The metasurfaces may be either purely PRS time-modulated or space-time-modulated by a set of orthogonal PRSs. The PRSs are quasi-random periodic sequences with binary values (±1) and exhibit noise-like wideband spectra. The metasurfaces are assumed to operate in the slow time modulation regime, where the time-variance and frequency-dispersion effects are safely decoupled. In this regime, the bit duration of the PRS is much larger than the transient time associated with temporal dispersion, i.e., than the time for the metasurface to reach the steady regimes in each modulation state. PRS space-time-modulated metasurfaces provide many functionalities that complement those of their deterministic-modulation counterparts. In contrast to these metasurfaces, they massively transform the temporal spectrum of the incident waves, hence providing novel encoding and decoding capabilities. The resulting metasurfaces can perform fundamental operations such as spectrum spreading, interference suppression, and row/cell selection, which are described in detail and which lead to applications such as electromagnetic stealth, secure communication, direction of arrival estimation, and spatial multiplexing.","PeriodicalId":422383,"journal":{"name":"2022 Photonics & Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129604941","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}

Thanks to this software, two different arrangements have been studied: the sawtooth profile and the zigzag profile. In both distributions, the mutual twist rosette is implemented to combine intrinsic chirality, controlled by the mutual twist angle, and extrinsic chirality, controlled by the tilt angle of the arrangements. This combination shows an improvement of the optical activity and/or circular dichroism.","PeriodicalId":422383,"journal":{"name":"2022 Photonics & Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127257028","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}

Nonetheless, because of its low imaging spatial resolution, most of the current methods can only obtain the low-level human detecting information from the TWR signals, for example, the human trunk positions. More complex human information, such as complete pose outline, has remained intractable. In this paper, a novel self-supervised human pose recovery method for TWR based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is proposed. We adopt a self-supervised teacher-student learning pipeline for the method. During training, we attach a camera to the radar to simultaneously collect pairs of RGB images and TWR signals. A vision-based pretrained teacher network extracts human pose information from RGB images and generates the human outline masks as pseudo labels. A student network learns to extract the patterns in corresponding TWR signals and predicts the masks that are close to the labels above. There is no external supervision in the training process, so it is unnecessary to label the dataset manually. After training, the method can recover accurate human pose just from TWR signals. The experiments are conducted in two different scenarios. In a scenario without wall occlusion, we collected synchronized radar signals and images for method training and accuracy evaluation. The quantitative results show comparable predictions with the state-of-the-art methods in non-wallocclusive scenarios. In a wall-occlusive scenario, we solely collect radar signals for generalization evaluation. The accurate qualitative predictions show complete human pose recovery with wall occlusions.","PeriodicalId":422383,"journal":{"name":"2022 Photonics & Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130134103","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}

Diverse radiation patterns can be generated by the FPDMA in both the frequency-domain and the polarization-domain, which can be used as different measurement modes in the coincidence imaging system. The working frequency of the FPDMA is extended to the W-band (76 GHz-81 GHz) to obtain higher resolution. The FPDMA is composed of a feeding module and a phase-random-modulation metasurface. The feeding module is a disordered-cavity, which can generate different internal field distributions at different working frequencies. The frequency-diverse feature of the field distribution would be inherited by the coupling slots and passed on to the radiation patterns of the FPDMA. The phase-random-modulation metasurface contains a variety of different metamaterial elements with different transmission phases and diverse polarization characteristics, which could generate polarization-diverse radiation patterns when excited by electromagnetic waves with different polarization. Therefore, when the disordered-cavity and the metasurface work together, radiation patterns show a dual sensitivity in both the frequency-domain and the polarization-domain. Performances of the FPDMA including the reflection coefficient $(S_{11})$, the radiation efficiency and correlation coefficients of radiation patterns generated under different conditions are evaluated through simulations. A simulated coincidence imaging experiment using the proposed FPDMA is also carried out and the target image is reconstructed successfully. The design is validated through simulated results.","PeriodicalId":422383,"journal":{"name":"2022 Photonics & Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128901524","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 current regulations limit the lowest elevation angle used by WSR-88D to 0.5°, i.e., one-half the antenna beamwidth. However, due to the Earth’s curvature and terrain blockage, more than 70% of the atmosphere below 1 km above ground level cannot be observed, especially when it is far from the radar stations. Unfortunately, that is where most severe weather hazards occur such as floods and tornadoes. Radar hydrometeorology observations and subsequent precipitation estimates will be closer to the ground if they are obtained at lower heights. Recently, the National Weather Service (NWS) has initiated a prototype demonstration of lowering the WSR-88D scan elevation angle to 0° or even lower. The KMUX WSR-88D radar in California is one of the first radar stations that have executed the lower elevation angle scan. Using the KMUX radar as an example, this study quantifies the hydrometeorological impacts of lowering WSR-88D scan elevation angle. In particular, the distribution of polarimetric radar measurements at 0° and 0.5° elevation angles are investigated to highlight the hydrometeor characteristics, especially when the 0.5° beam is shooting or overshooting the melting layer while the 0° beam is observing liquid precipitation regions close to the ground. The enhanced rainfall microphysical structures brought by the 0° scans are investigated to reveal the changes of precipitation during the falling processes. In addition, enhanced radar rainfall algorithms for local application in the San Francisco Bay Area are derived based on raindrop size distribution data, and the enhanced algorithms are compared with operational radar rainfall relations adopted by the WSR-88D systems.","PeriodicalId":422383,"journal":{"name":"2022 Photonics & Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128866312","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 traditional radio monitoring method is detecting the energy data of the target frequency band, which can only represent the final result of the antenna segment and has a little effect on the distribution characteristics of the electromagnetic spectrum. With the rapid development of wireless communication technology and the increasing number and type of radio frequency equipment, the difficulty of managing electromagnetic spectrum resources is also increasing. The electromagnetic spectrum detection methods have gradually been received attention, which are based on radio frequency I/Q sample data. In this paper, a new electromagnetic spectrum detection method named as an RF I/Q sample data set acquisition method based on environmental characteristic parameters which collect the original RF I/Q sample data to improve the detection probability is described. The RF I/Q sample data is the original data of the current electromagnetic spectrum after the wireless signal has undergone environmental propagation loss which contains all the information of the wireless signal in the target frequency band and can be used for subsequent signal analysis and research.
