Time-modulated arrays (TMAs) provide unique advantages for multibeam generation by exploiting “time” as an additional design degree of freedom. However, conventional approaches generally struggle to manipulate multiple beams while maintaining low hardware complexity, with hardware nonidealities further degrading the overall beamforming performance. To address these challenges, this article proposes a high-precision multibeamforming approach of TMAs with nonideality compensation. Specifically, a characterization technique without pre-estimation is introduced to model nonideal switching waveforms, which is further incorporated into time sequence modeling to achieve high accuracy and flexibility. By decomposing the high-dimensional multibeam problem into low-dimensional subproblems, the interbeam coupling is mitigated, thereby allowing independent multibeam for nonideal TMAs. Compared with existing techniques, the proposed approach exhibits distinct advantages in terms of beam flexibility, hardware simplicity, switching transition count, compensation for nonidealities, and total efficiency. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through both simulations and experimental measurements.","PeriodicalId":13272,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques","volume":"74 10","pages":"9209-9222"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149222422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their implementation in the microwave regime is challenging because optical pulse-shaping techniques cannot be directly transferred to microwaves, while array-based spatiotemporal synthesis generally requires multiple synchronized radio frequency channels. Here, we propose a metasurface-based approach for generating spatiotemporal microwave vortices (STMVs) by engineering an isolated transmission singularity in the joint momentum–frequency <inline-formula> <tex-math>$(k_{x}-omega)$ </tex-math></inline-formula> domain. Temporal coupled-mode theory (TCMT) and full-wave decomposition show that the symmetry-breaking metasurface unit converts a transmission nodal line into an isolated zero, where destructive interference between background transmission and resonant radiation produces a singularity in the <inline-formula> <tex-math>$(k_{x}-omega)$ </tex-math></inline-formula> domain. Fourier synthesis maps this spectral singularity into an edge-dislocation vortex in the longitudinal <inline-formula> <tex-math>$xt$ </tex-math></inline-formula> plane, with T-OAM oriented perpendicular to the propagation direction.

An analytical transmission-line model is first developed for the static case, in which the ferrite is saturated by an in-plane static magnetic bias field. The per-unit-length inductance is derived within a quasi-static framework while explicitly accounting for fringing field effects. Experimental validation demonstrates that the proposed analytical model accurately predicts the intrinsic bandgap edges of the structure, with substantially improved agreement compared to the classical Hines model. The analysis is then extended to the time-varying case, where the ferrite substrate is additionally subjected to a weak, time-modulated magnetic bias field. Magnetic memory effects are incorporated through an adiabatic approach, enabling an analytical description of the time-varying TL (TVTL). Measurements confirm the model’s accuracy, revealing the generation of sideband harmonics and a strong enhancement of harmonic conversion efficiency near the band gap boundaries. Notably, a maximum first-order normalized harmonic conversion efficiency of −25.7 dBc is observed at an incident frequency of 5.720 GHz, even though the modulation field being ~330 times weaker than the static bias field. Theoretical investigations indicate that, for low-loss ferrites with slightly increased modulation amplitudes, the proposed platform can produce dozens of sidebands with desirable levels even under small-signal radio frequency (RF) input conditions. These results highlight the substantial potential of time-varying ferrite-based microstrip lines for broadband harmonic generation and frequency conversion applications.","PeriodicalId":13272,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques","volume":"74 10","pages":"8619-8630"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149222551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when attempting to further implement these filters in standard complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology for a higher level of integration, existing architectures face challenges due to the reliance on large-scale absorption structures and additional resistors. In this article, the lossy property of standard CMOS technology is exploited by implementing frequency-selective absorptive resonators for stopband absorption alternatively. This approach not only miniaturizes the additional circuit size introduced by the absorption part but also enhances its feasibility for CMOS implementations. Two absorptive resonators are developed for input-reflectionless bandstop and bandpass filters (BSFs/BPFs). Based on the investigation of the equivalent circuit models (ECMs), the absorption ranges can be flexibly controlled to align with the stopband, thus realizing the reflectionless behavior. The proposed input-reflectionless filters are designed, fabricated and measured. The measured −10 dB input-reflectionless bandwidth of the bandpass filter (BPF) is up to 115.6%, covering the stopbands on both sides of the passband. The other main performance is comparable to that of the previously published conventional CMOS filters.","PeriodicalId":13272,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques","volume":"74 10","pages":"9060-9070"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149222524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed architecture combines dual-band couplers with PA stages, achieving interband isolation and diplexed power combining at two target frequencies of 1.4 and 2.5 GHz.
