This article presents a metal-only reflectarray that enables the control of incident orthogonal polarizations in a large bandwidth. The proposed reflectarray is based on a unit cell whose tuning elements allow the independent control of the reflection phase value for the vertical and horizontal impinging polarizations. Due to the symmetry of the un...
A planar antenna array exhibiting polarization-switchable endfire and ±broadside radiation without the employment of lumped components is proposed. The antenna is denoted as symmetrically stacked planar antenna (SSPA), which utilizes the phase difference between the top and bottom patches to enable dual-linear/circular polarized hemispheric radiati...
In the sub-THz frequency range, the geodesic lens can realize low losses and beam scanning capability with high gain and high aperture efficiency due to its fully metallic property and rotational symmetry. Therefore, in high-frequency applications, a geodesic lens is considered a more promising solution in comparison to phased arrays or other beamf...
A low-cost dual linearly-polarized transmitarray antenna (TA) is presented for 5G and beyond networks at D-band. This TA is made of 40 40 unit-cells (UCs) and is illuminated by a stepped feed horn with a F/D ratio equal to 0.75. The flat lens panel is based on UCs with six different phase states at the center frequency of 150 GHz (thus leading in a...
Underlying topography plays an important role in the national economic construction, military security, resource exploration and investigation. Since synthetic aperture radar tomography (TomoSAR) can achieve the three-dimensional imaging of forests, it has been widely used in underlying topography estimation. At present, there are two kinds of Tomo...
In this paper, we address a multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) communication system based on generalized spatial modulation (GSM) and dual-polarized (DP) antennas in sub-TeraHertz (sub-THz) bands to improve the Spectral Efficiency (SE) while reducing the spatial correlation effect and the space occupancy. Moreover, the joint Maximum Likelihood (M...
This paper presents the design, simulation and prototypingof a 2-bit dual linearly-polarized transmitarray antenna(TA) for 5G millimeter-wave point-to-point backhauling radiolinks at D-band (130 - 174.8 GHz). The flat lens consists of asquare array with 1600 unit cells arranged on a 40×40 elementregular grid. This array is based on a printed circui...

Heparan sulfate is a highly sulfated polysaccharide abundant on the surface of hepatocytes and surrounding extracellular matrix. Emerging evidence demonstrates that heparan sulfate plays an important role in neutralizing the activities of proinflammatory damage associate molecular patterns (DAMPs) that are released from hepatocytes under pathologic...
Ground-based radar systems have been used to observe clouds and precipitation since the 1940s. While weather radars that use centimeter waves can observe precipitation several hundred kilometers away, radars that are dedicated to cloud observations use millimeter waves and have limited ranges of just a few tens of kilometers. Airborne radars have t...
An isolation technique, which does not require conventional circulators, is proposed for the realization of a simple and low-cost aperture-coupled circularly polarized antenna for application to full-duplex devices. The approach is based on the use of slotlines loops to provide surface current cancellation in specific regions of the antenna structu...
