This paper presents a new approach for the design of a multiband uniplanar CPW-fed monopole antenna. The antenna consists of a fork like monopole strip to which is added an inverted U-shaped strip. The three branch fork like strip can create three resonant bands within the WLAN range while the placement of the inverted U-shaped strip provides a better impedance matching for the lowest resonant ...

Photonic crystals (PCs) which are arrays of dielectric materials with a one, two, or three dimensional periodicity have attracted considerable attention during the past decade. PCs have been considered to be one of the most promising materials for manipulating light in three dimensional spaces for all optical signal processing and optical integration technology. Through numerous theoretical stu...

Surface impedance is an important concept in classical wave systems such as photonic crystals (PCs). For example, the condition of an interface state formation in the interfacial region of two different one-dimensional PCs is simplyZSL þ ZSR 1⁄4 0, where ZSLðZSRÞis the surface impedance of the semiinfinite PC on the left-hand (right-hand) side of the interface. Here, we also show a rigorous rel...

Hyperspectral reflectance of normal and lodged rice caused by rice brown planthopper and rice panicle blast was measured at the canopy level. Over one decade broadand narrow-band vegetation indices (VIs) were calculated to simulate Landsat ETM+ with in situ hyperspectral reflectance. Principal component analysis (PCA) was utilized to obtain the front two principal components (PCs). Probabilisti...

Incorporating active media into three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystals (PCs) is a useful step towards exploring the functionalities of PCs. Here we report, for the first time, on the fabrication of 3D woodpile PCs with a commercial PbSe quantum dot (QD) composite material by using the two-photon polymerization technique. The fabricated crystals possess photonic band gaps in the near-infrared ...

We present a photonic crystal slab (PCS) photodetector, designed for resonant absorption of infrared light in quantum wells. With the PCS it is possible to enhance the absorption efficiency by increasing photon lifetime in the detector active region. To design the optical properties of the device we simulate the PCS photonic band structure with the two-dimensional (2D) revised plane wave expans...

A tunable dual-band inverted F antenna (IFA) is presented in this paper. By placing a LC resonator on the radiating arm, dual-band characteristic is achieved. Especially, the capacitor in the resonator is a tunable thin-film BST capacitor, which has a 3.3:1 tuning ratio. The capacitance of the BST capacitors can be tuned by an external DC bias voltage. By varying the capacitance, both the lower...
