This paper presents a through-type harmonic transponder for S-band nonlinear radar. To increase the operating frequency range, 2-stage L-shaped matching network was configured input and output networks. In previous studies, conventional transponders were with λ/4 stubs in networks to minimize influence of these because impedance mismatch suppresses second fundamental signals. However, this desi...

This paper presents a coplanar waveguide fed rectangular slot antenna tuned by a patch stub. The presented antenna has 98% impedance bandwidth, and 6 dB average gain. The antenna can be used in phased array applications with more than 61% usable bandwidth.

This paper is aimed at demonstrating the high capabilities of KTa0.5Nb0.5O3 thin films for microwave agility applications. Tunable capacitors, resonators and phase shifters were realized with KTN materials. Their high frequency measurements showed, in particular, the very high tuning factors of these films under quite low electric field. Index Terms Ferroelectrics, Interdigital Capacitors, Phas...

We have observed that the size and shape of the conducting reflector of CPW-fed slot antennas using loading metallic strips and a widened tuning stub have significant impact on the antenna impedance matching and radiation pattern. By shaping the reflecting conductor, noticeable enhancements in both radiation pattern which provides uni-directional all frequency operating band and characteristic ...

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...

in this paper two nodes to model isotropic and anisotropic media in transmission line matrix method (tlm) are presented. by using these two nodes, the permeability and permittivity of an anisotropic media can be modeled simultaneously. another application of these nodes is in modeling media with permittivity and permeability less than one. in the conventional 2 dimensional tlm, the stubs repres...
