An efficient shadowing detection method based on octree and an improved specular model for indoor propagation using point cloud data is presented. By partitioning the overall space containing all points into the leaf nodes, an octree can shrink the traverse range dramatically. The theoretical value of the projected Fresnel area is applied to promote the specular model. Numerical results show that the octree has an excellent performance with a high accelerate rate. And The comparisons with ray tracing (RT) and the original method demonstrate that the improved specular model can indeed provide more precise results for indoor propagation. Combined with these two methods, a good simulation result can still be obtained even in a realistic complex indoor environment.

Dual-polarization radar variables, such as differential reflectivity $(mathrm{Z}_{mathrm{dr}})$, are simulated from observed microphysical property of snowflakes. The increases of particle mass and aspect ratio are found to have opposite effects on $mathrm{Z}_{mathrm{dr}}$, This contradictory effect is different in various riming condition. The results of simulation were adopted to interpret radar observations, which are found to agree with the current hypothesis of riming process.

In this paper, a new method based on SBR method is proposed to calculate the electromagnetic scattering problem of electrically large target. In traditional SBR method, the split size is usually less than 0.4 wavelength to ensure the accuracy. In this paper, the split size which could describe the shape of the target is enough. So the calculating memory and time can be reduced greatly. And the parallel technology is utilized to further accelerate the speed of the program.

We present a photo-excited tunable terahertz matematerial absorber (MMA) with polarization-insensitive and wide-angle absorption. The MMA is a periodic array consisted of dielectric layer sandwiched with continue metal film and meander split-rings., where light-sensitive silicon (LSS) chip is embedded in four gaps of split-ring. Since the conductivity of LSS is sensitive for laser light power., the tunable function is easy to achieve for this MMA. The numerical simulations demonstrate that the absorption peak frequency of the designed MMA is varied from O.615THz to O.321THz by modulated LSS. In addition., the relative modulation bandwidth and absorption depth are 62.67% and 49.59%., respectively. Further simulations indicate that the MMA has polarization-insensitive and wide-angle absorption for both TE and TM modes.

The range resolution of the traditional single radar imaging system is limited by the bandwidth of the transmitted signal, while the cross resolution is limited by its observation angle range. In this paper, a high resolution 2d-imaging method using data fusion technique is proposed. First, we introduce the theoretical basis of multi-radar data fusion imaging based on the 2d-radar echo sparse representation model. Then, sparse parameters of multi-radar echo are obtained by ExCoV algorithm. Finally, we get lost echo data by interpolation and extrapolation and realize the fusion process. The simulation results show that the image quality is improved after radar data fusion, which is better than that of the single radar echo, verifying the effectiveness of our method.

The electromagnetic environment is becoming increasingly complex and the non-cooperative radar receiver will intercept the multiple concurrent radar signals. The binary phase shift keying/linear frequency modulated (BPSK/LFM) hybrid modulated signal is a novel kind of low probability of intercept (LPI) signal. In this paper, a new parameter estimation method is proposed for the multiple BPSK/LFM signals. The squaring process and fractional Fourier transform are used to estimate the chirp rate. Then, the output signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) is analyzed. Finally, the code rate estimation is given based on the linear transformation. Numerical simulation results show the efficacy of the proposed method and the correctness of the analysis.

This paper investigates the potential of using deep neural network (DNN) to model electromagnetic forward problems. As a preliminary attempt, we use a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to fit the scattered field of an inhomogeneous circular region as calculated by a 2D Finite Element-Boundary Integral (FE-BI) model. This approach provides a new tool to fast map input to output of a specific EM problem, which builds basis for further study on solving inverse problem with DNN.

In this letter, a novel frequency-independent circular polarized antenna is proposed for satellite communication application. It consists of a slot coupled antenna and a planar metasurface. Four compact sequential L-shaped feeding lines could generate energy to the metasurface through the metallic ground embedded cross slot. Therefore, surface waves could propagate on the metasurface, making the antenna generate additional resonances. Then, wide impedance bandwidth and axial ratio bandwidth of the proposed antenna can be achieved. Besides, the proposed antenna has low profile (0.05 λ0at 3.5 GHz), frequency independent, large front-to-back ratio, high gain, and wide half-power beamwidth property. It has great potential in global satellite communication systems and satellite navigation systems (S band and C band).

Analytical solutions for characteristic impedance and effective permittivity of coaxial line filled with multilayer dielectrics are presented. Using the conformal mapping approach, the cross section of coaxial line filled with multilayer dielectrics in z-plane is mapped into cross section of parallel-plate filled with multilayer dielectrics in the t-plane. The capacitance per unit length keeps the same after conformal mapping. The capacitance per unit length is calculated in the t-plane using the classic parallel-plate capacitance calculation equation. Based on the capacitance per unit length, characteristic impedance and effective permittivity of coaxial line filled with multilayer dielectrics can be derived using transmission line theory. Finally, two examples are given to verify the results. The presented analytical solutions are accurate as well as efficient and are useful for transmission line theory and computer-aided design in microwave engineering.

A X-band short-pulse high power amplifier (HPA) with high output power and high gain was proposed and implemented in this work. The HPA was realized by cascading a driving amplifier, a high power GaN FET and pulse control circuit. Under the pulse condition of 1 kHz PRF and 1% duty cycle, a maximum pulsed peak power level of 63 W is observed at the frequency of 8.2 GHz. In the frequency band from 8 GHz to 9 GHz, the short-pulsed HP A delivers more than 50W of output power, and the PAE is higher than 24.9%. The gain varies between 41.08 $mathbf{dB}$ and 42.01 dB with less than $pm pmb{1} mathbf{dB}$ gain variation. For demonstration, one prototype was fabricated and measured, reasonable results are observed.
