A new type of directional dual-band antenna is developed for 2.4/5 GHz wireless applications. The dual-band antenna consists of a longer dipole for the lower band and a pair of shorter dipoles for the upper band. A simple coupling microstrip line is employed to excite the dipoles. Both the dual-band antenna and the feeding microstrip line are printed on the same substrate, leading to a fully pl...

A novel perturbation approach using additional metalized via-holes for implementation of the dual-band or wide-band dual-mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filters is proposed in this paper. The independent perturbation on the first resonant mode TE101 can be constructed by applying the proposed perturbation approach, whereas the second resonant mode TE102 is not affected. Thus, new kind...

A compact dual-band antenna made of high dielectric constant substrate is studied. Embedding a higher dielectric cylindrical inside the substrate host cylindrical enhances the dual-band behaviour. The first part displays the characteristics of single CRDA as return loss, bandwidth and radiation pattern, then, the second part describes the aim of using an antenna, composed by the arrangement of ...

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of using differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) for subsidence monitoring over the underground mining sites in New South Wales, Australia. The SAR data acquired in dual-frequency, Cand L-band, of microwave portion of electromagnetic spectrum by ERS-1/2, Radarsat-1 and JERS-1 satellites have been examined. The issues of decorrelatio...

In this paper, a new method for designing an active dual-band dipole antenna is proposed. The operating frequencies of the proposed antenna are 150 and 450 MHz that are usually used in military applications. Using a series stub is the main idea in the proposed dual-band antenna, where it makes an independent resonance frequency higher than the main resonance frequency of a conventional dipole. ...

This paper presents two novel dual-mode dual-band bandpass filters (BPFs) by using stubs loaded coupled line. The analytical equations of their transmission poles and transmission zeros are given by the classical even-/odd-mode method. Design rules for two dual-band BPFs are also given, which show the easily tuned passband frequency locations and in-band performance. As examples, two dualmode d...
