In this paper some novel types of microwave bandpass filters using defected ground structures are investigated. In the microstrip technology the use of defected ground structures (DGS) allows designs of filters with tight couplings, without the necessity of using very narrow coupling gaps. In multilayer filters DGS can be used as coupling elements between resonators, allowing very compact filte...

Abstract—A novel miniaturized dual-band bandstop filter (DBBSF) is proposed by using the T-shaped defected microstrip structures (DMSs) and the U-shaped defected ground structures (DGSs) in this paper. The layout of the dual-band bandstop resonator (DBBSR) is presented at first. The dual stopbands of the DBBSR can be separately controlled since the mutual coupling of the defected structures is ...

Grapheme–color synesthetes perceive particular colors when seeing a letter, word or number (grapheme). Functional neuroimaging studies have provided some evidence in favor of a neural basis for this type of synesthesia. Most of these studies have reported extra activations in the fusiform gyrus, which is known to be involved in color, letter and word processing. The present study examined diffe...

Synesthesia is a condition in which normal stimuli can trigger anomalous associations. In this study, we exploit synesthesia to understand how the synesthetic experience can be explained by subtle changes in network properties. Of the many forms of synesthesia, we focus on colored sequence synesthesia, a form in which colors are associated with overlearned sequences, such as numbers and letters...

nowadays, close competition and high cost of production cause the loss reduction and waste recovery to be one of the most concern of industrial and production companies and factories. for this, managers are looking for new methods to reduce the defect in the product line of the factories. image processing and machine monitoring systems are technologies used in different fields of military, phys...

An unequal Wilkinson power divider with adjustable power dividing ratio is proposed. The proposed power divider consists of rectangular defected ground structure (DGS), isolated island in DGS, and varactor diodes. The impedance of the microstrip line greatly increases due to the DGS, and varies because of the varying capacitance of diodes. The measured unequal dividing ratios vary from 1.97–13....

Grapheme-color synesthesia is a unique neurological condition in which affected individuals report experiencing strong and consistent associations between specific colors and graphemes (letters or numbers). The current study used electroencephalography (EEG) neuroimaging techniques to address two primary research questions: 1. Does the brain activity of grapheme-color synesthetes reflect the ne...

This paper describes a grapheme-to-phoneme conversion method using phoneme con-nectivity and CCV conversion rules with probabilistic phrase break detection. The method consists of mainly four modules including phrase-break detection, morpheme normalization, morpheme to phoneme conversion and phoneme connectivity check. In the experiments with a test corpus of 210 sentences, we achieved 85% of p...

The performance of a high pass filter (HPF) and a band pass filter (BPF) with and without defected ground structure (DGS) was analyzed in this specific work. The Defected ground structure includes rectangular and circular etched shapes in ground plane. Calculation and comparison of the response of both filters was done separately. Parameters of the proposed configuration were calculated at the ...
