In recent years, wireless communications have progressed very rapidly. In order to provide with large bandwidth for any wireless application, wideband antenna design has become very important. In the reported literature [1-2], some of CPW-fed and microstrip-line-fed wide-slot antennas have been proposed for the wideband operation. The impedance bandwidths of the wide-slot designs [1-2] can reac...

In this paper, a low voltage ultra-wideband RF receiver for Software-Defined Radio (SDR) is presented. In SDR design, the radio frequency (RF) receiver should be able to receive signals over a broadbandwidth so that it can satisfy a variety of different communication standards. In the proposed design, working frequency ranging from 0.1GHz to 6GHz RF front-end for SDR, covering almost all of mat...

Ultra-wideband radio is an enabling microwave technology for broadband communication and high-resolution sensing. However, the full realization of its potential requires further research on ultra-wideband signal propagation and interference with existing narrowband systems. Such questions can be rigorously resolved from the fundamental viewpoint of electromagnetic theory. Yet, this approach has...

Ultra Wideband (UWB) has a number of applications that make it attractive for a variety of applications such as microwave imaging, wireless communications, ground penetrating radars, remote sensing and phased arrays. This paper offered the design of a tapered slot Vivaldi antenna for ultra-wideband application using FR4 substrate which has relative permittivity of 4.4. The Vivaldi Antenna is de...

Systems that can operate over wide frequency ranges with agile beam scanning and frequency hopping are receiving increased attention due to recent trends within communication, radar and EW applications. In addition to requiring wideband apertures, T/R modules, beamforming and beam shaping, a wideband multifunction antenna system must also be able to instantaneously reconfigure the array to the ...

This article presents a low-power fully-differential 3.5GHz wideband complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) lownoise amplifier (LNA) based on the LC-ladder match network approach. To have low power consumption and high power gain, two commonsource stages are cascaded for reusing the bias current. To have wideband low noise figure, the gate width of the input transistor is determined fro...

Applying numerical modeling coupled with experiments, we investigate the properties of wideband resonant reflectors under fully conical light incidence. We show that the wave vectors pertinent to resonant first-order diffraction under fully conical mounting vary less with incident angle than those associated with reflectors in classical mounting. Therefore, as the evanescent diffracted waves dr...

A new dual-polarized antenna loading frequency-selective surface (FSS) is proposed for 5G wireless local networks (WLANs) application. The antenna consists of two orthogonal bow-tie dipoles and a ground plane. A new wideband FSS is designed comprising ring-slot connecting rectangular slots. The reflection coefficient of wideband FSS is less than 0.9 from 4–6.5GHz. The phase of reflection coeffi...

Inverse scattering refers the retrieval of the unknown constitutive parameters from measured scattered wave fields, and has many applications such as ultrasound imaging, optics, T-ray imaging, radar, and etc. Two distinct imaging strategies have been commonly used: narrow band inverse scattering approaches using a large number of transmitters and receivers, or wideband imaging approaches with s...

during the last two decades, maximum likelihood estimation (ml) has been used to determine direction of arrival (doa) and signals propagated by the sources, using narrowband array signals. the algorithm fails in the case of wideband signals. as an attempt by the present study to overcome the problem, the array outputs are transformed into narrowband frequency bins, using short time fourier tran...
