Abstract:The last half a century has seen an enormous growth in mobile communication, reflecting into an increasingly interconnected world. Nevertheless, the incessant demand for faster data-rates requires a shift to higher carrier frequencies, which translates to the need for more ubiquitous hardware due to the increased wave propagation losses. The 7-20 GHz range, located between the sub-6 GHz (5G FR-1) and the mm-wave (5G FR-2) spectrum, provides an excellent trade-off between network capacity and coverage. Such spe… Show more

This article introduces a filter cable design featuring an insulated cylinder that has been coated using a defected conductor transmission structure (DCTS). This unique feature enables the cable to possess distributed filter advantages throughout its length. The DCTS, featuring a well-designed etched pattern, serves as a boundary condition for transmitting specific frequency electromagnetic waves and effectively performs the same filtering function as a lumped filter circuit. To validate this concept, a lowpass filter cable is proposed, which incorporates six-slot-ring defected structures. The cable utilizes polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as the inner dielectric, encased within a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB)-manufactured DCTS. With precise dimensions of a 2.4 mm diameter and a 340 mm length, the proposed filter cable demonstrates performance, indicated by a minimal insertion loss of under 0.38 dB below 6 GHz in the passband, and a rejection surpassing 43 dB at 7.7-25 GHz in the stopband. By comparison, traditional coaxial cables lack these filtering capabilities, making the filter cable with DCTS a viable choice for addressing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) concerns.

“…We want to emphasize that the research on structural colors is essentially developing powerful processors for spectral information with extremely high spatial resolution and spectral accuracy. Although developed originally for visible light, the spectral processing capabilities of structural coloration are transferrable to all parts of the spectrum, including the terahertz waves that are expected to be the range for 6G wireless communications [318,319] . The ability to modulate the spectral information with high spatial resolution can become a game-changing technique for enabling high-throughput information processing for both free-space and fiber-optics systems.…”
Structural coloration generates colors by the interaction between incident light and micro-or nanoscale structures. It has received tremendous interest for decades, due to advantages including robustness against bleaching and environmentally friendly properties (compared with conventional pigments and dyes). As a versatile coloration strategy, the tuning of structural colors based on micro-and nanoscale photonic structures has been extensively explored and can enable a broad range of applications including displays, anti-counterfeiting, and coating. However, scholarly research on structural colors has had limited impact on commercial products because of their disadvantages in cost, scalability, and fabrication. In this review, we analyze the key challenges and opportunities in the development of structural colors. We first summarize the fundamental mechanisms and design strategies for structural colors while reviewing the recent progress in realizing dynamic structural coloration. The promising potential applications including optical information processing and displays are also discussed while elucidating the most prominent challenges that prevent them from translating into technologies on the market. Finally, we address the new opportunities that are underexplored by the structural coloration community but can be achieved through multidisciplinary research within the emerging research areas.
“…The fields of electronics and telecommunications ongoing research greatly revolves around frameworks like the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G and 6G technologies [1]. These frameworks require RF devices that support high-speed and high-capacity wireless communication, which are vastly used in our mobile phones, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and advanced healthcare monitoring systems [2]. Therefore there is a continuous need to design, test, and optimise new advanced quickly-reconfigurable RF components that operate in a wide range of frequencies and bandwidths with low energy consumption.…”
In the field of magnonics, which uses magnons, the quanta of spin waves, for energy-efficient data processing, significant progress has been made leveraging the capabilities of the inverse design concept. This approach involves defining a desired functionality and employing a feedback-loop algorithm to optimise the device design. In this study, we present the first experimental demonstration of a reconfigurable, lithography-free, and simulation-free inverse-design device capable of implementing various RF components. The device features a square array of independent direct current loops that generate a complex reconfigurable magnetic medium atop a Yttrium-Iron-Garnet (YIG) rectangular film for data processing in the gigahertz range. Showcasing its versatility, the device addresses inverse problems using two algorithms to create RF notch filters and demultiplexers. Additionally, the device holds promise for binary, reservoir, and neuromorphic computing applications.
