In this paper, a low radar cross section (RCS) patch antenna based on the 3-bit metasurface composed of linear polarization conversion elements is designed. At first, 3-bit coding metamaterials are constructed by a sequence of eight coded unit cells, which have a similar cross-polarized reflected amplitude response and gradient reflected phase responses covering 0~2{pi}, respectively. Equivalent circuit models (ECMs) of these unit cells are created to describe their electrical behavior for the two linear incident polarizations at the same time. Then, a patch antenna is integrated on the 3-bit metasurface, of which the elements are placed with a 2-dimensional linear coding sequence. The metal square ring is set around the patch antenna to protect it from the disturbance of metasurface. Both the simulation and experiment results demonstrate that the designed metasurface can primarily reduce the antenna RCS at a broadband, while the antenna performances are not degraded significantly.

Antenna technology is at the basis of ubiquitous wireless communication systems and sensors. Radiation is typically sustained by conduction currents flowing around resonant metallic objects that are optimized to enhance efficiency and bandwidth. Howe
ver, resonant conductors are prone to large scattering of impinging waves, leading to challenges in crowded antenna environments due to blockage and distortion. Metasurface cloaks have been explored in the quest of addressing this challenge by reducing antenna scattering, but with limited performance in terms of bandwidth, footprint and overall scattering reduction. Here we introduce a different route towards radio-transparent antennas, in which the cloak itself acts as the radiating element, drastically reducing the overall footprint while enhancing scattering suppression and bandwidth, without sacrificing other relevant radiation metrics compared to conventional antennas. This technique offers a new application of cloaking technology, with promising features for crowded wireless communication platforms and noninvasive sensing.
Solar arrays are the primary energy source of the satellite. In this paper, a metamaterial absorber for solar arrays with simultaneous high optical transparency and broadband microwave absorption is presented. By tailoring the reflection response of
meta-atoms, 85% absorption performance from 6.8GHz to 18GHz is obtained. In the meantime, by employing transparent substrates, including indium tin oxide (ITO) film and anti-reflection glass, a maximum of 87% light transmittance is achieved. The absorptivity of the proposed metamaterial absorber is simulated and measured experimentally. Light transmittance and the effect of transparent metamaterial absorber on the conversion efficiency of the solar array have also been measured. These results fully demonstrate the reliability of our design for solar arrays, which also meet the requirements of structural strength, atomic oxygen erosion resistance, weight limitation, etc.
In this paper, a novel concept of a leaky-wave antenna is proposed, based on the use of Huygens metasurfaces. It consists of a parallel-plate waveguide in which the top plate is replaced by a bianisotropic metasurface of the Omega type. It is shown t
hat there is an exact solution to transform the guided mode into a leaky-mode with arbitrary control of the constant leakage factor and the pointing direction. Although the solution turns out to be periodic, only one Floquet mode is excited and radiates, even for electrically long periods. Thanks to the intrinsic spurious Floquet mode suppression, broadside radiation can be achieved without any degradation. Simulations with idealized reactance sheets verify the concept. Moreover, physical structures compatible with PCB fabrication have been proposed and designed, considering aspects such as the effect of losses. Finally, experimental results of two prototypes are presented and discussed.
The dual harmonic system has been widely used in high intensity proton synchrotrons to suppress the space charge effect, as well as reduce the beam loss. To investigate the longitudinal beam dynamics in the dual rf system, the potential well, the sub
-buckets in the bunch and the multi-solutions of the phase equation have been studied theoretically. Based on these theoretical studis, the optimization of bunching factor and rf voltage waveform are made for the dual harmonic rf system in the upgrade phase of the CSNS/RCS. In the optimization process, the simulation with space charge effect is done by using a newly developed code C-SCSIM.
A room-temperature mid-infrared (9 um) heterodyne system based on high-performance unipolar optoelectronic devices is presented. The local oscillator (LO) is a quantum cascade laser, while the receiver is an antenna coupled quantum well infrared phot
odetector optimized to operate in a microcavity configuration. Measurements of the saturation intensity show that these receivers have a linear response up to very high optical power, an essential feature for heterodyne detection. By an accurate passive stabilization of the local oscillator and minimizing the optical feed-back the system reaches, at room temperature, a record value of noise equivalent power of 30 pW at 9um. Finally, it is demonstrated that the injection of microwave signal into our receivers shifts the heterodyne beating over the bandwidth of the devices. This mixing property is a unique valuable function of these devices for signal treatment.
