“…To verify the above theory, the far-field patterns of FBSLWA with L = 20λ 0 and k s = 1.3k 0 (where λ 0 is the free space wavelength and k 0 is the wavenumber in free space at 11.0 GHz) are calculated using equations (1)- (5). For different main beam directions, the grating lobe pointing angles with different element spacing d are shown in figure 2.…”

A 1-bit phase reconfigurable fixed-frequency beam steering leaky-wave antenna (FBSLWA) with wide-angle steering is proposed in this paper. By controlling two p-i-n diodes on the branches of the element, a stable 180° phase difference is realized. Moreover, the open stop-band effect at the broadside radiation is suppressed by reducing the reflection coefficients of the element. The proposed FBSLWA can achieve wide-angle steering within a frequency bandwidth of 10.4 GHz to 11.8 GHz. As for the measured results, they show that the achievable beam steering ranges of the FBSLWA at 10.4 GHz, 11.0 GHz, and 11.8 GHz are -61° to +59°, -64° to +71°, and -62° to +58° respectively, with measured peak gains of 12.1 dBi, 13.9 dBi, and 11.7 dBi.

Microwave imaging has been widely used in stroke diagnosis as a non‐invasive, ionizing radiation‐free imaging method. However, the electromagnetic inverse scattering problems of microwave imaging are nonlinear and ill‐posed. To further improve the accuracy of microwave imaging algorithms to identify and reconstruct stroke regions. A novel Encoder‐Decoder and Modified U‐Net (ED‐MUNET) network for microwave imaging of stroke is proposed. The newly proposed ED‐MUNET method accomplishes the initial imaging from scattered data to stroke images through an encoder–decoder in the first step. In the second step, the feature information of the reconstructed image is extracted through the modified U‐Net network, and the reconstruction from the rough stroke image to the high‐resolution image is realized. The second step avoids black‐box operations and improves image accuracy. ED‐MUNET has fewer artifacts, the relative reconstruction error is less than 0.05, and the reconstructed images are clearer, according to the comparative experiments with other networks. The experimental results showed the superiority of the proposed method for reconstructing stroke images.
