However, in practical applications, the actual synthetic aperture array is non-uniform since uniform scanning is difficult to achieve. To solve this problem, a frequency-domain fast imaging algorithm based on non-uniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT) is proposed in this paper.

We have built a deep neural network for ondemand design of a terahertz (THz) metasuface with split ring resonator. With the required reflectance as input, the parameters of the structure are automatically calculated and then output to achieve the purpose of designing on demand. The results indicate that using deep learning to train the data, the trained model can more accurately guide the design of the structure, thereby speeding up the design process.

The unit cell of the filter consists of two plates butted together with a split gap and a central bar. The phase transition of VO2 is induced by the ohmic heating of the central bar. The transmission can be modulated by the temperature caused by the ohmic heating. The mechanism of tunability is that the conductivity of the VO2 film changes with the applied currents. The relation between the modulation frequency and the geometries is investigated using finite element method (FEM). The simulation results show that, when the temperature of the VO2 film increases from 65 to $70^{circ}mathrm{C}$, a redshift from 0.65 THz with a 99% modulation depth to 0.3 THz with a 94% modulation depth is obtained.
