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.

In this paper, an ultrathin tri-functional metasurface with PIN diodes and varactors incorporated is proposed. By varying the DC bias voltages, the proposed reconfigurable metasurface can achieve switchable functionalities of perfect reflection, transmission and absorption. The simulation results are presented and the performance of the metasurface is validated, which reveals that this metasurface may pave a new way for flexible manipulations of electromagnetic waves.

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.

This paper presents the retrospect and prospect on the trend of some representative mm-Wave antenna solutions, AiP, AiME, AiAiP, and AoD, to cellular phones. The main trigger factors for generation of these solutions are the constrains (e.g., the path losses and blockage) on the mm-Wave applications. Strategically, the underlying philosophy for the above solutions is the part integration; tactically, the underlying philosophy for design variants of the solutions is the capability expansion.

A varactor-tunable bandpass frequency selective surface with wide tuning range is presented in this paper. The proposed Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) is composed of three stacked metallic layers. In the top and bottom layers, four varactors are loaded between the cross-shaped patch and the inductive wire grid of the FSS unit cell, respectively. The wire grid in each layer is connected by a via, which forms a bias network. The advantage of this network is that no additional DC bias network is needed, which can effectively reduce the frequency offset caused by DC bias. The passband can be tuned by changing the capacitance of varators loaded in the unit cell. Full-wave simulations show a 59% wide tuning range from 11.4 to 6.2GHz with an insertion loss between 0.3-2.3dB by changing the varator capacitance from 0.1 to 0.4pF.

An active bandpass frequency selective surface (AFSS) is proposed in this paper based on the coupling principle, with good angularly and switching stabilities. Taking the wrench -shaped patch as the basic unit, AFSS tuning function is realized by changing the traditional structure and arrangement of wrench -shaped patch. Parameter analysis and equivalent circuit model are illustrated to explain the resonance behavior of the proposed AFSS. Numerical analysis software CST showed that by rotating the upper patch at 0°—120°, AFSS can be tuned in 6.36GHz -- 8.81GHz. It is demonstrated that the insertion loss can be reduced by changing the arm width of the unit, and the insertion loss can be kept within a certain range during tuning. According to the simulation and calculation, the FSS structure maintains good angularly stability within 0°—80° and has good switching stability during frequency band switching.
