    In order to calculate Terahertz(THz) wave atmospheric absorption loss accurately, THz propagation segmented path model should be established firstly, and continuous changing environmental atmospheric parameters can be obtained through the whole path. Each segment path’s atmospheric absorption loss is obtained by using International Telecommunications Union-Radio communications sector(ITU-R) standard, and the whole segments are accumulated to get total atmospheric absorption loss. It is difficult to obtain complete atmospheric parameters along the propagation path due to the lack of meteorological observation equipment and methods. Besides, atmospheric refraction effect appears due to the earth’s gravity, which makes curved THz propagation path. This paper discusses the calculation method of THz wave atmospheric absorption loss. Based on atmospheric observation re-analysis data, using ITU-R standard as bridge, a constructive relationship is built between meteorological data and atmospheric absorption loss. The proposed method can be used in the ground detection engineering of THz wave for aircraft, to make THz communication link’s atmospheric absorption loss estimation.

    The communication blackout when the space vehicle at ultra-high speed is reentering the atmosphere has always been a challenging task. Based on the Epstein distribution of electron density, the models of oblique incidence terahertz wave propagation are established for magnetized plasma inhomogeneous plasma sheath. The transmittance and attenuation of terahertz wave are numerically calculated. The effects of collision frequency, magnetic field intensity, incident angle, etc. on THz wave attenuation are analyzed. The results shows that with the increase of magnetic field intensity, the minimum transmittance and attenuation peak move to the direction of higher THz frequency. When the electromagnetic wave incident angle becomes larger, the transmittance decreases, and the attenuation increases. When the incident angle is less than or equal to 60o, the maximum attenuation at 0.22 THz of atmospheric window is 5.32 dB. This study provides a theoretical basis for solving the blackout problem.

    The Licklider Transmission Protocol(LTP) is an important protocol in deep space communication, but its Automatic Repeat-reQuest(ARQ) mechanism cannot meet the transmission delay requirements. In order to take advantage of the fountain code without feedback and meet the different reliability requirements of red data and green data in the LTP, first of all, the fountain code with characteristics of Unequal Error Protection(UEP) is introduced into the LTP to obtain the LTP with characteristics of UEP(UEP-LTP). Then an exponential window selection probability function is constructed by assigning different selection probabilities of windows to different degrees of the fountain code, and the function is optimized to obtain an Advanced UEP-LTP(AUEP-LTP) with better performance. The simulation results show that the bit error rate of red data and green data of AUEP-LTP can reach 10-10.473 2 and 10-3.687 8 respectively, which can meet the different reliability requirements of red data and green data, reduce the retransmission of LTP and improve the performance, and is more suitable for deep space communication.

    In view of the existing problems in the current Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radar signal recognition method, this paper proposes an interpretable method for identification of OFDM radar signals. The method which is based on Tree-based Pipeline Optimization Tool(TPOT) and Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations(LIME) is to identify OFDM radar signals. Firstly, according to the characteristics of OFDM radar signals, the complexity features and singular value entropy of time-frequency image matrix are extracted to form the feature vectors. Then through the TPOT,the best performing machine learning process is obtained. Finally,the interpretation result is interpreted by the interpreter, and the result of the recognition is given as a risk assessment; meanwhile,according to the interpretability of OFDM radar signals, those signals difficult to distinguish are determined. The experimental results show that the recognition rate of the OFDM radar signal with RSN=0 dB is 91%. The interpretability given by LIME can be utilized to determine the type of radar signal that is difficult to distinguish in the data set.

    The Method of Moments(MoM) combined with Multi-Layer Fast Multipole Algorithm (MLFMA) and Adaptive Cross Approximation(ACA) is proposed to calculate the electromagnetic characteristics of the target. The computation of the scattering of electrically large composite targets is speeded up and the memory requirement is reduced. For the near-field region of self-acting target, MoM and MLFMA are combined to speed up the matrix vector multiplication, reduce the storage and decrease the complexity of calculation. The far-field impedance matrix has a low rank characteristic and can be compressed by ACA to speed-up the filling rate of the matrix. Matrix filling is stored sequentially according to the interaction among the blocks divided by tree structure. ACA algorithm is utilized to solve the problem of the compression of matrix between each block and block. The proposed hybrid algorithm based on ACA can compress the impedance matrix of the coupling between two targets, reduce the filling time and the required memory of the matrix. At the same time, the computation time of matrix vectors can be shortened in the iterative process, thus the total time of electromagnetic scattering calculation can be reduced greatly. Numerical simulation results show that the algorithm is more efficient than the traditional method, and the accuracy of electromagnetic scattering is consistent.

    In recent years, microwave heating has been widely used in various fields due to its high efficiency and internal heating. However, the uniformity of microwave heating limits the development of its large-scale industrial application. High uniformity and high efficiency are the focus of microwave heating research. Low efficiency will cause the waste of energy and non-uniform heating will lead to poor heating quality and even thermal runaway. In this paper, a method of frequency-selected heating with dual-port is proposed and the power is fed by two orthogonal polarized antennas in the cavity. Then, the heating efficiency of each frequency point and the influence of different frequencies on the heating effect are analyzed by using sweep frequency. Finally, frequency-selected heating is carried out on the frequency point with high efficiency, so as to improve the heating uniformity under the premise of maintaining high heating efficiency.

Firstly, the sample-test structure is designed based on the standard BJ22 waveguide structure with the finite element method. The structure can ensure that the permittivity and port parameters of |S11|,φS11,|S21| keep good monotonicity in a large range of permittivity, avoiding multi-value problems. Then, artificial neural network is utilized to train the S parameters which are corresponding to each permittivity obtained by simulation, and the training results achieve sufficient accuracy. Finally, through experiments, the measured S parameters are inverted by neural network to obtain the relative complex permittivity of the substance to be measured. This method can be applied to measure the permittivity of materials like plasma which has negative real part of complex permittivity.

    Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar(ISAR) images are usually affected by various noises which degrade the quality of ISAR images and seriously affect the subsequent feature extraction and target recognition applications. Improving the image quality and reducing noise interference have become important steps in the application of target recognition. A method based on Constant False-Alarm Rate (CFAR) detection and density clustering is proposed to suppress speckle interference and transverse fringe interference in ISAR images. Compared with traditional methods, this method can effectively preserve the details of the target while ensuring the effect of interference suppression. The image area, length and Doppler spread are extracted as ISAR recognition feature vectors. Field experiments show that the proposed method effectively suppresses the interference components in the image, retains more image details, and effectively improves the stability of ISAR recognition features.

    In recent years, deep learning of convolutional networks has achieved great success in the fields of image processing and target detection. It has become a new research hotspot to apply Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) to traditional video compression standards. An improved High Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC) compression algorithm integrated with convolutional neural network is proposed, which integrates down-sampling, HEVC codec, up-sampling and quality enhancement process. In order to extract the structural features of video frames efficiently, two convolutional neural networks are integrated in the proposed compression algorithm. Down Sampling CNN(DwSCNN) replaces bicubic down-sampling, which preserves the detailed information while reducing the resolution, obtaining a more compact low resolution video sequence. The low-resolution video sequence is further compressed by HEVC intra coding, and a quality-enhanced Post Processing CNN(PPCNN) is proposed to improve the degraded video sequence that is restored to the original resolution after decoding. The experimental results show that the proposed compression improvement algorithm can achieve better quality reconstruction than the standard HEVC in the low code rate segment, and can save time by 39.46% and bit rate by 11.04% when the PSNR value is close to the same.
