Photonic crystal PC composites are sequenced series of PCs that feature the same periods but different filling fractions. By properly tuning the filling fractions of the individual PCs and merging the working band of each PC into a continuous frequency range, wide-band self-collimation of optical signals can be realized. The band diagrams and the equal-frequency contours of the PC structures we...

ABSTRACT A likelihood ratio test is proposed for moving target detection in an ultra wide frequency band and wide antenna beam (wide band) SAR system. The developed method combines time domain fast backprojection SAR processing methods with moving target detection. It saves computational load when all relative speeds can be tested using the same clutter suppressed sub-aperture beams. The propos...

A novel technique for a self-equalized distributed amplifier is presented by showing the analogy between transversal filters and distributed amplifier topologies. The appropriate delay and gain coefficients of amplifier circuit are obtained by a Fourier expansion of the raised cosine spectrum in the frequency range of 0-40GHz.

A compact rectangular slot antenna with single wide band-notched characteristics is proposed. This co-planar waveguide (CPW) fed antenna is suitable for ultra wide band (UWB), X-, Kuand K-band applications. The patch of the antenna is a modified rectangular slot with T-stub structure in an elliptical slot etched in the radiating patch. This T-stub structure creates wide band notched at WLAN and...
