Demonstration of radar-aided flexible communication in a photonics-based W-band distributed integrated sensing and communication system for 6G

This paper experimentally demonstrates a distributed photonics-based W-band integrated sensing and communication(ISAC) system, in which radar sensing can aid the communication links in alignment and data rate estimation. As a proof-of-concept, the ISAC system locates the users, guides the alignment, and sets a communication link with the estimated highest data rate. A peak net data rate of 68.6 Gbit/s and a target sensing with a less-than-1-cm error and a sub-2-cm resolution have been tested over a 10-km fiber and a 1.15-m free space transmission in the photonics-based W-band ISAC system. The achievable net data rates of the users at different locations estimated by sensing are experimentally verified.

Biopolymer-Based Aerogels for Electromagnetic Wave Shielding and Absorbing

The rapid development of communication technology and electronic industry has brought unprecedented serious electromagnetic interference(EMI)and electromagnetic wave(EMW)pollution.Although EMI shields and EMW absorbers based on metal or magnetic materials were used to solve these problems,they have long been criticized for their high price,high density and easy corrosion.In order to achieve low density and efficient dissipation of electromagnetic energy,aerogels stand out among manifold materials.However,constructing aerogels with good EMI shielding or EMW absorption performance and acceptable mechanical properties is not an easy task.Burgeoning biopolymers,such as cellulose,lignin,chitin/chitosan and alginate,breathe new life into aerogels for high-efficiency EMW shielding and absorbing.Here,we reviewed the contributions of biopolymers in the fields of aerogels for EMW shielding and absorbing.At the same time,some challenges and outlook were also pointed out,aiming to promote the advance of aerogel-based EMI shields and EMW absorbers as well as the rational utilization of biopolymers.

Research on Electromagnetic Wave Absorption Based on Electrospinning Technology

At present,in order to overcome electromagnetic interference and prevent electromagnetic harm,the research of new and efficient electromagnetic wave absorbing materials has become the research focus in the field of materials science.The one-dimensional structure can promote the impedance matching and attenuation characteristics of the absorbing materials.Electrospinning,as an effective method to prepare nanofibers with high length-diameter ratio,has been widely concerned because it is suitable for struc-tural design of various materials.In this paper,the research progress and absorption properties of nano-fiber materials prepared by electrospinning combined with different processes are introduced.
