AbstractIn this study, a new ultra-wideband (UWB) band-edge selectivity antenna with a modified radiation slot using defected ground structure (DGS) is presented to obtain bandpass filtering reflection coefficient and gain performance. The well-designed DGS is designed on backside metallic of the substrate and can be seen as a low-pass filter that provides a good roll-off at a higher frequency. By connecting the DGS and the stepped slot and making them merge with each other, good cut-off property in the upper passband and better in-band impedance characteristics are obtained. Measured results show that the proposed design not only shows good band-edge selectivity in reflection coefficient and gain performance but also has a good impedance matching of −13.5 dB reflection coefficients and a good radiation efficiency of 90% in the operating frequencies. The measured bandwidth defined with the reflection coefficient less than −10 dB is from 3.1–11.2 GHz. Furthermore, the size of the filtering UWB antenna is 22 mm × 12 mm, which is smaller than many individual UWB antennas and UWB filters.

MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical-Systems) technology applied to the field of Radio Frequency systems (i.e. RF-MEMS) has emerged in the last 10-15 years as a valuable and viable solution to manufacture low-cost and very high-performance passive components, like variable capacitors, inductors and micro-relays, as well as complex networks, like tunable filters, reconfigurable impedance matching networks and phase shifters, and so on. The availability of such components and their integration within RF systems (e.g. radio transceivers, radars, satellites, etc.) enables boosting the characteristics and performance of telecommunication systems, addressing for instance a significant increase of their reconfigurability. The benefits resulting from the employment of RF-MEMS technology are paramount, being some of them the reduction of hardware redundancy and power consumption, along with the operability of the same RF system according to multiple standards. After framing more in detail the whole context of RF MEMS technology, this paper will provide a brief introduction on a typical RF-MEMS technology platform. Subsequently, some relevant examples of lumped RF MEMS passive elements and complex reconfigurable networks will be reported along with their measured RF performance and characteristics.

Homodyne photothermal spectrometry (HPS) is a very wide bandwidth signal recovery technique which uses many of the elements of lock-in detection at very low cost. The method uses a frequency sweep, with a high-frequency bandwidth of up to 10 MHz, to excite a linear photothermal system. The response sweep of the photothermal system is downshifted into a bandwidth of a few kilohertz by means of in-phase mixing with the excitation sweep with the use of a four-quadrant double-balanced mixer and a low-pass filter. Under conditions derived from theory, the filter output gives a good approximation to the real part of the photothermal system's frequency response, dispersed as a function of time. From a recording of this signal, the frequency and impulse response of the photothermal system are rapidly recovered at very high resolution. The method has been tested with the use of laser photopyroelectric effect spectrometry and provides an inexpensive, convenient method for the recovery of high-frequency photothermal signals.

We developed a simple method to fabricate SiO2-sphere-supported N-doped CNTs (NCNTs) for electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption. EMW absorption was tuned by adsorption of the organic agent on the precursor of the catalysts. The experimental results show that the conductivity loss and polarization loss of the sample are improved. Meanwhile, the impedance matching characteristics can also be adjusted. When the matching thickness was only 1.5 mm, the optimal 3D structure shows excellent EMW absorption performance, which is better than most magnetic carbon matrix composites. Our current approach opens up an effective way to develop low-cost, high-performance EMW absorbers.

This research article presents, a compact 0.19 λ x 0.32 λ size ACS fed printed monopole wideband antenna loaded with multiple radiating branches suitable for LTE2300/WiBro, 5 GHz WLAN and WiMAX applications. The proposed triple band uniplanar antenna encompasses of C shaped strip, L shaped strip, rectangular shaped strip and a lateral ground plane. All the radiating strips and ground plane are etched on the 26 × 15 m size low cost FR4 epoxy substrate. This designed geometry evoked three independent reonances at 2.3 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5.5 GHz with precise impedance matching over each operating band. The reflection coefficient ( ) response of the presented antenna demonstrates three distinct resonant modes associated with -10 dB bandwidths are about 2.24-2.40 GHz, 3.38-3.83 GHz and 5.0-6.25 GHz respectively. From the study, it is also observed that the proposed design works perfect with microstrip as well as CPW feedings. Hence the designed Multi Feed Multi Band (MFMB) antenna can be easily deployed in to any portable wireless device that works for 2.3/3.5/ 5 GHz frequency bands.

Abstract Analog circuit realization of fractional order (FO) elements is a significant step for the industrialization of FO control systems because of enabling a low-cost, electric circuit realization by means of standard industrial electronics components. This study demonstrates an effective operational amplifier-based analog circuit realization of approximate FO integral elements for industrial electronics. To this end, approximate transfer function models of FO integral elements, which are calculated by using Matsuda’s approximation method, are decomposed into the sum of low-pass filter forms according to the partial fraction expansion. Each partial fraction term is implemented by using low-pass filters and amplifier circuits, and these circuits are combined with a summing amplifier to compose the approximate FO integral circuits. Widely used low-cost industrial electronics components, which are LF347N opamps, resistor and capacitor components, are used to achieve a discrete, easy-to-build analog realization of the approximate FO integral elements. The performance of designed circuit is compared with performance of Krishna’s FO circuit design and performance improvements are shown. The study presents design, performance validation and experimental verification of this straightforward approximate FO integral realization method.
