The dual-CP performance is realized based on the symmetrical septum circular polarizer based on the gap waveguide (GWG) technology. Two sets of symmetrical septum circular polarizers are used for common aperture combination,achieving the broadband dual-CP characteristics. Taking advantage of GWG structure without good electrical contact, the antenna can also be fabricated and assembled easily in the mmW band. The principle analysis of the antenna is given, and the antenna is simulated and fabricated. The measured results show that the bandwidth for S11lower than-10.7 dB and the axial ratio (AR) lower than 2.90 dB in 75-110 GHz, with realative bandwidth of 38%. Over the frequency band, the gain is higher than 9.16 dBic, and the dual-CP port isolation is greater than32 dB. The proposed antenna with dual-CP and highly isolated in a wide bandwidth range has broad application prospects in the field of mmW communication.展开更多

The radiation patches consist of a shortedannular-ring reduced-surface-wave（SAR-RSW） element and an inverted-shorted-annular-ring reduced-surface-wave（ISAR-RSW）element. One key feature of the design is the proximity-coupled probe feeds to increase impedance bandwidth. The other is the defected ground structure band rejection filters to suppress the interaction effect between the SAR-RSW and the ISAR-RSW elements. In addition, trans-directional couplers are used to obtain tight coupling. Measurement results indicate that the antenna has a larger than 10 d B return loss bandwidth and a less than 3 d B axial-ratio（AR） bandwidth in the range of（1.164 – 1.255） GHz and（1.552 – 1.610） GHz.

The result suggests that, although the far-field THz radiation originates from the in-gap photocurrent, the antenna structure of butterfly-shaped PCA dominates the overall THz radiation. In addition, to explore the impact of photoconductive material,radiation properties of butterfly-shaped PCAs fabricated on both low-temperature-grown GaAs(LT-GaAs) and semi-insulating GaAs(Si-GaAs) were characterized and compared. Consistent with previous experiments, it is observed that while Si-GaAs-based PCA can emit higher THz field than LT-GaAs-based PCA at low laser power, it would saturate more severely as laser power increased and eventually be surpassed by LT-GaAs-based PCA. Beyond that, it is found the severe saturation effect of Si-GaAs was due to the longer carrier lifetime and higher carrier mobility, which was confirmed by the numerical simulation.展开更多

文摘An equivalent microstrip antenna used in radio proximity fuse is presented.The design of this antenna is based on multilayer multipermittivity dielectric substrate which is analyzed by finite difference time domain(FDTD) method.Equivalent iterative formula is modified in the condition of cylindrical coordinate system.The mixed substrate which contains two kinds of media(one of them is air)takes the place of original single substrate.The results of equivalent antenna simulation show that the resonant frequency of equivalent antenna is similar to that of the original antenna.The validity of analysis can be validated by means of antenna resonant frequency formula.Two antennas have same radiation pattern and similar gain.This method can be used to reduce the weight of antenna,which is significant to the design of missile-borne antenna.

文摘A pre-processing blind muhiuser detection algorithms based on the least squares constant modulus （P-LSCMA） using antenna array is proposed in this paper. It first uses the signals received from every antenna to correlate with the conjugation of the DoA vector of the expected user, and then applies the pre-processed signals to the LSCMA. We simulate and compare the proposed algorithm with the conventional LSCMA. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to LSCMA.
