Conventional clutter removal methods suffer from limited clutter removal capability. They either leave residual clutter or deteriorate target reflections. To address the challenges in suppressing clutter in GPR radargrams, we present a deep learning-based method that leverages the powerful learning capability of the deep neural network to remove clutter in diverse real-world scenarios. The network takes the raw GPR radargram as the input, preserves the information related to target reflections and eliminates unwanted clutter features in an encoder-decoder manner, and finally reconstructs the clutter-free radargram. Experimental results demonstrate that the well-trained network successfully removes clutter and restores target reflections with consistent high performance in various real-world scenarios.","PeriodicalId":137840,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131509082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antenna consists of a transition between rectangular and circular waveguides, a septum polarizer for liner-to-circular polarization conversion, and a conical horn for radiation. By employing the 3D printing technique, the configuration printed with resin material will behave as the supporting structure, where the outer walls could be copper plated as boundaries; more importantly, the electric property of cured resin is also utilized to form a septum for phase delaying, finally realizing circular polarization (CP). At the feeding port of the designed horn, the simulation shows a superior reflection of -20 dB, covering the entire Ku band from 12 to 18 GHz. Accordingly, the axial ratio (AR) of CP is within 1.4 dB crossing the operational bandwidth, with realized gains between 9.8 and 12.9 dBi. The proposed work has the advantages of an integrated and compact configuration, light weight, and high fabrication accuracy but with low fabrication cost.","PeriodicalId":137840,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"275 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131627627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The basic radiating element is a $1times 2$ Huygens sub-array realized by two open waveguides and two orthogonally-oriented dipole plates. The dipole plates are connected to the waveguide openings. In this manner, two pairs of Huygens electric and magnetic radiators are formed on the antenna aperture. A reflector with the same size as the radiating aperture is placed below it as a current choke to mitigate the fields scattered from its edges. High aperture efficiency is realized because almost the entire aperture is utilized for the co-polarized radiation. Moreover, an expanded $4times 8$ array is designed whose elements are excited with the same amplitude and phase by a 1 to 32 waveguide feed network. The -10-dB impedance bandwidth covers 11.3% from 26.4 to 29.55 GHz.

Generally, LWAs require a termination load to absorb the power remaining in their waveguide after the excitation wave has propagated beyond their radiating elements. This feature decreases the gain and efficiency of the antenna. To avoid this issue, power recycling is achieved with the innovative closed-path toroidal-waveguide based leaky-wave antenna developed in this work. Two simple coaxial feeds are employed to generate a closed-path traveling wave in the toroidal waveguide. By utilizing a circular array of L-shaped linearly polarized (LP) radiators integrated into this waveguide, the developed LWA realizes a directive beam with a realized gain of 13.2 dBi at 9.75 GHz.
