The results showed that when the passenger faced the voice antenna, he suffered much greater electromagnetic radiation than when his back in turned from it. The electric field strength, average SAR, and temperature rise of the heart when facing the antenna were 27.3 V/m, 0.0102 W/kg, and 0.0016°C, respectively. Meanwhile, the temperature rise of the pacemaker was 0.001°C. We also obtained the values of electromagnetic dose for the whole body. All data were below the limits of the ICNIRP guidelines.

Mutual interference between vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave radars significantly reduces the accuracy of target parameter estimation and the reliability of target detection. In view of this, this study proposes an interference suppression method that combines the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) algorithm and Variation Index Constant False Alarm Rate (VI-CFAR). First, the method performs adaptive decomposition of the intermediate frequency (IF) signals of an interfered vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave radar by VMD in order to obtain several different intrinsic modal functions (IMFs). Then, the relevant IMFs containing target information are identified based on the spectrograms of each IMF, followed by signal reconstruction of the relevant IMFs using VI-CFAR. Finally, the relevant IMFs are superimposed to complete the signal reconstruction. In the case of simultaneous interference by several different interference radars, the results of simulation experiments show that the method can improve the Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR) of the target and increase the detection of the interfered target to a greater extent than the Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC), Empirical Modal Decomposition (EMD), and Iterative Zeroing methods. According to the SIR results of the simulation experiments, it can be seen that under the static interference of several slightly weak interference sources, the SIR of each target is improved by 8.1, 8.1, 5.8, and 7.9 dB, respectively, after suppressing the interference by the method, whereas in the dynamic cases of simultaneous interference of several strong interference sources and detection of several weak targets, the SIR of each target is improved by 4.6, 2.2, 7.9, and 6.8 dB, respectively.

The geometric complexity of modern antennas makes it difficult for circuit theory tools or parametric studies to produce adequate findings, making it difficult for designers to create the designs they want. Even though full-wave electromagnetic (EM) modeling tools are widely utilized today, they are computationally expensive for local optimization alone. In order to speed up the stages of the simulation-based design of high-performance systems, many strategies have been devised to solve and/or minimize this challenge. Thanks to their adaptability, affordable computing costs, and widespread usage, surrogate-based models have grown to be a well-known branch. Herein, an innovative knowledge-based methodology for building a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed antenna using surrogate models is presented. In this work, a knowledge-based methodology using surrogate modeling is applied as an advanced approach that combines domain-specific knowledge with surrogate models to optimize the performance of a microwave antenna in a computationally efficient manner. For this aim, firstly, a 3D-EM simulator is deployed to generate a dataset for a deep learning-based surrogate model. When compared to the conventional optimization approach using direct deployment of EM simulators which is around 47.2 h, the proposed surrogate model approach has an average cost reduction of over 50% which corresponds to a total computational time of 24.3 h.
