In this paper, we show that the EEPN and its ovality are both affected by the matched filter bandwidth. The reduction of EEPN by BPS can be more pronouncing when the bandwidth is larger.","PeriodicalId":354610,"journal":{"name":"2023 Photonics & Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128125243","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}

Typically, the accuracy of detected coastlines is assessed visually. This can be impractical on a large scale leading to the need for objective evaluation metrics. Hence, we conduct an experiment to find reliable metrics. We apply Canny edge detection to 95 coastline satellite images across 49 testing locations. We vary the Hysteresis thresholds and compare metric values to a visual analysis of detected edges. We found that FOM was the most reliable metric for selecting the best threshold. It could select a better threshold 92.6% of the time and the best threshold 66.3% of the time. This is compared RMSE, PSNR and SSIM which could select the best threshold 6.3%, 6.3% and 11.6% of the time respectively. We provide a reason for these results by reformulating RMSE, PSNR and SSIM in terms of confusion matrix measures. This suggests these metrics not only fail for this experiment but are not useful for evaluating edge detection in general.","PeriodicalId":354610,"journal":{"name":"2023 Photonics & Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128169235","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}

Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has been used as a model material, which is a ferrimagnetic insulator transparent not only to MW but also to optical and telecommunication frequencies. It also has a very low damping parameter — a property advantageous from the point of view of potential applications. However, this benefit turns out in an issue in the FEM modeling because of the very high non-linearity in the EM properties of YIG near resonances due to uniform or MS modes. We found that it is possible to accelerate the FEM calculations by artificially increasing the damping constant of the model material (YIG). Our FEM modeling studies reveal an excellent agreement with experimental results. In full agreement with experimental data, our modeling study reveals a strong coupling between the YIG crystal and the microwave resonator, observed in the dispersion curves of the modes. We demonstrate the realization of the strong coupling regime, which is especially important for HQS implementations.","PeriodicalId":354610,"journal":{"name":"2023 Photonics & Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS)","volume":"8 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126007545","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}

Forecasting the concentrations of major pollutants such as NO2 and CO can provide early warnings of harmful substances, minimizing health risks and losses. Recent deep learning models have shown promise in air quality prediction, but they have limitations such as insufficient feature representation, high computational costs, and poor generalization. This paper proposes a near-surface deep network (NeSDeepNet) to overcome these limitations. The NeSDeepNet integrates multiple deep learning models and a shallow model to form a hybrid forecasting system. The proposed framework consists of three modules: a preliminary extraction module, a deep extraction module, and a fusion module. The feature extraction module uses a multi-layer network to extract features from air pollutant and meteorological data, and each of which predicts air pollutants for different forecasting horizons. The fusion module combines the outputs of the deep learning module and the shallow models to produce the final prediction results. The proposed framework is evaluated on a real-world dataset, and the experimental results demonstrate that NeSDeepNet achieves optimal RMSE value of 9.59 for NO2 and 274.0 for CO, MAE value of 2.64 for NO2 and 13.75 for CO, and R2 values 0.89 for NO2 and 0.93 for CO, respectively, outperforming cutting-edge deep learning models. Therefore, NeSDeepNet can be a valuable tool for air quality forecasting and miti-gating the adverse effects of air pollution on human health and the environment.

This paper reviews experimental data on the use of RF signal attenuation and signal delay for detecting water in a lab environment and discusses the advantages and limitations of such as system. Measuring the RF signal attenuation as it passes through a material such solid or fissured concrete of a construction beam or the undamaged and tumour tissue of a liver has shown to be an effective imaging technique, in a variety of setting not just structural engineering or medical imaging. This in theory can be applied to sensing water in diagnostic medicine rather than traditional imaging, attempting to sense pulmonary oedema in a continuous fashion. However, RF signal attenuation is also affected by other factors such as the presence of other materials that can interfere with the signal. RF Signal delay involves measuring the time it takes for an RF signal to travel through a medium containing water. It can similarly be used for detecting water. This has been shown to be less affected by interfering materials than RF signal attenuation, and thus may provide more accurate results. This paper goes over experimentation making use of simple robust methods, with an innovative coplanar waveform design, to measure the effects of water on a simple phantom, using dimensions similar to those in the human lung and using a water salt mixture as an analogue to 0.9% saline solution. Polyurethane foam sponges are used to create the phantom of the lung. Water salt mixture was added in 40 g per sponge stages from 0 to 600 g, taking $S_{21}$ transmission readings using a Keysight Fieldfox. Significant reduction in signal gain of up to $0.09times 10^{-3}$ and significant delay of up to 1 nanosecond is seen with maximum saturation, across an 8 cm antenna separation. Overall, the use of RF signal attenuation and signal delay for detecting water in the lungs shows great potential for improving the diagnosis and monitor of pulmonary oedema. With continued research and development, these methods may eventually become a valuable tool for clinicians and researchers alike. Despite the promising results, further research is needed to validate the accuracy and reliability of these methods, as well as to explore their potential for new applications. With continued research and development, RF signal attenuation and signal delay may become valuable tools for a wide range of industries and fields, from agriculture and geology to medicine and beyond.","PeriodicalId":354610,"journal":{"name":"2023 Photonics & Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132560347","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}

In electromagnetic computation, the calculation platform is unable to calculate if the mesh is too dense and the tetrahedral elements are not uniform, hence the mesh must be simplified. This work proposes a Monte Carlo stochastic algorithm-based method for mesh simplification as a solution to the problem that the number of mesh is high relative to the computing platform and their distribution across scales is uneven. The octree was used to evaluate the mesh density in the region, the deletion probability of vertices was calculated, and the reserved points were utilized to renew a set of mesh using the Delaunay triangulation method. The most essential aspect of the Monte-Carlo algorithm is determining the deletion probability of each point to ensure that the freshly created mesh is sparse and uniform. Example of hemisphere will then be provided to demonstrate the mesh simplification effect of this strategy. Compared to previous mesh simplification methods in terms of time cost, memory cost, and calculation results, the outcomes are comparable, and the time and space costs are drastically decreased. Compared to previous simplification methods for tetrahedral mesh, this method is straightforward and user-friendly, with a time complexity of O(N) (where N is the number of vertices) and a space complexity of O(N).","PeriodicalId":354610,"journal":{"name":"2023 Photonics & Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130423301","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}

This paper uses the TSM to study the simulation performance of Durden-Vesecky (DV) spectrum, Apel spectrum and Elfouhaily spectrum in Ku-band. The cutoff wavenumber is one of the most important factors affecting the accuracy of TSM simulation. We simulate the backscattering coefficients by TSM with different cutoff wavenumbers, and compare with the NSCAT-4 geophysical model function (GMF) to find the minimum absolute error. Then these minimum absolute errors are used to calculate the mean absolute error to select the most appropriate wave spectrum model.
