Simultaneous Use of the Born and Rytov Approximations in Real-Time Imaging
Fourier-space scattered-power mapping (F-SPM) is proposed as a computationally efficient alternative to the original real-space SPM method for real-time quantitative image reconstruction with an emphasis on close-range and near-field applications. A combined Born-Rytov F-SPM method is exhibited that consistently improves the image quality in comparison with the images generated when using either approximation separately.

A 200 GHz Fully Integrated, Polarization-Resolved Quasi-Optical Detector
A 200-GHz polarization-resolved quasi-optical detector employing monolithically integrated zero-bias heterostructure backward diodes (HBDs) is demonstrated. The detector is promising for developing terahertz polarimetric sensors and imaging arrays in chemical sensing, biomedical imaging, and radio astronomy applications.
Wideband Amplifier Delivers +24 dBm
from 71 to 86 GHz
Mini-Circuits’ ZVA-71863HP+ is a coaxial, medium power amplifier operating from 71 to 86 GHz, supporting a wide range of high-frequency applications from automotive testing to E-band 5G, SATCOM and more. The amplifier provides 38 dB gain with ±1.5 dB flatness and +24 dBm output power at saturation. This model operates over a single supply voltage range from +10 to +15V.

Peak Power Handling Capability in Groove Gap Waveguide Filters Based
This letter studies the peak power handling capability (PPHC) in groove gap waveguide filters based on horizontally polarized resonators. Moreover, a modification of the resonant cavity is proposed, where the central pins of the original structure are replaced by a rounded metal block.

Continuously Tunable 3-D Printed Helical Resonators and Bandpass Filters
This letter reports on a new class of agile helical resonators and bandpass filters (BPFs) with continuously-tunable center frequency. RF tuning is achieved by altering the liquid metal (LM) volume within an additively-manufactured plastic tube that has the shape of a helix and forms the inner conductor of the helical resonator.
