It is difficult to meet the design requirements of high-frequency surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters with low insertion loss and large bandwidth using conventional Rayleigh surface acoustic wave design. In this paper, a high-frequency broadband low insertion loss longitudinal leaky surface acoustic wave (LLSAW) filter based on multi-layer film structure has been designed. Firstly, the waveguide structure exciting the longitude leaky surface acoustic wave (LLSAW) is determined, and the 2D theoretical model of the device is established. Secondly, the influences of various electrode parameters on the spurious are studied. It is found that when the grating reflector of the series resonator is set to 6, the spurious in the passband can be suppressed as much as possible. Finally, the mirror T-type and mirror π-type filters are designed, and the performances are compared. The results show that the mirror T-type structure is more effective in suppressing the spurious response. The designed LLSAW filter with mirror T-type structure has a center frequency of 3 545 MHz, insertion loss of -1.416 dB, -3 dB bandwidth of 274 MHz, and out-of-band rejection of greater than -30 dB.
Using finite element simulation software, the film bulk acoustic resonator(FBAR) model was established. The study focused on investigating the effects of different electrode shapes (rectangular, trapezoidal, circular, and regular pentagonal) and apodization angles (30°, 36°, 40°, and 45°) on parasitic resonances under different resonant areas (3 600-10 000 μm2). The smith impedance curves and non-circularity values were obtained. The study also explored the suppression effects of stepped load structures on lateral acoustic wave leakage. The simulation results show that the non-regular pentagonal electrode shape with a apodization angle of 40° exhibits the best suppression effect on parasitic resonances. For the resonant area of 3 600 μm2, its non-circularity value is 6.45%, which is comparable to the rectangular electrode at a resonant area of 10 000 μm2. The designed stepped load structure significantly enhances the quality factor at the parallel resonance point. With a lateral dimension of 60 μm, the second-order electrode load structure achieves a quality factor of 1 378, which is 10.07% higher than that of the structure without electrode load.
The piezoelectric film has an inherent nonlinear hysteresis response to the piezoelectric effect, and the sound wave has a shear wave component that propagates toward the edge, both of which will cause energy loss of the sound wave.

COMSOL is used to conduct finite element simulation of the device, and a resonator with an edge air layer structure was successfully prepared for testing and verification.
A solution based on surface acoustic wave(SAW) tag is proposed for the parallel detection of soil temperature and moisture. The coupling-of-mode(COM) theory is used to model and simulate the impedance-loaded SAW tag, and the variation of the echo amplitude and phase of the load reflector with the capacitance value is obtained. On this basis, a dual channel double-sided tag structure is designed according to the different sensing mechanisms of SAW tag to soil temperature and moisture. The use of time-division multiple access(TDMA) method solves the problem of echo signal aliasing during detecting soil at different depth levels simultaneously. The soil temperature and moisture detection is implemented through the phase and amplitude ratio of the echo signal. The tag is tested using a vector network analyzer and a reader, and the test results show the effectiveness of the tag.

The magnetic field coil is the core part of the magnetic field system of the nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope (NMRG). It is also the core component of the inert gas magnetic resonance excitation maintenance and active magnetic compensation. The coupling of transverse magnetic field coil has great influence on the accuracy of magnetic compensation and magnetic resonance excitation. Therefore, it is very important to calibrate the coupling of the transverse magnetic field coil. In order to solve the above mentioned problems, a coupling calibration method of transverse magnetic field coil based on the built-in magnetometer of NMRG is proposed.

In order to avoid the damage of PZT of galloping energy harvester under high flow rate and ensure stable output characteristics in complex working environment, a galloping piezoelectric-electromagnetic energy harvester (GPEEH) using magnetic force to control the vibration amplitude of cantilever beam is proposed in this paper. The introduced nonlinear magnetic force can control the amplitude of the bluff body, improve the output stability of PEH, improve its adaptability to high wind speed environment, and increase the output voltage of the composite energy harvester. The influences of different load resistance, wind speed, key structural parameters d0 and d1 on the output characteristics of the energy harvester are investigated by using the fabricated wind tunnel experimental platform and the experimental prototype. The experimental results show that when the amplitude of the PEH bluff body is limited to a certain range by the magnetic force, the vibration frequency and velocity of the bluff body gradually increase with the increase of the wind speed. The main frequency of PEH vibration (6.3 Hz) at wind speed of 11.5 m/s is 1.4 times that of PEH vibration (4.3 Hz) at wind speed of 8.4 m/s. The output power of GPEEH is 6.18 mW at wind speed of 12 m/s, which is 47% higher than that of a single galloping piezoelectric energy harvester. When the wind speed reaches 10.5 m/s, the output power of PEH and EEH tends to be stable.
Aiming at the problem of poor positioning and quantification of internal defects in ultrasonic testing of composite insulators caused by high acoustic attenuation, the total focus method (TFM) is used to improve the detection quality. Based on the k-Wave toolbox, the simulation of ultrasonic total focus detection of internal defects of composite insulators is carried out. The effects of frequency, number of phased array elements, defect size and other factors on the detection results are discussed and the detection experiments are carried out. The results show that the full focusing method is effective in detecting the internal defects of composite insulators. The frequency has a great influence on the detection results. When the frequency is larger, the penetration force of the ultrasonic wave is weakened, and the attenuation coefficient of the ultrasonic wave in the composite insulator is increased. When the smaller frequency is selected, the detection resolution of the probe is reduced, which affects the quantification of the defect. Therefore, the appropriate frequency should be selected when detecting the composite insulator. The imaging effect of the 2.5 MHz frequency is the best among the four different frequencies. The number of array elements and defect size have little effect on the detection results. In the actual detection, the appropriate number of array elements should be selected according to the actual engineering needs. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the ultrasonic total focus method to detect the internal defects of composite insulators.
