Such benefits provide a deep insight into the device under test (DUT) performance; nevertheless, the realism achieved by OTA tests is still moderate in comparison to open-field tests. This contribution takes the OTA testing method for wireless devices and combines it with the wave field synthesis (WFS) technique to increase the efficiency, reliability and especially the realism of the tests. The main focus of this contribution is to use the aforementioned method to emulate realistic GNSS scenarios inside an anechoic chamber, where multiple virtual satellite signals are electronically generated in the far field along with their individual trajectories. For the validation and verification of the method, a commercial GNSS antenna and receiver are placed as the DUT inside the chamber. The WFS calibration methods implemented in an OTA testbed are described in detail along with the performance analysis obtained by each method. This study strives to establish the foundation for a forthcoming standardisation of the proposed methodology, applicable not only to GNSS devices but also to any variety of wireless devices.","PeriodicalId":13374,"journal":{"name":"Iet Microwaves Antennas & Propagation","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/mia2.70009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work proposes an intelligent design method using a deep learning (DL) technique based on the residual neural network (ResNet) to improve its efficiency. Firstly, adopting pixeled matrix modelling methods enhances the freedom of design. Next, the staircase approximation is utilised for the S-parameter curve, which also describes the required electromagnetic (EM) property to be used in the training process. These processed samples, along with their corresponding labels, are transformed and fed into ResNet for training. After these procedures, the structural matrix of the desired curve can be predicted through well-trained networks. To validate the effectiveness of the method, typical notched-band frequency selective absorbers (FSAs) are designed, while the reflective band can easily be adjusted. Compared with conventional methods and other deep neural network (DNN)-based methods, this method performs more efficiently and accurately. Finally, an illustrative sample is fabricated to validate the prediction result.","PeriodicalId":13374,"journal":{"name":"Iet Microwaves Antennas & Propagation","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/mia2.70007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response to this challenge, a dual-band high-gain conical beam antenna with broad impedance bandwidth based on a nested horn operating at Ku-/Ka-band is presented in this paper. The nested horn excited by metal probes comprises a Ka-band circular waveguide horn and an outer nested Ku-band waveguide horn. The proposed antenna operates in the TM01 mode, demonstrating rotationally symmetrical field distribution, which enables the generation of conical beams. The utilisation of a ridge waveguide further widens the impedance bandwidth. The incorporation of dual reflectors enhances the directivity of electromagnetic wave propagation, leading to increased gain and a fixed beam pointing angle. The measured results show that the proposed antenna operates at 12.8–18 GHz in the Ku-band and 25.2–43.5 GHz in the Ka-band, with relative impedance bandwidths of approximately 33.8% and 53.3%, respectively, covering nearly the entire Ku-band and Ka-band. The peak gain reaches 12.2 dBi at 15 GHz and 16.4 dBi at 40 GHz. Furthermore, the maximum beam pointing angles are maintained at 30° for both frequency bands.","PeriodicalId":13374,"journal":{"name":"Iet Microwaves Antennas & Propagation","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/mia2.70008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143535888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The coupling matrix synthesis with a brief example and a detailed filter design with considerations for additional coupling and in-line and folded topologies is given. Several filter prototypes, namely third-order quad-band and quintuple-band in-line filters and a sixth-order dual-band folded filter in Ku-band, were designed to validate the proposed model. Selective laser melting (SLM), a metal 3-D printing technique where metal powder is selectively melted with a laser layer by layer, was used to fabricate a dual-band folded filter prototype in copper to validate the proposed model since the model has a complex inner geometry. Additionally, selective laser melting has the advantage of monolithic near-net shape fabrication, eliminating assembly, improving reliability, and reducing weight. The measured results show good agreement with the simulations.","PeriodicalId":13374,"journal":{"name":"Iet Microwaves Antennas & Propagation","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/mia2.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143535889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Window glass considers mainly thermal energy efficiency, and it does not consider microwave efficiency too much for wireless communications, particularly in the fixed wireless access scenario, where the window glass is the only non-destructive microwave wireless propagation path between the transmitter outside the house and the signal receiver inside. Regular window glasses induce severe reflections and large penetration loss, resulting in low energy efficiency for 5G/6G communications. This paper provides a new paradigm to obtain the wave efficient window glass with designing the passive and transparent metasurface. Thanks to the glass-metasurface adjoint model and the ABCD-field adjoint analysis, it is not only appropriate for known glasses with detailed dimensions, materials etc, but also compatible with unknown pre-existing glasses such as an encrypted glass model. Moreover, the metasurface design is quite applicable for pre-existing glasses with surface mounting process, rather than the regular integrated manufacturing process in which new glasses and metasurfaces are designed and manufactured together. Spectral transmission enhancement induced by the proposed metasurface is measured, validating the effectiveness of the proposed method. In addition, surface mount process and the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) location are discussed for a limited space. Due to the passive, and low carbon design of the metasurface, the wave efficient glass can be easily obtained, and is compatible with the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) or RIS (Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface) for 5G/6G communications.","PeriodicalId":13374,"journal":{"name":"Iet Microwaves Antennas & Propagation","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/mia2.12546","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143423710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
