The simulator is an indispensable device for the study of high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) effects. In order to improve the quality of the electric field waveforms of the HEMP simulator, we carried out simulation and experimental studies for the biconical-wire grid antenna. A new bicone-wire grid antenna HEMP simulator was designed by using skeletonized cones instead of solid cones, which can substantially improve the mobility of the simulator. The effects of different aspect ratios and different cone structures of the simulator on the waveform and distribution characteristics of the electric field were analyzed. The accuracy of the simulation results was verified by testing the bicone-wire grid antenna simulator with the new structure. The results obtained are as follows: First, the simulator can provide a HEMP environment compliant with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard in an area of 5 × 6 × 2 m3. Second, the simulator possesses optimal waveform quality and working space among simulators with different aspect ratios. Finally, the influence of using skeletonized cones instead of solid cones on the simulator's electric field waveforms is negligible, and the mobility of the new simulator is significantly improved compared to the original simulator.

The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment located in the Atacama Desert in Chile that will make precise temperature and polarization measurements over six spectral bands ranging from 27 to 285 GHz. Three small aperture telescopes (SATs) and one large aperture telescope (LAT) will house 60,000 detectors and cover angular scales between one arcminute and tens of degrees. We present the performance of the dichroic, low-frequency (LF) lenslet-coupled sinuous antenna transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometer arrays with bands centered at 27 and 39 GHz.

This paper demonstrates real-time, label-free, contact-based glucose sensor design of inset-fed Microstrip Patch Antenna (MSPA) genres: Slotted Microstrip Patch Antenna (SMSPA) and Through-hole Microstrip Patch Antenna (THMSPA). In SMSPA, multiple slots are created along the width edge of the patch. In THMSPA, a through-hole is introduced across the antenna including all the layers: patch, substrate and ground conductor of the MSPA.

This paper investigated a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based integrated satellite-terrestrial network (ISTN), where each user can select to access a terrestrial base station (BS) or the satellite according to the capacity of BS and their individual transmission requirements. A two-stage algorithm is proposed to solve the achievable sum rate maximizing resource optimization problem. In the first stage, user associations are determined based on individual preference lists and the backhaul capacities of the access points (APs).
