Analysis on micro-doppler features using time-frequency analysis and super-resolution imaging has been a vital direction in radar target identification. However, because of heavy ground clutter, it’s difficult to use time-frequency analysis in SAR-GMTI[1], especially for low-velocity target. Besides, the traditional range model approximated by second-order polynomials is not suitable for micro-motion. For the above bottleneck, a regularity of interferometric phase of the micromotion target in multiple spatial channel in image domain is derived based on building the geometrical model in this paper. Besides, the correlation coefficient of the spatial steering vectors between each ghost point and clutter is introduced. The result of simulation also proves the founded principle has great improvement factor on detecting micro-motion targets in strong clutters.

In this paper, a metamaterial absorber with simultaneous high optical transparency and broadband microwave absorption is presented. By tailoring the reflection response of meta-atoms, 80% absorption performance from 6.8GHz to 18GHz is achieved. In the meantime, by employing transparent substrates, including indium tin oxide and anti-reflection glass, a maximum of 87% light transmittance is obtained. The absorptivity of the proposed metamaterial absorber is simulated and measured experimentally. Both results demonstrate highly consistence which verifies the reliability of our design for use in solar arrays.

All electrical properties of an antenna are determined by its current distribution. It is possible to numerically solve a current distribution producing optimal performance in some sense. However, this ideal current distribution is nearly impossible to realize in practice. We propose the discretized antenna concept, which makes it possible to realize nearly optimal current distributions in practice. The method does not necessitate manual error and trial type iteration and it can be solved with many design goals. In this paper, we describe the design steps.

A novel metasurface antenna is proposed with capacitive loading and dual-layer metasurface array. The antenna consists of dual-layer array using different period and four strips are inserted into unit of the upper array. This structure increases surface capacitance, thus reduces operating frequency and make the antenna miniaturized. The proposed antenna with a low profile of 0.064λ0 and a metasurface size of 0.4λ0×0.4λ0 (λ0 is the center operating wavelength in free space) attains 26.2% simulated bandwidth (|S11| < -10dB) with 6.19-7dBi gain at 3.78-4.92GHz. Compared to the traditional metasurface antenna, the antenna size reduced to 30%.

A stacked patch antenna is proposed which is loaded with mushroom metamaterials. The metamaterials enable the antenna to resonate at a very low frequency while the stacked patches broaden the impedance bandwidth. A particular metamaterial antenna is demonstrated in full wave calculations. A broad bandwidth of 24.6% is achieved for such a compact antenna, of which the driven and parasitic patch lengths are kept very small at the order of 0.21λ and 0.25λ respectively (λ is the wavelength of center frequency in the working bandwidth). The antenna gain is observed to be 7.26dBi while the peak efficiency is over 96% in the numerical example. The proposed antenna is suitable to be used in the portable wideband communications.

This paper presents a novel low-profile miniaturized dipole antenna with omnidirectional radiation. The structure (60mm × 60mm × 4mm) is made up of a dipole antenna with branches attached. For the geometry of the antenna, it looks like a flywheel which is constructed by using four branches conflguration on metallic ground. In this work, this proposed antenna can be divided into four parts: 1) a metallic patch printed on the top of the FR4 substrate with εr = 4.4 and the thickness of 1.0 mm; 2) a dual-substrate connected by four copper branches; 3) a coax feed connected to the center of bottom substrate, and 4) a radome located above the antenna. The simulation results show that the bandwidth is 2.33 ~2.38 GHz and the resonance frequency is 2.35 GHz. Moreover, the radiation characteristic of the designing antenna shows a good omnidirectional performance.
