zk-Fabric, a Polylithic Syntax Zero Knowledge Joint Proof System

In this paper, we create a single-use and full syntax zero-knowledge proof system, a.k.a zk-Fabric. Comparing with zk-SNARKS and another variant zero-knowledge proofing system, zkBOO and it's variant zkBOO++. We present multiple new approaches on how to use partitioned garbled circuits to achieve a joint zero-knowledge proof system, with the benefits of less overhead and full syntax verification. zk-Fabric based on partitioned garbled circuits has the advantage of being versatile and single-use, meaning it can be applied to arbitrary circuits with more comprehensive statements, and it can achieve the non-interactivity among all participants. One of the protocols proposed within is used for creating a new kind of partitioned garbled circuits to match the comprehensive Boolean logical expression with multiple variables, we use the term "polythitic syntax" to refer to the context-based multiple variables in a comprehensive statement. We also designed a joint zero knowledge proof protocol that uses partitioned garbled circuits

Manipulation of Orbital Angular Momentum Spectrum Using Shape-Tailored Metasurfaces

Vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) have been widely applied in various electromagnetic, optical, and quantum systems. A tailored OAM spectrum composed of several specific modes as expected holds a promise for expanding the degrees of freedom of the systems. However, such a broadband high-purity tailored spectrum is difficult to be achieved by the present devices, where the broadband amplitude manipulation has not been explored yet. In this work, inspired by the envelope-modulation theory, an elegant and universal way to manipulate the OAM spectrum in wide bandwidth is proposed by using a shape-tailored metasurface. Firstly, the rotating meta-atoms on a triangular lattice are proved to have smaller coupling distortion than that on a square lattice, and this behavior is critical for high-purity vortex spectrum generation by the Pancharatnam-Berry-based metasurfaces. Secondly, a universal modulation relation is established between the spatial arrangement of metasurfaces and the generated vortex beams. Finally, the broadband modulated OAM spectra and the comb-like OAM spectra are theoretically and experimentally demonstrated by the shape-tailored metasurfaces. The proposed amplitude-modulation scheme offers a novel concept and engineering route to manipulate the OAM spectrum in wide bandwidth, which could promote the development of OAM-based applications.

Ultra-wideband Reflection-type Metasurface for Generating Integer and Fractional Orbital Angular Momentum

Vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum are extensively studied owing to its potential to expand channel capacity of microwave and optical communication. By utilizing the Pancharatnam-Berry phase concept, an ultra-wideband single layer metasurface is proposed to realize the conversion from incident plane waves to reflected vortex beams covering a considerable bandwidth from 6.75 to 21.85 GHz . An equivalent circuit model combined with broadband phase shift network is developed to effectively design the meta-atoms in metasurface. It is the first time to design wideband metasurfaces with the phase-based characteristics. To verify the proposed model, some deformed square loop meta-atoms are proposed to construct the metasurfaces with broadband OAM characteristic. Moreover, the vortex beams with the integer (l = -3), fractional (l = -1.5), and high-order (l = -10) OAM mode are generated respectively. Based on an OAM spectral analysis, the mode purity of the generated vortex waves is discussed in detail. The experimental results achieve a good agreement with those obtained from the simulation, thus proving the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed method.

Design of Wideband Microstrip Filters with Non-Equiripple Responses and Low Sensitivity

This paper presents a novel design procedure for wideband microstrip bandpass filters with non-equiripple filtering frequency responses and low sensitivity. Different from the traditional Chebyshev transfer function filters, the return loss zeros of the proposed non-equiripple filters can be redistributed within the operating passband. For the industrial applications, the proposed filters have a reduced sensitivity to manufacturing errors and exhibit good tolerance control for both specified bandwidth and maximum in-band reflection loss. By deriving the transfer functions, a synthesis approach with a set of non-linear equations can be established according to the specifications such as the bandwidth and predetermined reflection lobes. Without performing any post optimization in the full-wave simulation, the non-equiripple synthesized results have less sensitivity and fractional bandwidth (delta) error in comparison with those obtained from traditional Chebyshev transfer functions with equiripple frequency responses. As design examples, a four-pole bandpass filter with delta=60% and a five-pole bandpass filter with delta=82.5% are designed and fabricated. Measured results show a good agreement with those obtained from the prediction, without any tuning or adjustments.
