53.4% aperture efficiency), and the SLL is −17.1 dB in H-plane and −16.8 dB in E-plane. Due to good overall characteristics, the proposed center-fed SIW slot array antenna is a good candidate for millimeter-wave (mmWave) applications.
