Fourier Convolution Operation on Metasurface-Based Hologram in Microwave Region

In this paper, a 0.1λ0-thick 1-bit coding metasurface is proposed to achieve a polarization-insensitive hologram under oblique incidence, utilizing compact ground-backed patch unit cells. Fourier convolution theory in a digital signal processing system is added to the hologram calculation of the improved weighted Gerchberg–Saxton (GSW) algorithm to achieve control of the scattered pattern in the microwave region. As a proof of concept, a prototype operating at 15 GHz is designed to verify the validity of our proposed approach. The measured performances show good imaging quality under different incident polarizations, providing potential applications in imaging processing and information storage.

Pure Rotational Spectrum of Benzophenone Detected by Broadband Microwave Spectrometer in the 2–8 GHz Range

The investigation on microwave spectrum of benzophenone was conducted with a recently constructed broadband chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer with a heating nozzle in the 2–8 GHz range. In this work, 138 b-type pure rotational transitions were assigned to bridge the measuring gap in the microwave region. The rotational constants for benzophenone were accurately determined by a combined microwave data fitting with frequency coverage between 2–14 GHz and have the following values: A = 1692.8892190(119) MHz, B = 412.6446602(43) MHz and C = 353.8745644(43) MHz.
