In this communication, a dual-fundamental-mode dual-band open cavity antenna loaded with frequency-selective radiating (FSR) slots is proposed. A row of FSR slots is etched onto both the top and bottom metal layers of cavity, forming frequency-selective apertures. At the low band (LB), the slots do not resonate and behave approximately as short circuits, while at the high band (HB), the slots resonate and are equivalent to open circuits. For the cavity antenna loaded with FSR slots, it behaves as a large cavity at LB and as a small cavity at HB. The cavity operates in the fundamental mode TE${}_{1/2,1,0}$ at both bands. By adjusting the cavity width $w_{1}$ , the LB resonance can be tuned without affecting the HB performance, which allows for flexible control of the frequency ratio without iterative optimization. A prototype is fabricated and measured to validate the proposed concept. The measured −6-dB impedance bandwidth at LB is 2.40–2.52 GHz, and the −10-dB bandwidth at HB is 5.14–6.20 GHz. The measured gains are 5.5 dBi at LB and 9.5 dBi at HB. The proposed antenna demonstrates strong potential for Wi-Fi 6 applications.

A filtering tightly coupled dipole array (F-TCDA) is presented. More importantly, the single-PCB fabricated low-profile F-TCDA can achieve dual-polarization ultrawideband and wide-angle scanning simultaneously. The proposed array attains out-of-band filtering through an innovative, compact, single-layer feeding network with a stepped-impedance resonator (SIR). Meanwhile, the reasons for the deterioration of the orthogonal port isolation are analyzed, and mitigation methods are proposed. Moreover, the wide-angle scanning capability is significantly improved by introducing a double-layer frequency-selective surface (FSS). According to simulation results, the proposed F-TCDA achieves a bandwidth of 6.1:1 (0.32–1.95 GHz) for 60° E/H-plane scanning with the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) <3.2,> $0.11~lambda _{text{low}}$ at the lowest operating frequency, and the orthogonal port isolation in the operating band is better than 17.2 dB at the broadside. To validate the design, an $8times 8$ tightly coupled array prototype is fabricated, and the measured results are consistent with the simulation results.

This communication investigates the scattering of beam waves by a planar surface with an impedance discontinuity, emphasizing the case where the beam impinges near the discontinuity. Two key phenomena are analyzed: the reflected field, which exhibits a smooth transition between partial beam reflections across the discontinuity, and the excitation of surface waves (SWs), which is shown to be significantly stronger—by orders of magnitude—than conventional SW excitation mechanisms. We formulate the exact Sommerfeld–Malyuzhinets (SMs) double spectral integral solution, and then derive a uniform asymptotic solution applicable to near-discontinuity beam incidence. The asymptotic solution demonstrates excellent agreement with numerical evaluations of the exact integral and offers a compact representation of the underlying wave physics. The strong SW excitation produced by collimated beams incident near the discontinuity suggests potential applications in SW antenna systems, including illumination by multiple remote collimated sources, highlighting the significance of the results.

The design of reconfigurable frequency-selective absorbers (FSAs) presents a multifunctional optimization challenge. In this communication, a machine learning-based multifunctional inverse topological design method (MF-ITDM) is proposed for efficient and convenient design of reconfigurable FSAs. This method leverages the strengths of inverse design, topological modeling, and machine learning to simultaneously consider all desired absorption bands and rapidly generate corresponding FSA structures with high degrees of freedom (DoFs). Two numerical examples of reconfigurable FSAs with varying numbers of objectives are used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed MF-ITDM, as a powerful design tool for the reconfigurable FSA on the basis of high DoFs. Additionally, the performance of the designed reconfigurable FSAs is experimentally verified by measuring the fabricated topological structures.

For the local convergence phenomenon in the multiobjective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D) when applied to multiconstraint sparse array optimization, a multiconstraint evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MCEA/D) is proposed in this communication. Unlike MOEA/D, which constructs subproblems through weighted aggregation of multiple objectives, MCEA/D converts objective functions into constraints while retaining a single objective function, generating subproblems via constraint value space decomposition. Consequently, MCEA/D performs optimization within different constraint subspaces, with each subproblem operating in its own search space. This novel approach effectively mitigates the diversity loss and premature convergence issues of MOEA/D caused by the shared search space among subproblems. The results of uniformly excited concentric ring sparse array (CRSA) optimization demonstrate that MCEA/D can successfully identify feasible Pareto fronts (PFs), outperforming MOEA/D algorithm in this capability. Electromagnetic simulations validate the results.
针对基于分解的多目标进化算法（MOEA/D）应用于多约束稀疏阵列优化时存在的局部收敛现象，提出了一种基于分解的多约束进化算法（MCEA/D）。与MOEA/D通过多个目标的加权聚合构造子问题不同，MCEA/D在保留单个目标函数的同时，将目标函数转化为约束，通过约束值空间分解生成子问题。因此，MCEA/D在不同的约束子空间中执行优化，每个子问题在自己的搜索空间中运行。该方法有效地缓解了由于子问题间共享搜索空间而导致的MOEA/D算法的多样性损失和过早收敛问题。均匀激励同心环稀疏阵列（CRSA）优化结果表明，MCEA/D算法能够成功识别可行的Pareto front (PFs)，优于MOEA/D算法。电磁仿真验证了结果。

