This paper proposes an ultra-wideband RF feedback loop including high energy-efficiency invertor structures, which is tailored for silicon-based optoelectronic oscillator (OEO). The proposed RF feedback loop is composed of a wideband transimpedance amplifier, an analog phase shifter and a driver amplifier, which can provide required gain and phase of OEO. The loop achieves a trans-impedance gain of over 75 dBΩ, a tunable phase shift of 360°, an output swing of 0.5-4.5 V and a power consumption of only 143 mW. Furthermore, based on the proposed RF feedback loop, the OEO with a frequency tuning range of 4 GHz to 12 GHz is realized.

In this article, a dual-polarized unit-cell for wideband refletarrays is presented. By tuning the slot length of the structure, a linear phase for both polarizations can be achieved. An offset-fed reflectarray containing 506 proposed elements for each polarization is designed. Simulations exhibit that the reflectarray antenna features a wide 1-dB gain bandwidth of 32% and 31% for horizontal and vertical polarization, respectively. Satisfactory sidelobe and cross-polarization behavior is also obtained for both polarizations.

The coating of radar absorbing material can reduce radar cross section of aircrafts significantly, it’s indeed necessary to analyze their electromagnetic scattering characteristics. The traditional method requires plenty of time thus can’t meet the need of real-time analysis. To solve this problem, this paper proposed an image-to-image deep neural network based on U-net with residual unit. This network can predict the ISAR image for a coated target with random defect. The well-trained network can accelerate the speed by five orders while ensuring a relative error lower than 0.28%. The numerical results are exhibited to prove that the proposed method is of great efficiency and accuracy compared to the traditional method.

A wide-band divide-by-2 injection-locked frequency divider (ILFD) based on a dual-resonance high-order tank is presented. The ILFD employs a distributed LC network as the dual resonance tank, and achieves an ultra-wide locking range. Fabricated in 1P7M 65 nm LP-CMOS process, the divide-by-2 ILFD consumes 7 mW from a 0.7V power supply, and realized a locking range of 87.0%, from 13 GHz to 33 GHz. The core circuit occupies an area of 0.22 mm×0.5 mm.

Accurate phase coding is a key to meet the demand of practical problems for digital metamaterials. In this work, we propose a novel phase coding method based on convex optimization for digital metamaterials. A general nonconvex problem of metamaterials beam synthesis is reformulated into a convex optimization problem. The quasi-Newton optimization method is used to obtain the solution of the convex optimization problem. Then a shortest-distance discretization method maps the obtained solution into a selectable phase. A digital metamaterials example is presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method in comparison with conventional genetic algorithm.

This paper presents a low radar cross-section (RCS) dual-band dual-polarized antenna designed based on absorptive frequency-selective reflector (AFSR). The AFSR is composed of a dual-band dual-polarized bandstop frequency selective structure (FSS) and an absorber under the FSS. The bandstop FSS element is designed using cross-frame and square ring to realize dual-band dual-polarized operation. The reflection frequency band of AFSR coincides with the operation band of the antenna. The simulation results indicate that the AFSR-backed antenna system has a remarkable reduction of out-of-band RCS and relatively consistent radiation performance compared with the PEC-backed antenna.

This paper presents a design of 23-34 GHz wideband low-noise amplifier (LNA) based on gallium-nitride (GaN) technology. The LNA circuit employs an input matching network with few components and particularly reduces the noise of the second stage at the high frequency, which makes the circuit achieve sub-1dB noise performance in the whole bandwidth, while completing noise and impedance matching. Because inductive peaking technique and stagger tuning technique are adopted, the small-signal gain of the LNA is from 22.1 dB to 25.2 dB over the whole bandwidth. With 30.9 dBm maximum output-referred third-order intercept point (OIP3) and 42 dBm maximum input power (Pin,max), the LNA also achieves high linearity and high reliability.

Due to the aging population, fall detection is crucial for elderly health care and assisted living. Radar-based methods attract much attention for its potential for high accuracy, robustness, and privacy preservation. In this paper, sparsity-based feature extraction methods are proposed to extract robust time-Doppler features with physical meanings for the classification of fall and fall-similar motions. First, sparse representation theory is introduced and through Gabor-based sparse dictionary, sparse representation of the received signals can be achieved in time-Doppler domain. Then, corresponding sparse point maps consisting of a series of sparse solutions are obtained by OMP-based algorithm. Particularly, reconstructed signals can be utilized to demonstrate that sparse features preserve most information from original ones while ignoring noise interferences. Finally, experiments have been conducted to show its feasibility by achieving an average accuracy of 95% on fall detection.
