Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Metasurfaces, with their precise control over electromagnetic waves, significantly enhance resolution and sensitivity when integrated into millimeter (mm)-wave radar systems. This paper presents the latest developments in metasurface technology for biomedical sensing, featuring an adaptable, compact, near-field-focused transmissive array designed for air-skin interface matching. Constructed using frequency-selective surface theory, the metasurface comprises layers of phase-synthesized unitcells and seamlessly integrates with commercially available radar operating within the$\mathbf{5 8}-\mathbf{6 3 G H z}$frequency band. The evolution of this system is depicted, starting with a single-focus metasurface and advancing to dual-focus configurations that overcome the inherent limitations of the previous design. Furthermore, this approach is extended to multi-focus sensor architectures, where data fusion from multiple radars enhances power delivery to the skin at various depths and locations. The design effectively concentrates absorbed power density within the skin, while radar signal processing analysis demonstrates a corresponding improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
