A wideband, low cross-polarization, high-gain, and wide-angle scanning antenna array is presented in this paper. The antenna array contains 8 subarrays in the horizontal dimension, and each subarray contains 4 unit cells. A two-side printed dipole with an amendatory equivalent circuit model is adopted, and the metal vias are introduced in the element design to ameliorate the cross-polarization level. A radome, acting as the wide-angle impedance matching layer, is introduced to achieve wide-angle scanning. A prototype of a 4 × 8 array is fabricated and measured. The results show that the operating bandwidth of aperture efficiency (BWAE) above 60% is about 26.7% from 2.6 GHz to 3.4 GHz. The measured scanning loss in the H-plane is 2.7 dB when scanning up to 60° with active voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) <3, and the gain can achieve 21 dB at 3 GHz with a cross-polarization level below −30 dB at all angles.

Abstract Double-layer absorbing cement-based composites with the thickness of 10 mm were prepared, including different replacement levels of fly ash (FA) in the absorbing layer as well as the matching layer for impedance matching. Waste polyethylene terephthalate bottle fragment was introduced as electromagnetic transparent reinforcement aggregate. Carbon black was used to be original absorbent in the absorbing layer. The microstructure and electromagnetic parameters of FA were closely looked at through scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and analyzer of vector network. The absorption and mechanical properties of cement-based composites were tested. It turned out that when the optimal replacement ratio of FA in the absorbing layer and matching layer gets to 50%:30%, the minimum value of reflection loss achieves −22.3 dB at 13.2 GHz; also, the value of absorption bandwidth that is effective (<−8 dB) is 6.4 GHz. Ni-Zn ferrite proves to be a feasible absorbent that is additional for the matching layer compared to what is added to the absorbing layer. The compressive strength of all the mixtures decreased, while the flexural strength decreased first and then increased with the rise of the FA replacement level.

A wide-band cylindrical transducer was developed by using the wide band of the composite material and the matched matching layer for multimode coupling. Firstly, the structure size of the transducer’s sensitive component was designed by using ANSYS simulation software. Secondly, the piezoelectric composite ring-shaped sensitive component was fabricated by the piezoelectric composite curved-surface forming process, and the matching layer was coated on the periphery of the ring-shaped piezoelectric composite material. Finally, it was encapsulated and the electrodes were drawn out to make a high-frequency broadband horizontal omnidirectional water acoustic transducer prototype. After testing, the working frequency range of the transducer was 230–380 kHz, and the maximum transmission voltage response was 168 dB in the water.
