─ In this study, we present an UltraWideband (UWB) monopole antenna with bandnotched function. The proposed antenna is fed by a microstrip line. By using two modified forkshaped slots in the ground plane, bandwidth is increased that provides a wide usable fractional bandwidth of more than 135% (2.82-15.63). In order to achieve band-rejected performance, a cross-ring slot was inserted at the squ...

A printed monopole ultra wideband (UWB) antenna with frequency band-notched characteristics is proposed and investigated. The antenna consists of a half-disk shaped structure combined with an inverted isosceles trapezoid structure. To achieve the frequency band notched characteristics, an open-ended thin slit with a length of about one quarter guided wavelength is inserted on the radiator. Mult...

Polyamide polymers have moderate mechanical properties, excellent wear resistant properties, and solvents. However, polyamides have some disadvantages such as notch sensitivity and high water absorption. Generally, polyamides are ductile in the un notched state but they show brittle behavior in the state of notched impact. Some disadvantages of polyamides can be improved by some fillers and add...

Blends of nylon-6 with polybutadiene were prepared with comparable morphology and different molecular weights of the matrix. These specimens were tested using the notched Izod impact test and the notched tensile impact test. An increase in molecular weight resulted in a shift of the brittle-to-tough transition temperature of 40°C to lower temperatures. In the notched tensile impact tests, espec...

In this research, residual strength and stress concentration factor of laminated composites with a circular open hole are studied analytically, numerically and experimentally. The numerical study was carried out using the finite element method. Moreover an analytical study was carried out with developing of point stress criterion. Mechanical testing was performed to determine the un-notched ten...

A small tapered slot antenna with a notched band for wireless applications is proposed in this paper. A modified transition from microstrip to slotline is used to introduce a notched band from 4.90 to 6.34GHz. Corrugated edges on the ground is also used to improve the radiation patterns at the lower frequency band. Relatively stable radiation patterns and consistent group delay except the notch...

A novel tapered slot antenna (TSA) with 3.5/5.5 GHz dual band-notched characteristics for ultra-wideband (UWB) radios is proposed in this paper. To realize dual band-notched characteristics at the TSA, we employ (a) a pair of nested C-shaped stubs beside the feed line and (b) a broadband microstrip-to-slot-line transition with an Archimedean spiral-shaped slot. The proposed antenna has been suc...

Stein (1990) discovered (n l)! lattice tilings of R” by translates of the notched n-cube which are inequivalent under translation. We show that there are no other inequivalent tilings of IF!” by translates of the notched cube.
