A new multi-layer substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure is developed to design dual-band evanescent-mode band-pass filters (BPFs). Two independent series LC circuits are implemented by incorporating metallic irises in the different layers of the structure. The combination of the metallic irises with capacitive-plates is embedded inside the SIW to independently excite two evane...

a newly designed printed slot antenna is presented that incorporates variable two band-notched functions for ultra-wideband (uwb) applications. the two band notches of this coplanar waveguide (cpw) fed antenna are achieved by an m-shaped slot (mss) embedded in the radiating element and a c-shaped strip(css) close to ground plane, therefore two very narrow rejected properties in the wireless loc...

a fourth-degree substrate integrated waveguide (siw) crossed coupled band pass filter for wlan band is designed by using a new negative coupling structure. it consists of two u shape microstrip lines on top and bottom planes with via holes at the center of them. this paper investigates the phase characteristics of negative and positive coupling structures and their effects. the design, fabricat...

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...

1. INTRODUCTION With the enormous growth of computer-based terminals, the demands for indoor network which enable us to transmit and share digital information have been rapidly increased. As a method to form indoor office/home network, wireless LAN (WLAN) systems have taking a great attention, as they provides attractive features such as an ease of network constructions, a flexibility of networ...

Band-notch characteristic has been of great interest recently to overcome the electromagnetic interference of Ultra-wideband systems (UWB) with other existing ones. In this paper, we present a novel microstrip-fed antenna with band rejection property appropriate for UWB applications. Band-notch characteristic has been achieved by adding a rectangular resonant element to the ground section. A pr...

Abstract - This paper presents a new design of microwave microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) phase shifter for dual band wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. A bit is designed which product a constant phase shift of 11.25° by switching between two line that consist of 12 and 6 unitcells in each frequency band. A unitcell is constructed by gold membrane suspended over the coplanar ...

This paper presents a new approach for the design of a multiband uniplanar CPW-fed monopole antenna. The antenna consists of a fork like monopole strip to which is added an inverted U-shaped strip. The three branch fork like strip can create three resonant bands within the WLAN range while the placement of the inverted U-shaped strip provides a better impedance matching for the lowest resonant ...

This paper describes a design of 1×4 series fed Microstrip Patch Antenna Array for multi-resonance applications such as GPS devices, WCDMA (1910–2190 MHz) and WLAN. This antenna array consists of patch elements using a single layer RT/Duroid 5880 substrate with transformer coupled impedance matching network, which provides high gain of 9.583dB and efficiency 96.08%. This antenna array has good ...

A coupled-line-based planar antenna for single-band and dual-band operation is presented. The well-known uniplanar coupled inverted-L antenna (UCILA) has a simple and specific mechanism to achieve the dual-band ratio that was not described in the past. The UCILA which shunted a short stub in the slotline portion can provide switchable modes among single-low band (3.4% for WLAN 2.44GHz), single-...
