To enhance scanning capabilities, these lenses have their back part and associated feed array magnified relative to the front part. It is also shown that the radiating elements constituting the front part of the lens, due to the shape of their element factor, tend to limit the pointing direction of the overall antenna pattern, but their influence decreases as the lens dimension. Accordingly, a large front array is chosen to scan wide angles and mitigate this limitation. For the preliminary dimensioning and design of the entire BFN, a Geometrical Optics (GO) technique is employed. Subsequently, a rigorous methodology exploiting boundary conditions in the planes of symmetry is implemented to simulate the full-wave behavior of the front array of the lens, which is challenging due to limited computational resources for large arrays. This methodology, which also exploits the even/odd concept, is validated using a small array as a test case. By employing both the GO technique and rigorous full-wave analysis, it is numerically verified that this type of lens system can produce beams pointing up to 70° from the boresight direction while maintaining good levels of cross-polar discrimination in all azimuthal planes. Additionally, numerical evidence shows that these magnified lenses can increase their FoV compared to lenses with equal back and front sizes, reaching approximately 50° of scanning. The multibeam features of this lens are also numerically validated.","PeriodicalId":34267,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":"6 1","pages":"98-109"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10697111","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143107002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address the challenges posed by ISP, iterative linearization techniques have been introduced alongside regularization procedures. Born Iterative Method (BIM) and Distorted Born Iterative Method (DBIM) are well-established approaches in the field of microwave imaging. The primary objective of our study was to conduct a comparative analysis to evaluate the performance of traditional regularization techniques such as Truncated Singular Value Decomposition (TSVD), Tikhonov regularization, and the truncated Landweber algorithm with choosing different regularization parameters, within the framework of these established methods. The lack of explicit mention of optimal parameter values and comparison of regularization methods highlights a gap in the existing literature. Investigating and comparing different regularization methods and their corresponding optimal parameter values for different structures and features within the framework of linearization methods can provide valuable insights into effectively solving inverse problems in MWI. Additionally, exploring how different regularization parameters impact the accuracy and stability of the solutions obtained through BIM and DBIM can help researchers and practitioners make informed decisions to choose a regularization method and its corresponding parameter value for a specific problem. Our research aimed to provide a comprehensive baseline that would be beneficial for future studies and practical applications in microwave imaging.","PeriodicalId":34267,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":"5 6","pages":"1523-1538"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10695748","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142679244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typical features of underground tunnels (sidewall roughness, metal conductors, tunnel inclinations, etc.) significantly affect signal propagation, making it difficult for a single modeling approach to accurately describe the field strength attenuation of a wireless channel in an underground tunnel. In this paper, a hybrid model describing the propagation attenuation of wireless signals in underground tunnels is proposed, which divides the propagation channel into three subdomains according to the length of the tunnel, namely, the region of the free space propagation model, the region of the multimode propagation described by the ray tracing method, and the region of the improved waveguide model by adding the influences of tunnel roughness, tunnel inclination, and metal pipes. The determination of the breakpoints separating each region depends on the variation of the angle between the arrival direction of the signal ray and the axial direction of the tunnel. The proposed channel model is validated by simulation and experimental measurements, and the results show that the proposed model agrees well with the measured data and outperforms the current most advanced channel propagation fading model, with a 16.2% reduction of model error for the empty straight tunnel, and a 32.0% reduction of model error for the tunnel with metal pipes.","PeriodicalId":34267,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":"6 1","pages":"64-74"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10690171","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143107073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article briefly presents a series of combinations of metasurface and antennas from the perspective of design methods and innovative features, which are divided into three sections: performance improvement, function manipulation and other applications. In the section of performance improvement, three typical applications of metasurface are presented, including using non-periodic metasurfaces to raise aperture efficiency, introducing multi-mode resonance metasurfaces to expand bandwidth, and introducing capacitive loading metasurfaces for miniaturization. As for function manipulation, due to the high design freedom of metasurface, multi-polarization reconfigurability can be achieved by changing the surface impedance distribution. Moreover, it can be used as radiators and excited by traveling wave to achieve beam steering or combined with phase change materials to realize frequency reconfiguration. The last part is about the further applications of metasurface, including multi-folding reflectarray/transmitarray, wide-angle scanning phased array antenna, and filtering antenna. In conclusion, the researches of metasurface have overcome the shortcomings of conventional antennas and proposed some good solutions to realize innovative antennas.","PeriodicalId":34267,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":"6 1","pages":"6-24"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10685482","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143107123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In wireless communications, signal geofencing might be beneficial in increasing communication secrecy or reduce interference issues, but system communications through frequency diverse arrays require careful consideration about several design parameters. In this paper, a detailed analysis of the sensitivity of the geofencing effectiveness to the main array parameters is carried out. The analysis covers many aspects of the design, including the selection of the geometrical layout and the number of elements of the array, the frequency increase policy and the frequency offset across the elements and their spacing. The study also discusses the trade-offs between different design choices and provides insights into the performance in terms of focus efficiency and size of the focus area. Results show that bidimensional layouts, e.g., circular or planar, often represent effective solutions, whereas the linear arrangement can be a viable option only in case the frequencies are spread across the elements in a random-like fashion. Frequencies are usually increased according to either a logarithmic or a linear policy. The linear solution in general yields lower performance, but also lower complexity. Frequency offset, number of elements and their spacing represent further project parameters. Finally, a preliminary assessment of the multipath effect on the focus task shows that the performance of frequency diverse arrays can be affected by complex propagation conditions and deserve further investigations.","PeriodicalId":34267,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":"6 1","pages":"51-63"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10685467","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143107072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