A novel framework is presented that combines density-based topology optimization with characteristic mode analysis to directly optimize the eigenvalues of conducting surfaces. The density formulation enables the application of adjoint sensitivity analysis, which provides efficient computation of material gradients for local updates of the continuous material distribution. The proposed approach allows optimization of modal quantities, e.g., eigenvalues, while maintaining a natural separation between geometry design and excitation synthesis inherent to modal analysis. The framework’s properties and performance are illustrated through several examples, including single-mode resonance control and multimode optimization.

A multimode wideband patch antenna is proposed for indoor base stations (BSs), with the antenna achieving a wide impedance bandwidth and the equipment realizing specific absorption rate (SAR) touch compliance with 0.375-W time-averaged accepted power from 3.4 to 3.8 GHz. For comparison, a narrowband canonical fundamental-mode patch antenna allows only 0.11 W under the same conditions for touch compliance. The wide bandwidth of the proposed antenna is achieved by combining three even modes excited at close frequencies. The use of even modes results in split SAR maxima and thus lower SAR levels compared to odd modes to achieve touch compliance. To further prove the applicability of the antenna, its performance is evaluated using power-dependent multiplexing efficiency based on indoor channel models. The proposed design demonstrates superior performance, e.g., 4.9–6.0 times higher median levels of the power-dependent multiplexing efficiency in various scenarios, over the canonical patch antenna.

A new spectral integral method (SIM) based on divergence-conforming Gauss–Lobatto–Legendre (GLL) polynomials is proposed to solve the electromagnetic scattering problem for 3-D nonsmooth multilayered composite bodies of revolution (BoRs). The method is based on the mixed-order divergence conforming vector basis functions that have spectral accuracy. Unlike the conventional BoR-SIM with fast Fourier transform (FFT) acceleration, this new BoR-SIM can solve the problem of smooth as well as nonsmooth objects by incorporating the higher order basis functions and pole boundary conditions. Furthermore, the Poggio–Miller–Chang–Harrington–Wu–Tsai (PMCHWT) surface integral equation (SIE) is utilized alongside the method to avoid resonance difficulties when dealing with wideband scattering from multilayered BoRs with arbitrary shapes. Numerical examples are tested to verify and show the improvements in accuracy and efficiency. The results are compared with those of commercial software FEKO and the conventional BoR method. Its practical applicability is demonstrated by modeling multilayered objects with a perfect electric conductor (PEC) parabolic antenna in a radome. All numerical results show that the BoR-SIM is an efficient alternative to other BoR methods for scattering problems.

A novel and efficient wideband frequency sweep algorithm is proposed to improve the computational efficiency of electromagnetic scattering analysis for dielectric objects. The method is based on the Poggio–Miller–Chang–Harrington–Wu–Tsai (PMCHWT) integral equation. The fast dipole method (FDM) is employed to reduce the time required for impedance matrix generation. The far-field impedance elements are computed on demand, which significantly reduces memory consumption. To avoid the repeated point-by-point frequency sweep, the asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) technique is integrated into the framework. This approach eliminates the need to store high-order derivatives and further enhances computational efficiency. Additionally, the application of Padé approximation extends the fitting bandwidth. Numerical results validate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed PMCHWT combined with FDM and AWE (PMCHWT-FDM-AWE) algorithm.

In this communication, we present an all-metal circularly polarized (CP) endfire antenna array composed of a series of perturbed stubs and shared tightly coupled resonant elements integrated with a double-sided parallel stripline (DSPSL). By feeding one port with an SMA connector while terminating the other with a $50~Omega $ load, the antenna can achieve left-hand/right-hand circular polarization (LHCP/RHCP) radiation in the endfire direction. When the excitation and the matched load exchange positions, it can also generate RHCP/LHCP radiation. A prototype was fabricated to validate the design, and measurements conducted in an anechoic chamber demonstrated excellent agreement with simulation results. The proposed antenna exhibits an impedance bandwidth and axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 8%, an efficient of 82%91%, and an endfire gains of 12.2 dBi for LHCP and 11.9 dBi for RHCP. The compact size $(3.5lambda _{0} times 0.58lambda _{0})$ of the antenna further enhances its practicality and makes it a promising candidate for long-distance and fixed-point communication systems.
