The compact rectangular microstrip antenna is realized by placing the shorting post or plate along the zero field line at the fundamental mode of the patch. The dual band antenna is realized by placing the stub on the edges of the patch. In this paper, first a compact shorted rectangular microstrip antenna is discussed. Further a dual band antenna realized by placing the stub on the opposite ed...

Spacecraft standardization has been a topic of great debate within the space community. This paper intends to be a provocative thought piece asking one fundamental question: “is there a ‘right size’ for small satellites?” In order to answer this question, we propose three top-down design factors for the space systems engineering process: spacecraft utility, mission utility, and optimum cost. Sp...

An ultra-wide band band-pass filter using novel spiral stub-loaded triple-mode resonator (SSLTMR) is presented. New spiral stub loaded resonator is analyzed with odd and even modes analysis for this class of BPF, achieving higher band wide and size reduction. In order to have a good response characterized, two (SSL-TMRs) and two quarter wavelength digital coupled lines are used. This new design...

As an alternative to Büttiker’s dephasing lead model, we examine a dephasing stub. Both models are phenomenological ways to introduce decoherence in chaotic scattering by a quantum dot. The difference is that the dephasing lead opens up the quantum dot by connecting it to an electron reservoir, while the dephasing stub is closed at one end. Voltage fluctuations in the stub take over the dephasi...

This paper proposes the design and analysis of co-axial continuous transverse stub multiband antenna (CCTS) for multiple high frequency Applications. Coaxial continuous transverse stub antenna is used to operate on multiple frequency bands with small size and low cost. This proposed antenna consists of two stubs, arranged longitudinally to form a waveguide skeleton like structure. The advantage...

The dual band microstrip antenna is realized by placing the open circuit stub or by cutting the slot inside the patch. The compact microstrip antenna is realized by placing the shorting post or plate along the zero field line at the fundamental mode of the patch. In this paper, a compact variation of equilateral triangular microstrip antenna, a shorted 600 sectoral microstrip antenna is discuss...

A novel compact wide bandpass filter is proposed by cascading two square-ring resonators, a quarter wave length short-stub and a quarter wavelength open-stub. This filter offers wide passband, with high out-of-band rejection and suppression of second spurious harmonic. Design procedure of a filter at 1GHz with 50% fractional bandwidth is presented showing good agreement between simulation and e...

We present a minimalistic metapattern which we call the Stub pattern. It acts as a type of placeholder for future extensions of an ontology in cases where a more fine-grained modeling would currently be counterproductive, but future extensions may call for more details. We motivate the Stub pattern, define it, and provide examples.

We review some of the recent research activities on plasmonic devices based on metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) stub resonators for manipulating light at the nanoscale. We first introduce slow-light subwavelength plasmonic waveguides based on plasmonic analogues of periodically loaded transmission lines and electromagnetically induced transparency. In both cases, the structures consist of a MDM wav...
