The new method not only overcomes the weakness of the ambiguity of DOA estimation of arbitrary array, but also improves the abilities of resolution and de-correlation. It is proven to be effective by theoretical analyses and computer simulations. What is more, the method can improve the estimation and resolution of DOA under the condition of sparse practical array.展开更多

It can alternate between two contrasting behaviors under different temperatures and serve as a switchable filter that allows the incident energy to be selectively transmitted or reflected with an excess of 10 dB isolation at certain frequencies for both polarizations. The ex- perimental results are consistent with the theoretical simulations, verifying the availability of an innovative method for manipulating electromagnetic waves with the merits of higher controllability for dynamic behavior and greater flexibility in the design process.展开更多
