This paper presents an EM analysis of dispersions & discontinuities in a microstrip transmission lines. Dispersion characteristics of a microstrip lines are investigated by the existing models for study of microstrip lines and then compare the results with Software Simulation. Dispersions on microstrip lines with characteristics impedance 50Ω are investigated for the frequency range 1 to 18 GHz...

This paper examines, from a dynamically-oriented approach, speaking strategies used by two professional speakers in reciting a sonnet. Spectrographic and perceptual analysis of prosodic and segmental elements are carried out. Uses of speaking strategies and their effects are contrasted to discuss relations between sound and sense.

A method to improve the directivity of the microstrip coupler is presented. The width of the coupler is modified for phase velocity compensation which results in high directivity. Using this procedure, a 15 dB coupler is designed and simulated at 0.9 GHz using SONNET software. A high directivity of 46 dB is obtained. The validity of the design concept is verified and compared with conventional ...
