Synthesis and microwave absorption performance of heat-treated RF/SiO_(2)aerogels

The well-designed composite with satisfactory electromagnetic microwave absorption at high temperatures remains a serious challenge.Herein,we fabricated a resorcinol-formaldehyde/silica dioxide composite aerogel(RF/SiO_(2))with a three-dimensional network structure using sol-gel,atmospheric pressure drying technique as well as heat-treated processes to achieve enhanced microwave absorption capabilities in the low frequency range.The pristine RF/SiO_(2)aerogel presented a typical micropores structure with a surface area,porous volume,and density of 146.82 m^(2)/g,62.40%,and 0.28 cm^(3)/g,respectively.Remarkably,the RF/SiO_(2)aerogel showed an effective absorption bandwidth of 3.56 GHz and a minimum reflection loss value of-46.10 d B at 2.25 mm after being heat-treated at 1500°C,while the maximum effective absorption bandwidth was 3.60 GHz at 2.30 mm.The intricate three-dimensional networks possessed remarkable impedance matching,multiple attenuation mechanisms,interfacial polarization,and dielectric loss,which were attributed to the exceptional ability to absorb electromagnetic microwaves.It offered a fresh approach to creating adaptable and effective microwave absorption materials in military defense.

Scavenging Microwave Wireless Power:A Unified Model,Rectenna Design Automation,and Cutting-Edge Techniques

While sufficient review articles exist on inductive short-range wireless power transfer(WPT),long-haul microwave WPT(MWPT)for solar power satellites,and ambient microwave wireless energy harvesting(MWEH)in urban areas,few studies focus on the fundamental modeling and related design automation of receiver systems.This article reviews the development of MWPT and MWEH receivers,with a focus on rectenna design automation.A novel rectifier model capable of accurately modeling the rectification process under both high and low input power is presented.The model reveals the theoretical boundary of radio frequency-to-direct current(dc)power conversion efficiency and,most importantly,enables an automated system design.The automated rectenna design flow is sequential,with the minimal engagement of iterative optimization.It covers the design automation of every module(i.e.,rectifiers,matching circuits,antennae,and dc–dc converters).Scaling-up of the technique to large rectenna arrays is also possible,where the challenges in array partitioning and power combining are briefly discussed.In addition,several cutting-edge rectenna techniques for MWPT and MWEH are reviewed,including the dynamic range extension technique,the harmonics-based retro-directive technique,and the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer technique,which can be good complements to the presented automated design methodology.

A high rectification efficiency Si_(0.14)Ge_(0.72)Sn_(0.14)-Ge_(0.82)Sn_(0.18)-Ge quantum structure n-MOSFET for 2.45 GHz weak energy microwave wireless energy transmission

The design strategy and efficiency optimization of a Ge-based n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor(n-MOSFET)with a Si_(0.14)Ge_(0.72)Sn_(0.14)-Ge_(0.82)Sn_(0.18)-Ge quantum structure used for 2.45 GHz weak energy microwave wireless energy transmission is reported.The quantum structure combined withδ-doping technology is used to reduce the scattering of the device and improve its electron mobility;at the same time,the generation of surface channels is suppressed by the Si_(0.14)Ge_(0.72)Sn_(0.14) cap layer.By adjusting the threshold voltage of the device to 91 mV,setting the device aspect ratio to 1μm/0.4μm and adopting a novel diode connection method,the rectification efficiency of the device is improved.With simulation by Silvaco TCAD software,good performance is displayed in the transfer and output characteristics.For a simple half-wave rectifier circuit with a load of 1 pf and 20 kΩ,the rectification efficiency of the device can reach 7.14%at an input power of-10 dBm,which is 4.2 times that of a Si MOSFET(with a threshold voltage of 80 mV)under the same conditions;this device shows a better rectification effect than a Si MOSFET in the range of-30 dBm to 6.9 dBm.

Ground Passive Microwave Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Profiles Using WRF Simulations and Machine Learning Techniques

Microwave radiometer(MWR) demonstrates exceptional efficacy in monitoring the atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles.A typical inversion algorithm for MWR involves the use of radiosonde measurements as the training dataset.However,this is challenging due to limitations in the temporal and spatial resolution of available sounding data,which often results in a lack of coincident data with MWR deployment locations.Our study proposes an alternative approach to overcome these limitations by harnessing the Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF) model's renowned simulation capabilities,which offer high temporal and spatial resolution.By using WRF simulations that collocate with the MWR deployment location as a substitute for radiosonde measurements or reanalysis data,our study effectively mitigates the limitations associated with mismatching of MWR measurements and the sites,which enables reliable MWR retrieval in diverse geographical settings.Different machine learning(ML) algorithms including extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),random forest(RF),light gradient boosting machine(LightGBM),extra trees(ET),and backpropagation neural network(BPNN) are tested by using WRF simulations,among which BPNN appears as the most superior,achieving an accuracy with a root-mean-square error(RMSE) of 2.05 K for temperature,0.67 g m~(-3) for water vapor density(WVD),and 13.98% for relative humidity(RH).Comparisons of temperature,RH,and WVD retrievals between our algorithm and the sounding-trained(RAD) algorithm indicate that our algorithm remarkably outperforms the latter.This study verifies the feasibility of utilizing WRF simulations for developing MWR inversion algorithms,thus opening up new possibilities for MWR deployment and airborne observations in global locations.

应用标签并行识别技术的RFID防碰撞算法

针对RFID传统算法一次只能识别一个标签、吞吐率低、饿死率高的不足,文中提出一种RFID系统防碰撞算法,即利用伪ID码分组,并应用标签可并行识别技术的防碰撞算法(PILD算法)。PILD算法利用伪ID码对待识别标签进行分组,当出现碰撞现象时,运用并行识别算法对出现碰撞的标签进行识别。该算法能避免因帧长过大造成吞吐率下降的问题,并提高RFID识别技术的吞吐率。首先对PILD算法的识别过程进行理论分析,再运用Mathematica软件对PILD算法进行仿真。理论分析及仿真结果表明:当标签总数为2000,单次碰撞标签数小于等于6时,标签平均查询次数近似为1.26次;该算法的吞吐率较稳定且达到0.791092,与基于伪ID码的树型防碰撞算法和Logistic⁃DFSA算法相比,所提算法吞吐率分别提高28.82%、4.74%;当标签数大于1400时,PILD算法的标签总查询次数最少,标签平均查询次数最少。所提算法中伪ID码分组能够减少单个标签因多次碰撞发生“饿死现象”的概率,与基于伪ID码的树型防碰撞算法和Logistic⁃DFSA算法相比,PILD算法饿死率最低。

On Differentiation Among Pilot Signals of Multiple Mobile Targets in Retro-Reflective Beamforming for Wireless Power Transmission

An experimental study is conducted on several retro-reflective beamforming schemes for wireless power transmission to multiple wireless power receivers(referred to herein as“targets”).The experimental results demonstrate that,when multiple targets broadcast continuous-wave pilot signals at respective frequencies,a retro-reflective wireless power transmitter is capable of generating multiple wireless power beams aiming at the respective targets as long as the multiple pilot signals are explicitly separated from one another by the wireless power transmitter.However,various practical complications are identified when the pilot signals of multiple targets are not appropriately differentiated from each other by the wireless power transmitter.Specifically,when multiple pilot signals are considered to be carried by the same frequency,the wireless power transmission performance becomes heavily dependent on the interaction among the pilot signals,which is highly undesirable in practice.In conclusion,it is essential for a retro-reflective wireless power transmitter to explicitly discriminate multiple targets’pilot signals among each other.
