Ultra high frequency (UHF) partial discharge (PD) detection approaches take advantages of strong anti-interference ability, and have been considered as a promising technology for online monitoring PD signals. This paper presents a meander antenna with wide frequency band and small size for UHF PD detection in power transformers. The optimal geometric parameters of the meander antenna were obtai...

We address the meander problem “enumerate all topologically inequivalent configurations of a closed nonselfintersecting plane curve intersecting a given line through a fixed number of points”. We show that meanders may be viewed as the configurations of a suitable fully-packed loop statistical model defined on a random surface. Using standard results relating critical singularities of a lattice...

In this paper, a compact high-pass filter (HPF) with a sharp rejection response based on the balanced composite right-left handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) concept is proposed. A series LC resonator using an interdigital capacitor and meander lines is designed. Also, a meander spiral complementary split ring resonator (MSCSRR) is used to realize the parallel LC resonator. The high-pass filt...

A significant space reduction of a Planar Log-Periodic Dipole Array (LPDA) is achieved in this work. This reduction was performed by utilizing the first order iteration meander shape dipole in the design of a planar LPDA. The minimization procedure is illustrated in this work by presenting two designs for a Euclidean LPDA with linear dipoles and a meander LPDA operating over the entire S freque...

The embedded meander line in stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) is proposed to design narrow bandpass filter with a good stopband characteristics. The design differs from the general SIR configuration in that the microstrip lines are bent at the location of the maximum magnetic field density. As a result, the resonators have high external quality factors by themselves, since the factor is closel...

[1] Meandering streams on the surface of glaciers are similar in planform geometry to meanders in alluvial and bedrock rivers, despite fundamental differences in the mechanisms and timescales of incision. We develop depth-averaged conservation equations for flow in such supraglacial channels with erodible boundaries and solve the linear stability problem for harmonic perturbations to an initial...
