Resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) support room-temperature terahertz (THz) oscillation and simultaneous THz-band detection, enabling compact monostatic THz sensors for practical and cost-effective sensing applications. In this paper, we present a highly integrated 280 GHz-band radar system based on a single RTD that exploits the self-mixing effect to generate a low-frequency interferometric signal. The resulting self-mixing signal is further analyzed from a radar perspective and processed to extract micrometer-scale displacement and thin-film thickness variations. Experimentally, the proposed system demonstrates a minimum detectable displacement of approximately 5 um and quantitatively resolves polymer film thicknesses of 12.5, 25, and 50 um.

Two-point boundary value problems for cislunar trajectories present significant challenges in circler restricted three body problem, making traditional analytical methods like Lambert's problem inapplicable. This study proposes a novel approach using a prefixed patch time series Transformer model that automates the solution of two-point boundary value problems from lunar flyby to arbitrary terminal conditions. Using prefix tokens of terminal conditions in our deep generative model enables solving boundary value problems in three-body dynamics. The training dataset consists of trajectories obtained through forward propagation rather than solving boundary value problems directly. The model demonstrates potential practical utility for preliminary trajectory design in cislunar mission scenarios.
