Propagation Experiment at Ka-Band in French Guiana: First Year of Measurements
摘要： ONERA, the French Aerospace Lab, and CNES, the French Space Agency, are currently running a Ka-band propagation experiment at the Guiana Space Centre (CSG) in Kourou (French Guiana). A rain gauge and a beacon receiver able to record the 20.2 GHz beacon signal of the Amazonas 3 satellite have been deployed. The equipment is operational since January 1, 2017 and the duration of the experiment has been set to 3 years. This letter addresses some results of the first year of measurements (from January 2017 to December 2017). The annual and monthly Complementary Cumulative Distribution Functions of rainfall rate and rain attenuation are presented as well as a comparison with the rain attenuation prediction method recommended in ITU-R P.618-13.

[IEEE 2018 International Conference on Radar (RADAR) - Brisbane, Australia (2018.8.27-2018.8.31)] 2018 International Conference on Radar (RADAR) - Real Aperture Imaging Using Sparse Optimisation with Application to Low-Angle Tracking
摘要： Estimating the angle of arrival of a low-altitude target over the sea surface is made difficult due to the coherent multipath interference caused by the target image. A real aperture imaging technique for estimating azimuth and elevation of targets using a phased array multichannel radar, as described by Berry et al [1], is applied to this classical problem of suppressing low-angle multipath signals received by a naval radar from a low-flying target. The degree of spatial resolution which can be usefully attained is explored; this depends on many factors and the nonlinear problem formulation is not easily amenable to analysis. It is found that the technique is feasible for resolving the direct target signal, its specular reflection and multiple diffuse reflections even when the signals would be combined by a conventional beamformer to form a multipath null.

Generalized Friis Transmission Equation for Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) Radios
摘要： Generalization of a Friis transmission equation for orbital angular momentum (OAM) radios is rigorously formulated using the Lorentz reciprocity theorem and a near-and-far-field convolution integral (NFCI). Based on the discretization of NFCIs, we computed the generalized Friis transmission equation to obtain the power-receiving behaviors of practical helicoidal parabolic reflector antennas (HPRAs) with continuously deformed surfaces. A simplified Friis equation is also used for computing the link budget and approximate Rayleigh length of discrete uniform circular arrays (UCAs) composed of 2×2 dipole antennas. The transmission coefficients for the given OAM modes, represented by our equations for the HPRA and UCA, agree very well with commercial numerical simulators. In addition, an mth-order NFCI, which is an orthogonal convolution integral for the mth OAM mode, is proposed to define a figure of merit for the OAM mode purity of transmitting and receiving antennas.

Generation of polarization-sensitive modulated optical vortices with all-dielectric metasurfaces
摘要： Optical vortices (OVs) created from helical modes of light have extensive applications in optical manipulation, imaging and optical communications. Moreover, modulated optical vortices (MOVs) with modified wavefronts could provide new opportunities for fractionating particles and actuating microelectromechanical systems. Traditional devices for generating MOVs include spatial light modulators, spiral phase plates etc. However, such bulky devices are difficult to be applied to high-level integrated optical systems. Besides, other MOV generators are typically static and polarization-insensitive. Here, we proposed an all-dielectric metasurface to generate polarization-sensitive MOVs. The intensity patterns of the OVs can be modulated by adding a tangential modulation factor in the phase profile. Independent manipulation of two orthogonal polarizations was adopted via tailoring the geometric parameters of silicon (Si) pillars. We experimentally demonstrated that the metasurface could generate a doughnut and an actinomorphic vortex beams for different polarization inputs. In addition, the intensity pattern of the MOVs can be dynamically tuned by adjusting the polarization angle. This work can benefit optical manipulation and can be further extended to visible and near-infrared bands.

Modeling of Short-Range Ultraviolet Communication Channel Based on Spherical Coordinate System
摘要： The study on short-range ultraviolet (UV) communication (UVC) channel modeling is often based on prolate-spheroidal coordinate system in previous studies. In this letter, we propose a single scattering coplanar model based on spherical coordinate system, where the transmitter beam and receiver field of view (FOV) can point arbitrarily under the limitation that the sum of transceiver elevation angles and half of their own FOV is less than 180°, and the transmitter beam and receiver FOV are above ground. We utilize the number of intersections between a special ray on the transmitter cone and the receiver conical surface to distinguish the UVC scenarios, which makes the analysis of UVC channel modeling comprehensible. Meanwhile, we validate the proposed model in comparison with the single scattering model and the Monte Carlo simulation model through numerical calculations. The results show that the proposed model agrees well with the both models. This work presents a new method to estimate the path loss of short-range UVC and provides guidelines for the experimental system design.

