The wall admittance of an arbitrarily shaped microstrip antenna is generally formulated. As examples, elliptical microstrip antennas with and without a circular slot are calculated. The wall admittance is determined by the spectral domain analysis in order to consider the effect of the dielectric substrate. The electromagnetic fields within the cavity are expanded in terms of the eigenfunctions...

Further results are presented for the direct problem of scattering of high-frequency waves by cracks in elastic solids. Results for a penny-shaped crack, obtained on the basis of geometrical diffraction theory, are compared with experimental data. For simple crack geometries a hybrid method, whereby the crack-opening displacement is computed by ray theory, and the scattered field is subsequentl...

In this paper, a compact ultra-wideband patch antenna with dual-band rejection is proposed. The proposed antenna filters 3.3-3.8 GHz WiMAX and 5.15-5.85 GHz WLAN by respectively rejecting these bands through a C-shaped slit and a λg/4 resonator. The λg/4 resonator is positioned as a pair, centered around the microstrip line, and a C-type slit is inserted into an elliptical patch. The impedance ...

Plasmonic nanoantennas are efficient devices to concentrate light in spatial regions much smaller than the wavelength. Only recently, their ability to manipulate photons also on a femtosecond time scale has been harnessed. Nevertheless, designing the dynamical properties of optical antennas has been difficult since the relevant microscopic processes governing their ultrafast response have remai...

This paper presents the design of elliptical slot antenna for multiband applications. The suggested antenna covers L-band, WIMAX, WLAN and X band. By placing inverted T-shaped stub and three reverse U-shape stubs, the resonating characteristics of the antenna are observed. The resonating frequencies are 1.95, 4.14, 5.05, 5.89 and 9.15 GHz respectively. The designed antenna shows good return los...

—In computational studies of the body mass and surface area of vertebrates, it is customary to assume that body cross-sections are approximately elliptical. However, a review of actual vertebrate cross-sections establishes that this assumption is not usually met. A new cross-sectional model using superellipses is therefore introduced, together with a scheme that allows estimates to be given wit...

In this paper, a compact ultra wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with a band-notched characteristic is presented. The bandnotched characteristic is achieved by inserting a U-shaped slot in the half elliptical ring radiating patch. The measured bandwidth of the designed antenna for |S11| 6 −10 dB spans 3.1 GHz to 9.3 GHz with a notched band (|S11| > −10 dB) spanning 5.12GHz to 5.99 GHz. A quasi-om...
