The use of the traditional all-level electromagnetic radiation method for the effect of the actual installed EED test in the electromagnetic environment simulation encountered a technical bottleneck. The microwave band is difficult to effectively assess through the current standing wave distribution and skin effect. The temperature rise of the EED bridge wire has no relationship with the frequency of the electromagnetic wave. In this paper, through the analysis of the electromagnetic effect mechanism of the EED, the coupled power model of electromagnetic irradiation of the EED is obtained, and the relationship between the temperature rise of the bridge wire of the EED and the electric field strength model is established. Under the action of high-frequency continuous waves, the electromagnetic effect of the device is tested to verify the correctness of the mechanism analysis of the electromagnetic effect of the device under the action of continuous waves. The results provide crucial technical support for the electromagnetic protection of the device under the harsh electromagnetic environment of the battlefield.","PeriodicalId":54392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140361272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By adjusting the louver-shaped DGS, the output amplitude and phase of the corresponding ports can be altered, minimizing deviations from theoretical values. This enables antenna arrays equipped with this feeding network to more easily achieve low sidelobe performance. The impact of the louver-shaped DGS on the amplitude and phase of each port in the power divider within the feeding network is analyzed, and a 16-channel feeding network incorporating the louver-shaped DGS has been designed, fabricated, and then measured. The test results indicate that the performance of the line-feeding network is effectively improved by designing and adjusting the louver-shaped DGS. Through the debugging procedure, the amplitude deviation of the feeding network has been reduced from ±0.45 dB to ±0.2 dB, while the phase deviation of the feeding network has been reduced from ±8° to ±2.5°, and the maximum value of the first sidelobe has been reduced from −24.2 dB to −28.1 dB.","PeriodicalId":54392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140301913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The envisioned antenna is built up of four microstrip fractal-based circular patch elements, each of which is fed by a microstrip line with a 50-ohm impedance. The use of a defective ground plane allows for the ultra-wideband frequency response to be obtained. In order to achieve maximal isolation, the amount of surface current that flow between the antenna’s four components is limited by arranging radiating elements orthogonally. The four-port MIMO system is printed on a FR4 substrate with a loss tangent of 0.02 and an overall dimension of 20 × 30 × 1.6 mm³. A port-to-port isolation of less than 25 dB was achieved as a consequence of this orthogonal orientation of antenna elements, and the impedance bandwidth is achieved up to 158% (3.1–12 GHz). The suggested ultra-wideband multiple-input multiple-output (UWB-MIMO) antenna achieved a maximum gain of 8 dBi over the operational frequency range (3.1–12 GHz); the findings that were measured and those that were simulated accord with one another rather well.

With the constant development of image generation techniques, automatic compositing of advertisement images has also been widely studied. However, the existing algorithms cannot synthesise consistent-looking advertisement images for a given product. The key challenge is to stitch a given product into a scene that matches the style of the product while maintaining a consistent-looking. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new two-stage automatic advertisement image generation model, called Advertisement Synthesis Network (ASNet), which explores a two-stage generation framework to synthesise consistent-looking product advertisement images. Specifically, ASNet first generates a preliminary target product scene using Pre-Synthesis and then extracts scene features using Pseudo-Target Object Encoder (PTOE) and true target features using Real Target Object Encoder (RTOE), respectively. Finally, we inject the acquired features into the pretrained diffusion model and reconstruct them in the preliminary generated target goods scene. Extensive experiments have shown that the method achieves better results in all three performance metrics related to the quality of the synthesised image compared to other methods. In addition, we have done a simple and preliminary study on the effect of synthetic advertisement images on real consumers’ purchase intention and brand perception. The results of the study show that the advertisement images synthesised by the model proposed in this paper have a positive impact on consumer purchase intention and brand perception.","PeriodicalId":54392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140154755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the electromagnetic field simulation software FEKO, the influence of vertical rotation and horizontal rotation of RMBMA on the radiation magnetic field is analyzed. The magnetic field distribution and magnetic field attenuation characteristics of RMBMA at different depths are obtained by simulation. The influence of RMBMA operating frequency and magnetic moment on the propagation characteristics is studied. The research shows that the horizontal rotation of the magnetic source is better than the vertical rotation in the long-distance underwater communication. When the magnetic source and the receiving point are close to the interface of the medium, the magnetic field strength and the propagation distance can be relatively increased. With appropriate frequency and magnetic moment, the magnetic field strength and communication distance can be further increased.","PeriodicalId":54392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140127555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The expression comes from a three-step analytical procedure. First, the integral expression for the flux linkage is converted into a double integral consisting of a finite and a semi-infinite integral. Next, the semi-infinite integral is recognized to be a well-known tabulated Sommerfeld integral, which may be analytically evaluated straightforwardly. Finally, applying Lommel’s expansion allows rewriting the remaining finite integral as a sum of elementary integrals amenable to analytical evaluation. As a result, the flux linkage between the two coils is given as a sum of spherical Hankel functions of the wavenumber in the air and in the ground, multiplied by a coefficient depending on the geometrical dimensions of the coils. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed formulation is tested by comparing its outcomes with those generated by numerical integration of the complete integral representation for the flux linkage and with the results provided by previous analytical approaches to the same problem. It is found that the use of the derived expression for the inductance makes it possible to obtain significant time savings as compared to numerical quadrature schemes.","PeriodicalId":54392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140075268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Woldegebreal, Sofie Pollin","doi":"10.1155/2024/9062023","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2024/9062023","url":null,"abstract":"Providing global coverage for ubiquitous users is a key requirement of the fifth generation (5G) and beyond wireless technologies. This can be achieved by integrating airborne networks, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellite networks, with terrestrial networks. However, the deployment of airborne networks in a three-dimensional (3D) or volumetric space requires a new understanding of the propagation channel and its losses in both the areal and altitude dimensions. Despite significant research on radio environment map (REM) construction, much of it has been limited to two-dimensional (2D) contexts. This neglects the altitude-related characteristics of electromagnetic wave propagation and confines REMs to 2D formats, which limits the comprehensive and continuous visualization of propagation environment variation in spatial dimensions. This paper proposes a volumetric REM (VREM) construction approach to compute 3D propagation losses. The proposed approach addresses the limitations of existing approaches by learning the spatial correlation of wireless propagation channel characteristics and visualizing REM in areal and height/altitude dimensions using deep learning models. Specifically, the approach uses two deep learning-based models: volume-to-volume (Vol2Vol) VREM with 3D-generative adversarial networks and sliced VREM with altitude-aware spider-UNets. In both cases, knowledge of the propagation environment and transmitter locations in 3D space is used to capture the spatial and altitude dependency of the propagation channel’s characteristics. We developed the Addis dataset, a large REM dataset comprising 54,000 samples collected from the urban part of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to train the proposed models. Each sample of data comprises a 512-meter by 512-meter areal resolution with different 3D obstacles (buildings and terrain), 15 simulated propagation loss maps at every 3-meter altitude resolution, and 80 different 3D transmitter locations. The results of the training and testing of the proposed models reveal that the constructed VREMs are statistically comparable. In particular, the Vol2Vol approach has a minimum L1 loss of 0.01, which further decreases to 0.0084 as the line-of-sight (LoS) probability increases to 0.95.","PeriodicalId":54392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139968387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