Frozen Gaussian approximation for high frequency wave propagation in periodic media
摘要： Propagation of high-frequency wave in periodic media is a challenging problem due to the existence of multiscale characterized by short wavelength, small lattice constant and large physical domain size. Conventional computational methods lead to extremely expensive costs, especially in high dimensions. In this paper, based on Bloch decomposition and asymptotic analysis in the phase space, we derive the frozen Gaussian approximation for high-frequency wave propagation in periodic media and establish its converge to the true solution. The formulation leads to ef?cient numerical algorithms, which are presented in a companion paper [SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 38 (2016), A2440–A2463].

Ultrathin Microwave Devices for Polarization-Dependent Wavefront Shaping Based on an Anisotropic Metasurface
摘要： Metasurfaces have recently become a promising material, offering new degrees of freedom in molding electromagnetic wave properties. In this work, we propose and numerically investigate ultrathin microwave devices for polarization-dependent wavefront shaping based on an anisotropic metasurface, which consists of a square metal ring with a cross, a dielectric substrate, and a metal ground plane. It is demonstrated the proposed metasurface can independently manipulate reflective x- and y-polarized wavefronts at frequency of 15 GHz via engineering of the metal cross. Furthermore, the reflective efficient is extremely high, reaching a near-unity value of 0.98. Based on this anisotropic metasurface, a polarization beam splitter is achieved by artificially arranging the spatial distribution of metasurfaces with prescribed geometries. In addition, we successfully design a focusing metasurface to separate the x- and y-polarized beams via focusing them at different positions. The proposed approach paves a way toward the applications of the metasurface in a microwave band.

Three-Dimensional Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy for Final Stage of Crack Growth of Chromium Molybdenum Steel SCM440
摘要： Crack propagation around the stress concentration area causes fatigue failure. Non-destructive method is necessary for monitoring structure fatigue before destruction. We focused on a magnetic non-destructive evaluation method for crack growth. In order to understand the relation between crack propagation and changes in magnetic flux density, we observed the position of the positive and negative magnetic flux density distributions around the crack of tool steel (SCM440) plate using a scanning Hall probe microscope (SHPM). We found that the vertical component of the three-dimensional magnetic flux density moved as the crack growth. Furthermore, the magnetic component which is parallel to the tensile stress appeared just before destruction of the specimen.

Propagation of Lorentz beam in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media
摘要： Based on the Collins formula in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media (SNNM), the analytical expression for Lorentz beam passing through SNNM has been derived. It is found that the propagation behavior of Lorentz beam is variable and closely related to the parameters of initial ellipticity p and input power. The beam has its own critical power in x and y directions, respectively. If the Lorentz beam with critical power in a certain direction enters in SNNM, its beam width will remain constant in that direction during propagation, otherwise its beam width varies periodically, as either broad or compressed. Moreover, when p ? 1, the beam spot is always symmetrical in x and y directions; when p 6? 1, the beam spot is no longer symmetrical in x and y directions. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate these quintessential propagation properties.

Propagation properties of a partially coherent anomalous hollow vortex beam in underwater oceanic turbulence
摘要： Based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle, the cross-spectral density function of a partially coherent anomalous hollow vortex beam (AHVB) propagating in underwater oceanic turbulence has been derived, and the influences of the beam parameters and underwater oceanic turbulence on the average intensity and coherence properties are investigated by using numerical examples. Our results show that the partially coherent AHVB with smaller coherence length and smaller M will evolve into the flat-topped faster as the propagation distance increases, and the partially coherent AHVB propagating in stronger underwater oceanic turbulence (the larger χT and ? or the smaller ε) will lose the initial dark hollow center and evolve into the Gaussian beam more rapidly. In the influences of oceanic turbulence on the spreading of partially coherent AHVB, it is found that the parameters χT and ? will cause the larger spreading than the parameter ε at the same propagation distance. This research is useful to the practical application of the partially coherent AHVB beam in underwater oceanic turbulence.
