This paper proposes a method for forecasting the ionospheric critical frequency, foF2, one day in advance using the support vector machine approach. The output is the predicted foF2 one day ahead. The network is trained to use the ionospheric sounding data at Guangzhou station at high and low solar activity. The performance of the SVM model was verified with observed data. It is shown that the predicted foF2 has agreement with the observed foF2.

A method which is the combination of traditional antipodal Vivaldi and tightly coupled approach is proposed in this paper to meet the demands of the application of ultrawideband phased array antenna. Through the improvement of the combination structure, the performance of broadband array has been greatly improved. Firstly, by adding the truncated arms to the edge elements at both ends to compensate the edge elements. Then, by changing the bottom exponential curve of the antipodal Vivaldi to a special curve to obtain better low-frequency performance, the array has a VSWR of less than 2.5 within the band of 2–12 GHz. Finally, by arraying triangle arrays and controlling the number of elements in each row, the grating lobes and lobe-splitting phenomenon won't appear at the array pattern within the band of 2–12 GHz

In the context of the W-band outfield test system, antennas need high isolation to acquire target characteristic information at different latitudes and low sidelobe to realize high resolution. In order to meet above the two key requirements, this paper designs a new type of $2times 2$ dual-polarized full-corporate waveguide slot array unit. This unit uses orthogonal-mode coupling structure to achieve dual-polarized feed function. It utilizes circular slot to radiate electromagnetic waves. Antenna array consists of array units to reach narrow beamwidth and low sidelobe level. The simulation results show that the VSWR is less than 1.5 in the band of 91-97GHz. The antenna array has a gain more than 28dB and 3dB-beamwidth is 7°. It has a sidelobe level less than −22dB and a cross-polarization level less than −55dB.

In this study, historical data MOFF from two HF propagation paths: Qingdao-Lanzhou and Guangzhou-Haikou at mid and low latitude, the midpoint referenced data are from two ionosondes located at Xinxiang and Guangzhou, respectively. They are used to study the disturbance dMOFF properties reflected by the ionosphere during the ionospheric disturbance period, and compared with the variation of dMUF calculated by ITU-R P.533. The relative variation dfoF2 in the midpoint is used an indicator to denote the ionospheric disturbance magnitude. It is found that the change trends of dMOFF, dfoF2 and dMUF are similar to each other during the ionospheric disturbance time.

In recent years, the demand for low-altitude surveillance has increased dramatically, and passive radar has received more and more attentions. In this experimental research, we develop a multi-FM based passive radar system in Wuhan University. It is demonstrated that the digital beamforming (DBF) method can be used to simultaneously extract direct waves from different orientations as reference signals. Using this technique, we achieve multi-FM channel joint detection without increasing the complexity of the hardware system, which improves the detection stability of FM based passive radar.

Planar inverted-F antenna analysed using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method with absorbing boundary condition (ABC) are demonstrated in this thesis. To compare the effective of absorbing boundary condition at absorbing evanescent wave, two kinds of absorbing boundary conditions algorithm of the FDTD method are presented, which are convention perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary conditions and convolutional Perfectly Matched Layer (CPML) absorbing boundary condition. Based upon the programming language of MATLAB, the FDTD method is realized. The antenna is simulated using Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software, The simulation results agree fairly well with theoretical CPML analysis. The dimension of proposed antenna is ($10.48times 16times 0.847$) mm3 and its resonated at (2.23-5.89) GHz which cover the C-communication frequency band. Inverted-F antenna display omnidirectional radiation pattern and good peak gains across the operation bands.

Emitter localization via triangulation is a common task for spectrum management, and it is typically realized by angle-of-arrival (AoA) estimation with correlative interferometers installed within fixed or mobile monitoring stations. The AoA estimation technique is addressed and a modulation-specific algorithm is proposed. Simulation results show that, for a specific set of modulation types, namely the ones which are noncircular, both the accuracy of AoA estimation and that of localization are improved.

In this paper, we study the lightning induced transient effects on coaxial cables for ships. The coaxial cables with different grounding and shielding measures are injected with lightning waves according to the US military standard MIL-STD-461G, so that the circuit voltage at the end of the cables can be detected by the oscilloscope. A simply theory analysis is given and simulations are taken to find the influence of such measures. At last, experimental measurements validate the simulation results.

A novel quasi-Yagi antenna is presented based on spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs). In the new design, the antenna consists of a transition from a coplanar waveguide to an SSPPs waveguide, an SSPPs balun, an SSPPs driving dipole, and two SSPPs directors. The lengths of the driving dipole and director are approximately reduced by 32% and 27% compared with that of the conventional antenna in the free space without substrate, as a result of high phase constant on the SSPPs. Numerical simulations demonstrate good performance of the proposed structure, which has a gain of 8.7 dBi operating at 3 GHz. The proposed SSPPs quasi-Yagi antenna has potential value in wireless communication systems due to its compact dimension and good performance.
