Abstract

This letter designed a circularly polarized horn antenna by loading a frequency selective surface (FSS) polarization converter at the aperture of a standard horn. The proposed polarization converter is based on multilayer nonresonant FSS. It is composed of a two-layer dielectric slab and three printed metal layers, which are etched on the top, middle, and bottom layers of the slab. The three metal layers consist of a two-layer patch with a square truncated corner and a one-layer grid line with a slot. By introducing perturbation to both the patch and the grid line, the polarization converter shows a low profile and subwavelength unit size, whose dimension is 0.18λ0 × 0.18λ0 while the thickness is only 0.1λ0. The simulated results show that the axial ratio (AR) is less than 3 dB in the frequency range of 9.6–11.7 GHz, i.e., a fractional bandwidth of 19.7% within the targeted frequency band. The measurement results are in a good agreement with the simulation results, which proves the feasibility of the design.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
