The concept of concurrent multiband low-noise-amplifiers (LNAs) is introduced. A systematic way to design concurrent multiband integrated LNAs in general is developed. Applications of concurrent multiband LNAs in concurrent multiband receivers together with receiver architecture are discussed. Experimental results of a dual-band LNA implemented in a 0.35m CMOS technology as a demonstration of t...

Multiband polarization imaging is an emerging sensing method that enables simultaneous acquisition of multiband spectral and multiangle polarization information of an object of interest in the scene. Spectral signatures of the light reflected from a target reveal the characteristics of the material composing the target while polarized light provides useful information on the surface features su...

The increasing demand for multifunctional devices, the use of cognitive wireless technology to solve the frequency resource shortage problem, as well as the capabilities and operational flexibility necessary to meet ever-changing environment result in an urgent need of multiband wireless communications. Spectral filter is an essential part of any communication systems, and in the case of multib...

Design of multiband antennas with low volume is of practical interest for the ever growing wireless communication industry. In this paper, the design of PIFA antenna with multiband resonance for WiMAX, WLAN, HIPERLAN/2 applications by using genetic algorithm (GA) is presented. Genetic algorithm (GA) method was used to design the shape of the patch and the shape of the ground plane simultaneousl...

A theory of the proximity effect in normal metal–multiband superconductor hybrid structures is formulated within the quasiclassical Green’s function formalism. The quasiclassical boundary conditions for multiband hybrid structures are derived in the dirty limit. It is shown that the existence of multiple superconducting bands manifests itself as the occurrence of additional peaks in the density...

This paper investigate some methods for converting single band antennas to multiband antennas so that all single band antennas convert in multiband antennas and gives multiband facility without increasing the cost of manufacturing. Simulation is performing on Ansoft HFSS and corresponding result are shown by figures. Impedance bandwidth, VSWR and Return loss are observed for the proposed antenn...

This paper presents the design & analysis of a planar multiband antenna (Iterated Pythagorean fractal tree antenna) with impedance steps in base path. Impedance steps are adopted with finite ground plane for better impedance matching, multiband & bandwidth characteristics as compare to non-iterated form. As tree iteration increases new resonance frequency will obtained, Iterated Pythagorean fra...

Many signal processing problems—such as analysis, compression, denoising, and reconstruction—can be facilitated by expressing the signal as a linear combination of atoms from a well-chosen dictionary. In this paper, we study possible dictionaries for representing the discrete vector one obtains when collecting a finite set of uniform samples from a multiband analog signal. By analyzing the spec...

This paper considers the satellite communication systems using the multiband UWB signal format. For terrestrial short-distance high-speed communications, the multiband UWB scheme have been proposed in IEEE 802.15 TG3a and discussion is ongoing at the standardization body. In the multiband UWB scheme, frequency hopping is adopted over 3.1 10.6 GHz, which is regulated by the FCC (Federal Communic...

Spectral enhancement is now being used in many hearing aids in an attempt to compensate for broadened cochlear filtering. However, spectral enhancement may be counteracted by multiband-compression algorithms designed to compensate for the reduced dynamic range of the impaired cochlea. An alternative scheme for spectral enhancement, contrast-enhancing frequency shaping (CEFS), has been proposed,...
