In this method, two phase-only metasurface plates are cascaded and coordinated to achieve amplitude modulation and phase alignment. The first phase-only metasurface plate is employed to realize the Chebyshev amplitude distribution of low sidelobes over the aperture of the second phase-only metasurface plate, where the aperture field phase can be subsequently aligned. The phase-only metasurface-based aperture amplitude modulation can effectively avoid energy loss, and it can simultaneously enhance the spillover efficiency to compensate for taper efficiency loss resulting from sidelobe suppression, thereby achieving low sidelobes while avoiding the loss of AE. Besides, to facilitate the specific design of Chebyshev distribution through phase modulation, a fast and efficient method is developed. Finally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, two TAs (termed TA1 and TA2, respectively) are designed, fabricated, measured, and compared. TA1 is a TA with optimal AE, and TA2 is designed based on the proposed method of low sidelobes without the loss of AE. Finally, TA2 achieves SLL of −27.2 dB (7.8 dB lower than TA1), a gain of 25.48 dB, and AE of 49.18% (0.26 dB and 3% lower than TA1, respectively). The proposed design method overcomes the loss of AE during sidelobe suppression, which presents new guidance for designing a low sidelobe TA with high AE.","PeriodicalId":13102,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation","volume":"73 1","pages":"304-313"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The WFC located at the near-field region of a microstrip patch antenna, composed of two dielectric substrates sandwiched by three layers of circular ring resonators or their complementary patterns, can effectively concentrate additional radiation energy of the antenna toward the main lobe direction by converting spherical waves to plane waves in the near-field region, thereby enhancing radiation gain and directionality in the far-field region. At the same time, when encountering an incidence plane wave externally for investigating the scattering properties of the considered antenna, the WFC will transform the reflected plane wave into a quasi-ellipsoidal wave, which can achieve a monostatic radar cross-sectional (RCS) reduction in the far-field region by dispersing the scattering energy in all directions. The mechanisms of synchronous modulation of radiation and scattering characteristics are studied by the principle analysis and experimental verification. Numerical and experimental results show that the reference antenna’s gain has been enhanced by 15.7 dBi, while its in-band monostatic RCS has been reduced by more than 10 dB.

In this communication, a sidelobe suppression method for the scanning synthetic beams is proposed. First, the fundamental model of the synthetic beam scanning method is presented with the introduction of the directional matching filter. Subsequently, the covariance matrix of the excitation signals is optimized using a convex optimization algorithm. This optimization allows for uniform bunching of the average power pattern within a specific angle range and simultaneous sidelobes’ suppression of the scanning synthetic patterns. In addition to the partially correlated excitation signals without practical constraints, the excitation signals are synthesized using the alternating minimization algorithm when considering a constant modulus constraint. Finally, numerical simulations and experiments are conducted to validate the proposed sidelobe suppression method.

To enhance the resolutions of 2-D images, sparse signal-processing techniques, such as compressed sensing (CS), have been applied to ISAR imaging using a sparse prior. Despite its efficiency in super-resolution imaging, the performance of CS is constrained due to the mismatch of the discrete dictionary, such as the Fourier transform. To address this issue, we propose a novel off-the-grid super-resolution ISAR imaging algorithm that employs a structured low-rank approach to effectively extrapolate the data bandwidth and aperture. To fully capture the low-rank property of ISAR data, the structured data model is constructed and its low-rank property is deduced to exhibit that the signal is embedded in a limited dimensional subspace. Then, the annihilating filter is derived by constructing a structured data matrix to formulate the proposed structured low-rank method, termed as off-the-grid super-resolution using annihilation constraint (OSAC). Taking into account that super-resolution imaging is highly reliant on the accuracy of the annihilating filter, the optimal annihilating filter is also estimated with the updating of extrapolated ISAR data. Through iterative updates of the annihilating filter and solution of the minimization problem, super-resolution ISAR imaging can be achieved by avoiding the discrete mismatch of the conventional CS method. Due to the effective exploration of structured low-rank property, the proposed OSAC algorithm offers superior precision in scatterer location and structure interpretation of a target. Experimental results using both simulated and real data are presented to verify the enhanced performance of 2-D resolution in ISAR imaging.","PeriodicalId":13102,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation","volume":"73 1","pages":"482-495"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
