Transmission lines are used to transmit energy such as acoustic or electromagnetic waves or bulk of electrical energy from one place to another, and co-axial shielded cable of them. Other means of transportation are two-wires (twisted pair cable and un-twisted pair cable). All such transmission lines are prone to noise coupling from ambient environment, for example, noise from capacitive coupli...

The simplicity and low cost of capacitive interfaces makes them very attractive for wireless charging stations and galvanically isolated power supplies. Major benefits include low electromagnetic radiation and the amenability of combined power and data transfer over the same interface. We present a capacitive power transfer circuit using series resonance that enables efficient high frequency, m...

The intra-body communication is an emerging wireless communication technology. It gives rise to slight wound without any infection, makes relevant devices positioned more easily and plays an important role in realtime monitoring of human body. According to coupling modes of electrodes, the intra-body communication is classified into two types, the capacitive and the galvanic coupling intra-body...

This paper presents the results of a new monopole antenna that exhibits 2.75-10.7 GHz performance. The proposed antenna consists of a radiating patch with notches excited by capacitive coupling feed. Also, the antenna’s truncated ground-plane incorporates a central notch. This modification significantly improves the antenna’s impedance bandwidth by 118% over an ultra-wideband frequency range. T...

Quadrupole plasmon and (octupolar) Fano resonances are induced in lithographically fabricated theta-shaped ring-rod gold nanostructures. The optical response is characterized by measuring the light scattered by individual nanostructures. When the nanorod is brought within 3 nm of the ring wall, a weak quadrupolar resonance is observed due to capacitive coupling, and when a necklike conductive b...
