Numerical Modeling of Purely Active (Plume‐Produced) Continental Rifting and Break‐Up
Abstract In contrast to the traditional mechanism of passive continental rifting (driven by far‐field tectonic forces), the active rifting‐to‐break‐up processes (caused by rising mantle plumes) are still poorly understood. However, most episodes of fragmentation of the last supercontinent Pangea were relatively shortly preceded (within ∼10 Myr) by the ...

Improved bounds on the peak sidelobe level of binary sequences
Schmidt proved in 2014 that if $\varepsilon>0$, almost all binary sequences of length $n$ have peak sidelobe level between $(\sqrt{2}-\varepsilon)\sqrt{n\log n}$ and $(\sqrt{2}+\varepsilon)\sqrt{n\log n}$. Because of the small gap between his upper and lower bounds, it is difficult to find improved upper bounds that hold for almost all binary ...

Sub‐THz Multifunctional Metasurfaces for Independent Transmission or Reflection Phase Manipulation
This article presents a rigorous analysis, design, and characterization of a novel sub‐THz metalens and reflective metasurface. Unlike bulky optical systems, the proposed thin, planar metasurface enables dual‐band full‐space wavefront control, via low‐loss transmission and reflection phase tuning, offering compact integration and improved ...

This work introduces a beamforming‐based method to generate acoustic images from fiber‐optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data. By performing 2D scanning around the sensing fiber, the approach enables near‐field imaging and localization of acoustic sources, even in regions distant from the fiber. A data‐driven DAS channel selection improves image

Optimization in the design of a 12 gigahertz low cost ground receiving system for broadcast satellites. Volume 2: Antenna system and interference [PDF]
The antenna characteristics are analyzed of a low cost mass-producible ground station to be used in broadcast satellite systems. It is found that a prime focus antenna is sufficient for a low-cost but not a low noise system.

Optimum coding techniques for MST radars [PDF]
The optimum coding technique for MST (mesosphere stratosphere troposphere) radars is that which gives the lowest possible sidelobes in practice and can be implemented without too much computing power. Coding techniques are described in Farley (1985).
