Our theory relates the secondary spectrum, the 2D power spectrum of the radio dynamic spectrum, to the scattered pulsar image in a thin scattering screen geometry. Recently discovered parabolic arcs in secondary spectra are generic features…
Luminosity is an intrinsic property of radio pulsars related to the properties of the magnetospheric plasma and the beam geometry, and inversely proportional to the observing frequency. In traditional models, luminosity has been considered…
We informally review the construction of spacetime geometries with multifractal and, more generally, multiscale properties. Based on fractional calculus, these continuous spacetimes have their dimension changing with the scale; they display…
The radar interferometric absolute phase is essential for estimating topography and displacements. However, its conventional definition based on the range difference is idealized in that it cannot be applied to complex, dynamic targets.…
Superposition and entanglement, the quintessential characteristics of quantum physics, have been shown to provide communication, computation, and sensing capabilities that go beyond what classical physics will permit. It is natural,…

Millimeter-wave radar offers unique advantages in adverse weather but suffers from low spatial fidelity, severe azimuth ambiguity, and clutter-induced spurious returns. Existing methods mainly focus on improving spatial perception…
We show that if the visible universe is a membrane embedded in a higher-dimensional space, particles in uniform motion radiate gravitational waves because of spacetime lumpiness. This phenomenon is analogous to the electromagnetic…

'Downwards drifting' structures observed in fast radio bursts (FRBs) could naturally arise from a screen occurring after a small initial dispersion measure region. The screen imprints temporally sharp but broadband structure on the pulse…
A determination is made of the radiation emitted by a linearly uniformly accelerated uncharged dipole transmitter. It is found that, first of all, the radiation rate is given by the familiar Larmor formula, but it is augmented by an amount…
Radar uncertainty principle indicates that there is an inherent invariance in the product of the time-delay and Doppler-shift measurement accuracy and resolution which can be tuned by the waveform at transmitter. In this paper, based on the…
