The Chinese Journal of Radio Science is a Chinese-language journal of radiowave propagation and electromagnetic wave research, published by the China Research Institute of Radiowave Propagation and recorded in this directory at Xinxiang, Henan. Its Chinese title is Dianbo Kexue Xuebao, and it appears in bibliographic services under the combined form Dianbo Kexue Xuebao/Chinese Journal of Radio Science, with ISSN 1005-0388. Scopus coverage of the journal is recorded for 1998 and from 2001 onward. Its pages are devoted to how radio waves travel — through the ionosphere, through the troposphere, across terrain and through built environments — and to the antennas, scattering theory and channel models on which all radio systems depend.
Most journals are published by societies or commercial houses; this one is published by a research institute whose entire mission is the journal's subject. Bibliographic records name its publisher as the Chinese Research Institute of Radiowave Propagation — also rendered China Research Institute of Radiowave Propagation — the Chinese institute dedicated to radiowave propagation research. A journal published from inside that institute speaks for a defined national research community: the scientists who measure and model the ionosphere and troposphere for China's communication, radar, navigation and space systems.
The journal's volume sequence shows a long, continuous run: volume 29 in 2014, volume 37 in 2022 and volume 38 in 2023, appearing under the English masthead CHINESE JOURNAL OF RADIO SCIENCE on its own site, cjors.cn. Its articles carry DOIs under the stem 10.12265/j.cjors, and the journal operates an online-first stream in which peer-reviewed, accepted articles are published citable by DOI before they are assigned to a volume and issue — the working rhythm of an established, currently active research journal.
The journal's ISSN is 1005-0388, its standard abbreviation is Dianbo Kexue Xuebao/Chin. J. Radio Sci., and its publication country is China. Scopus-derived summaries record its coverage as 1998 and 2001–2024, classify it in electrical and electronic engineering, and place it in the fourth quartile of that category. The same summaries give it an h-index of 22 and a SCImago Journal Rank of 0.187, with an impact score of 0.67 in the 2023 computation.
Those numbers describe a specialist national journal rather than an international generalist title: a defined community publishing steadily in Chinese, indexed in Scopus for more than two decades, and cited chiefly by the researchers who work on radio propagation in and beyond China. For a directory, its importance lies less in its metrics than in its function — it is the journal of record for Chinese radiowave propagation science, a field in which China maintains substantial national capability for both civil and strategic reasons.
The ionosphere — the ionised upper atmosphere that refracts and reflects radio waves — is the journal's most characteristic subject, as its issue contents show. Its 2022 volume alone carried a preliminary analysis of daytime electron density in the ionospheric E–F valley based on observations from the Qujing incoherent scatter radar; a study of the consistency and coherence of the ionospheric short-wave transmission channel based on multi-station sounding; a method for reconstructing regional ionospheric total-electron-content maps at high spatial and temporal resolution; and a report of observations from the tri-band beacon aboard the CSES (Zhangheng-1) satellite.
Earlier issues show the same depth: a point-to-point ionospheric ray-tracing simulator designed for oblique propagation in the ionosphere and frequency selection in HF communication, integrating the Haselgrove equations with ionospheric environments generated from the IRI2007 model or from real ionograms; and work on incoherent scatter radar signal processing and parameter estimation, including the use of China's Qujing radar for measuring space debris. Ionospheric research of this kind underpins high-frequency communication, over-the-horizon radar, satellite navigation accuracy and space-weather awareness, and the journal is one of its principal Chinese-language homes.
The lower atmosphere is the journal's second great medium. Radio waves are refracted by the troposphere as well as the ionosphere, and the error that refraction introduces is a main source of inaccuracy in navigation, positioning, measurement and control systems — a problem Chinese researchers, including authors from the propagation institute itself, have worked on for high-accuracy and deep-space applications. The journal's pages carry that work directly: its 2023 volume included a study on the conversion of annual statistics to worst-month statistics for radio wave propagation, the kind of statistical groundwork on which international propagation models and link budgets are built.
Propagation in real environments extends the theme further. Recorded papers include path-loss prediction based on machine learning and satellite imagery, measurement and modelling of an X-band indoor channel, multipath clustering methods for wireless channel modelling, and, in the online-first stream, modelling and characterisation of millimetre-wave channels for urban low-altitude scenarios and multimodal methods for unmanned-aerial-vehicle millimetre-wave channel modelling in rural environments. The line from classical refraction statistics to machine-learned channel models is a single research tradition — predicting how a radio signal will actually behave between two points — and the journal documents its whole modern span.
Alongside propagation, the journal publishes the electromagnetic theory and antenna engineering that complete radio science. A single 2023 issue carried the fast physical-optics method based on adaptive mesh technique; an efficient domain-decomposition method for the boundary integral equation for electromagnetic scattering of satellite targets; direction-of-arrival estimation for sparse cross-dipole arrays; a dual-band implantable antenna for an intra-oral tongue-drive system; a full-angle frequency beam-scanning antenna; and a broadband satellite-navigation antenna. Other issues add reconfigurable power dividers from S-band to millimetre wave, time-modulated array antennas, and filters and metasurface structures.
The online-first articles show where this strand is heading: reconfigurable-intelligent-surface work, including an RIS-based anti-jamming design and a review of RIS-enabled integrated sensing and communication; terahertz metasurfaces; and pattern-reconfigurable antenna arrays. This is the applied end of radio science — the design of the structures that launch, shape and receive the waves whose propagation the journal's other half studies — and the two halves belong in one journal because a radio system fails or succeeds on both together.
A third strand concerns whole radio systems. Recorded papers include joint design of illuminator selection and receiver deployment in passive MIMO radar; power and bandwidth balancing for the outgoing link of multi-beam high-throughput satellites; modelling of SAR satellite interference with ground-based radar; frequency planning methods for joint operations; and analysis of electromagnetic waves used while drilling for mineral identification. Radar scattering from the lunar surface, simulated for the soft-landing control of the Chang'e-3 probe, appeared in the journal as early as 2014 — a reminder that its community's work reaches from terrestrial channels to planetary missions.
The journal publishes in Chinese — its papers are marked as Chinese-language in international citations — while maintaining an English-language presence through its site at cjors.cn, where issue contents and online-first articles are listed under English titles. Its readership is the Chinese radio-science community: propagation researchers, antenna and radar engineers, and the institutes and universities that supply China's communication, navigation and space programmes.
It should be distinguished from similarly named titles. It is not the American Radio Science journal of AGH/URSI, nor the Chinese Journal of Electronics. Its marks are its Chinese title Dianbo Kexue Xuebao, its publisher the China Research Institute of Radiowave Propagation, its Xinxiang recording in this directory, its DOI stem 10.12265/j.cjors and ISSN 1005-0388.
Every radio system — every radar, satellite link, navigation receiver and mobile network — is designed against predictions of how waves propagate, and those predictions come from the research literature of journals like this one. The Chinese Journal of Radio Science has carried China's propagation, antenna and electromagnetic research, in Chinese, for decades, under the imprint of the national institute for the subject and with Scopus coverage reaching back to 1998. It is included in this directory as China's specialist magazine and academic journal of radio science.
