Microwave and millimeter-wave measurements acquire total-field responses from measurements, yet imaging algorithms instead require the data in form of scattered-field responses. Two approaches exist for extraction responses, namely, Born Rytov approximations. It is well known that, depending on target’s size, contrast, structural complexity, one approximation can achieve an improved accuracy ov...

Background: Local ablative treatments play an important role for patients who cannot be treated surgically. Radiofrequency ablation is a well-established alternative to surgical treatment of thyroid nodules, however it also has disadvantages. Microwave ablation (MWA) is a new minimally invasive treatment promising several improvements. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the eff...

Due to the complicated structure of microwave radiometric imaging system and the massive amount of data collection in one snapshot, it is difficult to achieve the high spatial resolution image by conventional microwave radiation imaging method based on the Nyquist sampling. In this paper, according to the priori information of the compressible multi-structural information of microwave radiation...

Negative refraction and left-handed electromagnetism in a photonic crystal are demonstrated in waveguide and free space experiments at microwave frequencies. Precision control to achieve tailor-made refractive indices has been achieved. The negative refraction in these photonic crystals is shown to lead to imaging by a flat lens. We have also developed a generalized theory of flat lens imaging....

Recently, has emerged a n ew technology, substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) [1] [2], it has been applied successfully to the conception of planar compact components for the microwave and millimeter waves applications [3] [4]. Our study concerns the analysis of right bends of rectangular waveguides under SIW technology by the HFSS code, in order to simulate different chamfrain positions, throu...

Electrostatic modification of functional materials by electrolytic gating has demonstrated a remarkably wide range of density modulation, a condition crucial for developing novel electronic phases in systems ranging from complex oxides to layered chalcogenides. Yet little is known microscopically when carriers are modulated in electrolyte-gated electric double-layer transistors (EDLTs) due to t...
