In this work, the fast physical optics (FPO) method is proposed to calculate the scattered fields from the coated scatterers. Different from the plane discretization, the quadratic patches are used to model the surface of the scatterers. Hence the number of the meshes would reduce greatly. With adopting the Lagrange interpolation and the closed-form formulation, the scattered fields could be represented as the analytical formulations. Numerical results demonstrate the accuracy and the efficiency of this method.

An ultra-wideband and high gain Fabry-Perot cavity (FPC) antennas is designed using frequency selective surface (FSS) and parasitic microstrip patch. The 3-dB gain bandwidth of the proposed FPC antenna is 19.1% mainly benefits from the FSS with reflection phase increasing with frequency. Moreover, compared with the source antenna the peak gain of the FPC antenna is improved from 8 dBi to 14 dBi. Compared with the normal U-slot antenna the 10-dB impedance bandwidth of the one with three parasitic patches microstrip U-slot antenna is improved from 11.4% to 54.5%. To validate the feasibility of the proposed approach, an FPC antenna prototype has been designed. It consists of a U-slot parasitic microstrip patch antenna as the source, two complementary frequency selective surfaces (FSS) as the partially reflective surface (PRS). Therefore, this new approach can be an effective way to enhance the gain and impedance bandwidth without increasing the cavity profile or using multi-layer superstrate structures.

In order to estimate the performance of MIMO system, the impacts of antenna polarization and signal frequency on propagation characteristics such as path loss, capacity, throughput are studied in both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight link.

Aiming at reducing the large computation cost of traditional EM-driven antenna design methods, surrogate models based on back propagation neural networks (BPNN) are studied. In order to solve the problem of easily falling into local optimum in BPNN, a PSO-BPNN surrogate model is developed by improving initial structural parameters of neural networks and applied to fast multi-objective optimization design of multi-parameter antenna structures. Design results show that the proposed PSO-BPNN surrogate model can be integrating into multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for dealing with complex antenna designs with high-dimensional parameter space.

The statistical characteristics of mid-low latitude ionospheric E-region field-aligned irregularities (FAI) observed with the Kunming very high-frequency (VHF) radar are presented. First, the observational results show that the irregularities appeared mainly in periods before noon and near night, with the nighttime echoes being more intense and covering a greater height extent than that during the daytime. Second, we observed the existence of two well-defined types of echoes in the nighttime: the lower E-region echoes (115-130km) and upper E-region echoes (130-150km). Moreover, there are differences in FAI's motion characteristics at different range in the daytime and nighttime. Without in-field measurements, it is difficult to verify what physical mechanisms may explain the formation of the irregularities, which we will combine other facilities to analyze it in the future.

This paper presents a new type of wide-bandwidth beam antenna, which uses a relatively new type of cross-type microstrip dipole. This form has a wider −3dB beamwidth than ordinary microstrip antennas. The radiation profile uses a gradation profile and widens the bandwidth of the antenna by adding parasitic structures and increasing the air frame height. Antenna structure parameters are optimized using ANSYS HFSS. What the test results display is that the 1 port and 2 port standing wave's relative bandwidth <−7.5dB of designed antenna unit reach 35.9% and 22.8%, the central frequency E-plane and H-plane beam width are 110 ° and 91 °, respectively, which facilitates large-angle scanning. This antenna is an orthogonal two-line polarized antenna with a zenith-directional line polarization cross-polarization level of −19.55 dB. With the help of software Matlab, we use sparse Focuss algorithm obtain the antenna array composed of 64 units. The gain reaches 19.61dB when the scanning angle is 60°. It was verified that this antenna element and sparse array have good characteristics.

The scattering of a 3-D deterministic forest scene is calculated for simulating the synthetic aperture radar(SAR) image. The generated trees are simplified as a cluster of slim cylinders and disks with the deterministic location, orientation and dielectric constant, which are used for coherent scattering calculation. To ensure the accuracy of coherent scattering calculation, the validity of the generalized Rayleigh-Gans (GRG) approximation and the infinite cylinder approximation are verified. The scattering of tree's components is verified by comparing the imaging results of the calculated data and the simulated data.

This letter presents a new broadband circularly polarized (CP) monopole antenna with modified ground. The proposed antenna fed by coaxial probe consists of a square ground loaded with an L-shaped branch, which is capable of generating broadband CP radiation. In addition, an I-shaped slit is embedded into the ground plane to improve the impedance matching. The presented antenna has a 10 dB return loss bandwidth from 1.82 to 4.21 GHz (79.3% centered at 3.02 GHz), and a wide 3 dB axial-ratio (AR) bandwidth from 1.84 to 3.95 GHz (72.9% centered at 2.89 GHz). The measured gains are greater than 2.0 dBic in the AR band, and the gain variation within the AR band is less than 1 dBic, which means a good flat gain feature in the broad frequency band. Both the simulated and measured results validate the proposed design.

A novel low profile EBG is proposed to reduce the radar cross section (RCS) and enhance the gain for patch antenna. The proposed antenna shows low scattering performance for both x- and y-polarization at boresight. Different with conventional low RCS reflector designed by using chessboard-like structure, this design makes use of one-dimensional (1-D) periodic metasurface and need fewer metamaterial cells. Full wave simulation results show that RCS can be reduced more than 13dB at 11.2GHz by the proposed slotted EBG. Except for the RCS reduction, the broadside gain can be obviously enhanced over the antenna operating frequency bandwidth from 10.55GHz to 12GHz (12.9%).
