New method reconstructs microwave signals using only magnitude data

Researchers have developed a method to reconstruct time-domain-gated microwave signals using only magnitude data, a departure from the typical requirement for complex values and vector network analyzers. This new approach utilizes a spectrum analyzer with a tracking generator and a fully connected neural network. The technique was tested on a thoracic phantom with lung-shaped compartments, achieving comparable results to traditional methods for S11 measurements and maintaining ordered states for S21 measurements.

    When Magnitude Suffices: Reconstructing Time-Domain-Gated Microwave Signals Without Phase on a Thoracic Phantom

    arXiv:2610.23608v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time-domain gating separates the arrivals that form a microwave S-parameter measurement. It requires the measurement of complex values, so this application almost always uses a vector network analyzer (VNA). We show that, on one cal…
