The general Bandpass-B problem is NP-hard and can be approximated by a reduction into the weighted B-set packing problem, with a worst case performance ratio of O(B). When B = 2, a maximum weight matching gives a 2-approximation to the problem. In this paper, we call the Bandpass-2 problem simply the Bandpass problem. The Bandpass problem can be viewed as a variation of the maximum traveling sa...

A compact microstrip bandpass filter using miniaturized hairpin resonators is presented in this letter. Two modified stepped impedance hairpin resonators connected by parallel coupling are designed for the bandpass filter. The proposed miniaturized hairpin resonator is composed of a microstrip line and rectangular ring structures between parallel high impedance lines. A big capacitance in the h...

synthesize and design the new printed Bandpass Filtering Antenna. For the purpose of miniaturization and enhancing the overall performance of the circuit, a multifunction module is designed. It performs filtering and radiating, simultaneously with the help of codesign approach. A detailed synthesis and design procedure is given of two types of filtering antennas. Type 1 is 2.45 GHz third-order ...

We propose here a deep multilayer grating with adjustable bandpass as an alternative dispersing element to PET crystal in WDXRF spectroscopy. When making a multilayer grating, we remove part of the reflecting planes of a multilayer, allowing radiation to penetrate deeper. Since the resolution, or the bandpass, is reciprocally proportional to the penetration depth, we improve the resolution and ...

This paper reports the first derived thermo-optical properties for vacuum deposited infrared thin films embedded in multilayers. These properties were extracted from the temperature-dependence of manufactured narrow bandpass filters across the 4-17 µm mid-infrared wavelength region. Using a repository of spaceflight multi-cavity bandpass filters, the thermo-optical expansion coefficients of PbT...

In this paper, a novel design method for bandpass filter with attenuation poles (BAP) is presented. The changed inverter element values due to inserting either capacitors or inductors can be optimized using the linear relationship between inverter element values of a conventional bandpass filter (BPF) and those of the BAP using the Touchstone program. A 1800–1825MHz bandpass filter with attenua...

Microstrip technology is widely applied for design and implementation of several communication devices such as filters, diplexers, triplexers, multiplexers, couplers, etc. They are utilized to isolate desired signals remove disturbing signals. The layout diplexers triplexers have two, three four ports, respectively. Passive filters at least one pass channel, whereas two channels transmit the si...

This paper presents an improved linearity variable-gain amplifier (VGA) in 0.18-µm CMOS technology. The lineari­ty improvement is resulted from employing a new combinational technique, which utilizes third-order-intermodulation (IM3) cancellation mechanism using second-order-intermodul­ation (­IM2) injection, and intermodulation distortion (IMD) sinking techniques. The proposed VGA gain cell co...

The designed filter is based on 5th order chebyshev low pass prototype with .1 dB passband ripples. The filter operates with passband from 2GHz-4 GHz, produces a fractional bandwidth of 66%. The filter is de...

The first-order sampling of multi-band bandpass signals with arbitrary band positions is considered in this paper. Gaps between the spectral sub-bands are utilized to achieve lower sampling rates than the Nyquist. The lowest possible sampling rate along with other permissible sampling rates is identified via a unique partition of the frequency axis. With the complete identification of all the p...
