The array antenna is commonly used in many applications due to its advantages, such as high gain and wide bandwidth. This paper presents an advanced design of a horizontally steerable planar antenna array intended for significant radar applications. A novel structure is used to create a compact array antenna of 8 × 3 elements. The design features a comprehensive 60° steering sector alongside a notable 12% bandwidth (4.45—5.42 GHz), using 8 × 3 planar array in an novel configuration. A three-element series-fed vertical array is utilized, employing aperture feeds with precisely sized patches to maximize performance. A detailed description of the design and refinement process of this array is presented, with emphasis on its exceptional capabilities for horizontal steering and bandwidth efficiency. By employing series-fed vertical arrays with variable patch dimensions, we have successfully developed an antenna array that meets the stringent bandwidth requirements essential for radar technology, thereby enhancing the operational versatility of radar systems.","PeriodicalId":49638,"journal":{"name":"Radio Science","volume":"59 8","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142130282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed hologram performs wide-range frequency beam scanning with minimum gain losses and cross-polarization levels. It comprises 2,500 diagonal slotted octagonal subwavelength metasurfaces with a periodicity of 0.266λ\u0000<inf>0</inf>\u0000 = 4 mm at 20 GHz as the center frequency. Two equations are defined to compute Y\u0000<inf>11</inf>\u0000 of the proposed unit cell regarding its dimensions for TE(0,0) and TM(0,0) Floquet modes. They significantly simplify the coding procedure and reduce the computational time for synthesizing the hologram. The antenna is simulated using the CST software from 14 to 25 GHz. As a confirmation, a prototype is manufactured and measured at 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24 GHz to verify its performance. The simulated and measured results are well-matched. The presented hologram achieves 40% 1.8-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth (16–25 GHz), 40% 3.3-dB gain bandwidth (16–24 GHz), and above 30% 2-dB gain bandwidth (16–22 GHz). Moreover, the antenna can perform beam scanning from 42° to 24° by changing the frequency from 16 to 24 GHz with peak gain values greater than 20.33 dBi. The LHCP pencil beams are at least 24° off-broadside, so the proposed hologram avoids the feed blockage. These achievements make the hologram one of the best candidates for satellite communications, radar applications, short-range communication, and point-to-point communication.","PeriodicalId":49638,"journal":{"name":"Radio Science","volume":"59 8","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142130259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These profiles have been widely used in the field of meteorological observation. Due to the inherent fragility of neural networks, one of the important issues in this field is to improve the reliability and stability of MWR profiles based on neural network inversion. We propose a deep learning method that adds noise to the BP neural network inversion (NBPNN) process. Comparison of the radiosonde data and NBPNN results shows that if the error of MWR brightness temperature is in the range of − 2−2 K, the root-mean-square error (RMSE) of the temperature profile is 2.15 K, and the RMSE of the relative humidity profile is 19.46 % inverted by NBPNN. The results are much less than the errors of the temperature profile and relative humidity profile inverted by the traditional backpropagation neural network inverse method. From the comparison, we demonstrated that NBPNN significantly increases the inversion accuracy and robustness under the condition of errors in brightness temperature, which can reduce requirements for BT accuracy of MWR and achieve MWR long-term stability.","PeriodicalId":49638,"journal":{"name":"Radio Science","volume":"59 7","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141714228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the development of short-range communication technology or microwave power transmission technology, the demand for focusing has also increased. Using metasurface arrays to achieve multi-target focusing has wide application value. However, as the number of focal points increases, the superposition of electromagnetic wave propagation paths leads to significant interference phenomena, which can impact potential applications. Existing solutions are unable to solve such complex problems involving a large number of targets with conflicts between them. Multi-objective algorithms, by iteratively obtaining a set of optimal solutions, provide decision support for designers in complex multi-objective problems. This paper alters the phase of cells in a reflective array, calculates the near-field electric field model using the Fresnel diffraction formula, and employs various solutions using the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm III (NSGA-III) combined with different constraints. Finally, we select the balanced solution to establish the array. After simulation, three adjacent focal points with normalized central values of 1, 0.86, and 0.88 were obtained, with the maximum electric field value outside the focal points being only 0.58, demonstrating the feasibility of multi-objective algorithms in solving complex multi-focal problems.","PeriodicalId":49638,"journal":{"name":"Radio Science","volume":"59 7","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141847155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the focusing mechanism by manipulating the geometrical curvatures of the waveguide lens, the angular scan range is limited in the conventional waveguide lens design using dual-focal points of excitations because the geometrical curvatures of the waveguide lens only provide two design freedoms. To overcome this limitation, a solution of treating the waveguide lens as a transmit array consisting of non-identical elements is proposed so that each element of the antenna array can be well calibrated to improve the maximum scan angular range, where a third focus point of excitation can be created by adding another design freedom from the differentiation between non-identical elements. Each element of this new transmitting array can be well calibrated with the help of a mathematical expression to improve the maximum angular scan range. Numerical simulations show that the proposed antenna architecture exhibits better radiation characteristics than the traditional waveguide lens antenna. Radiation characteristics are studied and compared for both types of lens antennas to validate the design concept. The proposed triple-focal point provides a higher gain than the traditional lens antenna with fewer antenna elements. The gains of the beams at ±10°, ±20°, ±30°, and ±40° are found to be 27.78, 26.94, 26.19, and 24.04 dBi, respectively. From the comparison, it is seen that the variation in gain by the proposed triple-focal array design is more stable than the conventional dual-focal point design.","PeriodicalId":49638,"journal":{"name":"Radio Science","volume":"59 7","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141847358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
