In brief

Abstract

PAGE 1653 A coalition from Huaqiao University in China and Antengenuity in Australia present a dual-polarised phase-correcting microwave transmitarray that is based on ultra-thin phase-shifting surface. The experimental results show that the proposed ultra-thin transmitarray has good focusing property in the microwave band. With a simple planar feed source, the transmitarray antenna is an attractive compromise of radiation performance, structural compactness, fabrication complexity and cost. PAGE 1690 Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences present a passive localisation algorithm using uniform circular array (UCA) for use where both far-field and near-field narrow-band signals may exist synchronously. The differencing matrix and the orthogonal projection matrix of the signal subspace are built to classify the mixed signals and to estimate the two dimensional direction-of-arrivals (DOAs) of the near-field signals (NFSs). The transmitarry is very thin and can operate at two orthogonal polarisations PAGE 1677 A group from Beihang University, China, propose an alternative model to solve the problem of pose estimation in visual object recognition. Their method, Agreement Function (AF), is a generative model since it learns to represent the joint probability distribution of the inputs and their poses. It has been validated by extensive experiments. The mixed source localisation with a spatially separated sensor array has many important application areas, such as lightening localisation and speaker guidance systems PAGE 1671 A group of researchers from Tsinghua University, China, have designed a self-controlled Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) circuit based on cross-coupled gates. The PUF is used to create key and encrypt on-chip data. This technology can be used on bank cards, making them more secure. The model significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art in pose estimation for dense, sparse, and multi-modal data PAGE 1727 Researchers from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in China present a way to analyse the coverage performance of non-vehicle users when moving relays (MR) are implemented in cellular networks. It is observed that the coverage probability gains of non-vehicular users enabled by MRs are positively related to the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) target. Simulation results verify that the derived expressions in the paper are accurate. A PUF presented in this paper is implemented in a small area and uses a low amount of power Most research concentrates on providing performance analysis only for vehicular users
