Hu, Weidong (author), Xu, Zhihao (author), Jiang, Huanyu (author), Liu, Qingguo (author), Yao, Zhiyu (author), Tan, Zhen (author), Ligthart, L.P. (author)The terahertz frequency modulation continuous-wave (THz FMCW) imaging technology has been widely used in non-destructive testing applications. However, THz FMCW real-aperture radar usually has a small depth of field and poor lateral resolution, thus restricting the high-precision imaging application. This paper proposes a 150-220 GHz FMCW...journal article 2023

Tan, Xiaotong (author), Xu, Heyong (author), Tian, R. (author)Delayed detached eddy simulation (DDES) is used to simulate the flow field around the conformal optical window turret and the flat optical window turret. The aero-optical effect and the far-field diffraction result of the two optical windows at 0°, 90° and 180° angles are quantitatively analyzed based on the flow field around the turret....journal article 2023

Ren, Chao (author), Tan, J. (author), Xing, Yihan (author)Wave energy is considered one of the most potential renewable energy. In the last two decades, many wave energy converters (WECs) have been designed to harvest energy from the ocean. Different power take-off systems are developed to maximize the power generation of WECs. However, the estimation of the power matrix of the WECs and annual power...journal article 2023

Li, Yangzhi (author), Hu, Yusong (author), Tan, T. (author), Yu, Boyuan (author), Li, Jingwei (author), Fingrut, Adam (author)The prevailing issue of low housing supply is caused in part by a lack of skilled construction workers. If unskilled residents were adequately equipped, they could potentially address this issue, expanding and adapting their homes without professional builders and designers. This research proposes the use of discrete components to build on...conference paper 2023
