Article Abstract
Fear memories are influenced by psychological and environmental variables. We evaluated the effect of 2.45 GHz microwave radiation on rats' fear learning and memory ability to determine the potential risks. The present study aimed to assess the impacts of corticosterone (CORT) levels on the consolidation and reconsolidation of fear conditioning memories. The rats were evaluated in contextual fear conditioning using foot shocks in both short-term (7 days) exposure and long-term (30 days) exposure. Young male Wistar rats were continually exposed to radio frequency electromagnetic field radiation for 5-6 weeks (1 h/day) with a frequency, power density, and pulse width of 2.45 GHz, 6.0 mW/cm, and 2 ms, respectively. Several animals housed in identical conditions without exposure to radiation were monitored. Based on the results, a significant increase and decrease in body weight and percentage of the freezing time were observed after the short-term group respectively. However, in the long term, we observed no significant difference in body weight, and the freezing time decreased substantially. As CORT levels were analyzed, long-term radiation might increase stress, which was associated with significant weight loss in rats.

Design of a Dual-Band Low-Noise Amplifier with a Novel Matching Structure.

This paper proposes a method for designing a dual-band low-noise amplifier (DB-LNA) using a new improved complex impedance dual-band transformer (IDBT). This complex IDBT is composed of parallel-coupled lines and two sections of series microstrip lines. The parallel-coupled lines are used to complete the transformation from complex impedances at two different frequencies to a pair of conjugate complex impedances, meanwhile eliminating the need for DC blocking capacitors.

One effective strategy for achieving such resonances involves the bound state in the continuum effect (BIC). In this paper, we demonstrate a comprehensive study of the BIC in complementary planar Babinet metamaterials in a microwave regime.

We have developed a microwave spectrometer for a measurement of the Lamb shift of antihydrogen atoms towards the determination of the antiproton charge radius. The spectrometer consists of two consecutive apparatuses, of which the first apparatus, (HFS), filters out hyperfine states and pre-selects the state, and the second apparatus, (MWS), sweeps the frequency around the target transition to obtain the spectrum. We optimized the geometry of the apparatuses by evaluating the S-parameter that represents the ratio of the reflected microwave signal over the input, utilizing microwave simulations based on the finite element method.

Article Synopsis
- - The study introduces a circularly-polarized planar monopole antenna designed for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications, utilizing characteristic mode analysis (CMA) to achieve broader bandwidths.
- - A crescent-shaped radiator and circular open-loop antenna initially had limited performance in achieving wideband characteristics; modifications like a triangular slit and L-shaped strip were added to improve the axial ratio bandwidth substantially.
- - The final design boasts a compact size and impressive performance metrics, including a -10 dB S bandwidth of 5.73-10.78 GHz, a 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 6-11.12 GHz, and effective gain and efficiency, demonstrating strong omnidirectional radiation patterns across frequencies. *

Broadband electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption materials play an important role in military stealth and health protection. Herein, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived magnetic-carbon CoNiM@C (M = Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn) microspheres are fabricated, which exhibit flower-like nano-microstructure with tunable EM response capacity. Based on the MOFs-derived CoNi@C microsphere, the adjacent third element is introduced into magnetic CoNi alloy to enhance EM wave absorption performance.
