According to point spread functions (PSFs), the array topology results from the proposed design method have superior performance on sidelobe level both in the interference region (IR) and non-IR (NIR), and the obtained peak sidelobe levels (PSLs) are lower than the conventional topologies over 2 dB. The IBPA has weighting factors incorporated into its forward physical wave equations to improve accuracy of the model. The imaging capabilities of the proposed array and IBPA have been experimentally verified. The proposed array could further mitigate the artifact distribution in target image than conventional arrays which is consistent to theoretical analysis.

Deep magnetic focusing (DMF) by multiple coaxial coils, a sort of 3D SMF, is first proposed in this article, where magnetic field becomes maximum at the focal range in longitudinal direction. DMF is requisite for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and wireless power transfer (WPT). As the simplest DMF, a set of differential coils with opposite current direction is implemented. Optimum coil currents, coil radii, and coil distance are designed to provide with zero magnetic field at zero range and maximum magnetic field at a focal range. This DMF performance is found to be achieved with a penalty of peak magnetic field reduction. Experiments for the differential coils of diameters 10 and 5 cm with 3 cm gap showed 4 cm depth DMF within 6 cm diameter. Specific numbers of turns make the DMF be driven by only a single-voltage source, which is first adopted in SMF. The frequency versatile DMF characteristic is experimentally verified for 60 Hz and 40 kHz, where 27 mW is delivered to a focal point that is a demonstration for safer WPT of implantable devices.","PeriodicalId":13102,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation","volume":"73 6","pages":"3792-3801"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144219829","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}

In this article, a novel ray launching (RL) algorithm is presented, which operates directly on noisy point clouds acquired from sensor data. It produces coarse paths that are further refined to exact paths consisting of reflections and diffractions. A commercial RT tool is utilized as the baseline for validating the simulated paths. A significant majority of the baseline paths is found. The robustness to noise is examined by artificially applying noise along the normal vector of each point. It is observed that the proposed method is capable of adapting to noise and finds similar paths compared to the baseline path trajectories with noisy point clouds. This is prevalent especially if the normal vectors of the points are estimated accurately. Finally, a simulation is performed with a reconstructed point cloud and compared against channel measurements and the baseline paths. The resulting paths demonstrate similarity with the baseline path trajectories and exhibit an analogous pattern to the aggregated impulse response extracted from the measurements.

This antenna comprises two partially reflective surfaces (PRSs) that form two nested F-P cavities for signals in two bands. To reduce the monostatic RCS at high frequencies, a PBPCM is placed on the top side of the upper PRS, leveraging its ability to redirect reflected waves into different directions by encoding the phase on the metasurface. Additionally, two AMC surfaces etched on the top side of both the lower PRS and the ground plane further reduce the low-frequency RCS through phase cancellation. The overall antenna profile is also minimized, owing to the AMC’s flexible phase adjustment. The simulated and measured results verify the feasibility of the proposed method. The prototyped F-P cavity antenna exhibits a measured -10 dB impedance bandwidth of 4.15–4.8 and 7.8–8.4 GHz, with peak gains of 10 dBi at 4.45 GHz and 15.9 dBi at 8.3 GHz, respectively. Moreover, a wideband RCS-reduction bandwidth from 3 to 16 GHz is achieved under both x- and y-polarizations.","PeriodicalId":13102,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation","volume":"73 6","pages":"4158-4163"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144219619","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}
