However, the RCS values at all azimuths are hardly accessible for non-cooperative targets, due to the limitations of radar observation azimuth and detection resources. Despite their efforts to predict the azimuth-dimensional RCS value, traditional methods based on statistical theory fails to achieve the desired results because of the azimuth sensitivity of the target RCS. To address this problem, an improved neural basis expansion analysis for interpretable time series forecasting (N-BEATS) network considering the physical model prior is proposed to predict the azimuth-dimensional RCS value accurately. Concretely, physical model-based constraints are imposed on the network by constructing a scattering-center module based on the target scattering-center model. Besides, a superimposed seasonality module is involved to better capture high-frequency information, and augmenting the training set provides complementary information for learning predictions. Extensive simulations and experimental results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In antenna modeling, the input feature of artificial neural network (ANN) is geometric parameters. The selection criteria contain correlation and sensitivity between the geometric parameter and the electromagnetic (EM) response. Maximal information coefficient (MIC), an exploratory data mining tool, is introduced to evaluate both linear and nonlinear correlations. The EM response range is utilized to evaluate the sensitivity. The wide response range corresponding to varying values of a parameter implies the parameter is highly sensitive and the narrow response range suggests the parameter is insensitive. Only the parameter which is highly correlative and sensitive is selected as the input of ANN, and the sampling space of the model is highly reduced. The modeling of a wideband and circularly polarized antenna is studied as an example to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The number of input parameters decreases from 8 to 4. The testing errors of |S11| and axis ratio are reduced by 8.74% and 8.95%, respectively, compared with the ANN with no feature selection.

Nevertheless, the practical implementation of these signals is hindered by large antenna diameters, limiting their potential applications. Therefore, it is imperative to study the creation of low-frequency signals using antennas with suitable dimensions. In contrast to conventional mechanical antenna techniques, our study generates low-frequency signals in the spatial domain utilizing the principle of the Doppler effect. We also defines the antenna array architecture, the timing sequency, and the radiating element signal waveform, and provides experimental prototypes including 8/64 antennas based on earlier research. In the conducted experiments, 121 MHz, 40 MHz, and 10kHz composite signals are generated by 156 MHz radiating element signals. The composite signal spectrum matches the simulations, proving our low-frequency signal generating method works. This holds significant implications for research on generating low-frequency signals with small-sized antennas.

To satisfy quality of service (QoS) requirements of various users, it is critical to research efficient routing strategies to fully utilize satellite resources. This paper proposes a multi-QoS information optimized routing algorithm based on reinforcement learning for LEO satellite networks, which guarantees high level assurance demand services to be prioritized under limited satellite resources while considering the load balancing performance of the satellite networks for low level assurance demand services to ensure the full and effective utilization of satellite resources. An auxiliary path search algorithm is proposed to accelerate the convergence of satellite routing algorithm. Simulation results show that the generated routing strategy can timely process and fully meet the QoS demands of high assurance services while effectively improving the load balancing performance of the link.

However, their hysteresis characteristics seriously affect the accuracy and stability of piezo actuators. Existing methods for fitting hysteresis loops include operator class, differential equation class, and machine learning class. The modeling cost of operator class and differential equation class methods is high, the model complexity is high, and the process of machine learning, such as neural network calculation, is opaque. The physical model framework cannot be directly extracted. Therefore, the sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy) algorithm is proposed to fit hysteresis loops. Furthermore, the SINDy algorithm is improved. While the SINDy algorithm builds an orthogonal candidate database for modeling, the sparse regression model is simplified, and the Relay operator is introduced for piecewise fitting to solve the distortion problem of the SINDy algorithm fitting singularities. The Relay-SINDy algorithm proposed in this paper is applied to fitting hysteresis loops. Good performance is obtained with the experimental results of open and closed loops. Compared with the existing methods, the modeling cost and model complexity are reduced, and the modeling accuracy of the hysteresis loop is improved.

For Link-16, the anti-jamming performance evaluation and selection of the optimal anti-jamming technologies are urgent problems to be solved. A comprehensive evaluation method is proposed, which combines grey relational analysis (GRA) and cloud model, to evaluate the anti-jamming performances of Link-16. Firstly, on the basis of establishing the anti-jamming performance evaluation indicator system of Link-16, the linear combination of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy weight method (EWM) are used to calculate the combined weight. Secondly, the qualitative and quantitative concept transformation model, i.e., the cloud model, is introduced to evaluate the anti-jamming abilities of Link-16 under each jamming scheme. In addition, GRA calculates the correlation degree between evaluation indicators and the anti-jamming performance of Link-16, and assesses the best anti-jamming technology. Finally, simulation results prove that the proposed evaluation model can achieve the objective of feasible and practical evaluation, which opens up a novel way for the research of anti-jamming performance evaluations of Link-16.

In this paper, a dual circularly polarized (CP) monostatic simultaneous transmit and receive (MSTAR) antenna with enhanced isolation is proposed to alleviate the problem. The proposed antenna consists of one sequentially rotating array (SRA), two beamforming networks (BFN), and a combined decoupling structure. The SRA is shared by the transmit and receive to reduce the size of the antenna and to obtain a consistent transmit and receive pattern. The BFN achieve right-hand CP for transmit and left-hand CP for receive. By exploring the combined decoupling structure of uniplanar compact electromagnetic band gap (UC-EBG) and ring-shaped defected ground structure (RS-DGS), good transmit-receive isolation is achieved. The proposed antenna prototype is fabricated and experimentally characterized. The simulated and measured results show good agreement. The demonstrate transmit/receive isolation is height than 33 dB, voltage standing wave ratio is lower than 2, axial ratio is lower than 3 dB, and consistent radiation for both transmit and receive is within 4.25–4.35 GHz.
