The U-slot micro-strip patch antennas were originally developed for bandwidth broadening applications. This study presents a transmission line feed to modify the U-slot stacked rectangular micro-strip patch antenna for Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) communications. The modified antenna has a U-cut loaded with parallel slits and corner slots and is printed on a dielectric substrate of FR4 with relative p...

This paper describes the generation of directive beams at two different frequencies with same circular metasurface (MTS) antenna based on a surface wave (SW) excitation. Two methods are presented to achieve desired bi-chromatic beam operation. The first one consists in mathematically superimposing MTS modulations, each matched SW wavelength frequency. In second method, period modulation matches...

The last decade has seen a large increase in the number of electronic-structure calculations that involve adding a Hubbard term to the local-density approximation band-structure Hamiltonian. The Hubbard term is then determined either at the mean-field level or with sophisticated many-body techniques such as using dynamical mean-field theory. We review the physics underlying these approaches and...

Commercial markets desire integrated multifrequency band-select duplexer and diplexer filters with a wide fractional bandwidth and steep roll-off to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for spectrum. In this paper, we discuss the fabrication and design of lithium niobate (LN) thin-film S0 Lamb-wave resonators on a piezoelectric-on-piezoelectric platform. Filters using these resonators have the po...

In this paper, we propose the design of multilayer frequency selective surfaces (FSS) waveguide band-pass filters (WBPF). The WBPFs are designed to operate at two different frequency channels, respectively 71–76GHz (Rx) and 81–86 GHz (Tx). The cross section surface of the FSS is imposed by the WR12 waveguide rectangular section’s dimensions. The WBPFs are inserted symmetrically in a T-junction ...

A novel compact-sized ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) is proposed in this paper. The proposed BPF is highly selective and is able to eliminate WLAN signals from 5.15-5.35 GHz, and downlink of X-band satellite communication signals from 7.25-7.75 GHz. Generally, a multiple-mode resonator (MMR), comprised of a U-shaped line, with two high impedance stubs connected to it, and one steppe...

– In this paper the operation behavior of three-way Doherty amplifier is analyzed, including the efficiency and linearity. Amplifier is designed in the configuration with two quarter-wave impedance transformers in the output combining circuit with LDMOSFETs in carrier and peaking amplifies. The signals for linearization (the fundamental signals’ second harmonics-IM2 and fourth-order nonlinear s...

Trypanosome RNA editing is the posttranscriptional insertion and deletion of uridylate (U) residues, often to a massive extent, through cycles of cleavage, U addition or U removal, and ligation. These editing cycles are catalyzed by a complex that we purified to seven major proteins (bands I through VII). Here we analyze the role of band II using extracts of clonal band II RNA interference (RNA...
