this paper investigates the multi-band ofdm (mb-ofdm) based physical (phy) layer proposal for ieee 802.15.3a working group on short-range high data-rate ultra-wide-band (uwb) communications. an overview of the mb-ofdm phy layer architecture with its various parameters is presented and the optimal choice of critical parameters is discussed. next, we derive the theoretical un-coded bit error rate...

this paper presents an e-ring shaped printed monopole antenna for uwb applications with dual notched bands performance. in order to generate single frequency band notch function, we applied a u-ring shaped monopole antenna, and by inserting a rectangular ring in the centre of it an e-ring shaped radiating patch created and a dual band-notch function can be achieved. the measured bandwidth of th...

An outstanding square slot element, for x-band wireless applications with asymmetric coplanar waveguide fed (CPW) is proposed. Various shapes of metallic strips are utilized as grounded stubs for providing Right Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP) functionality and wide-band properties. By adjusting the proposed stubs and hook-shaped radiator, length and positions, wider impedance band width is o...

A new wideband Wilkinson Power Divider which use the nonuniform substrate integrated waveguide (NSIW) method is presented in this paper. This structure utilizes NSIWs instead of the uniform quarter wavelength SIWs in conventional Wilkinson power divider. The proposed structure is analyzed by odd and even mode analysis. The proper NSIW section widths can be extracted by using even mode while the...

A novel technique for a self-equalized distributed amplifier is presented by showing the analogy between transversal filters and distributed amplifier topologies. The appropriate delay and gain coefficients of amplifier circuit are obtained by a Fourier expansion of the raised cosine spectrum in the frequency range of 0-40GHz.

An ultra-wide band band-pass filter using novel spiral stub-loaded triple-mode resonator (SSLTMR) is presented. New spiral stub loaded resonator is analyzed with odd and even modes analysis for this class of BPF, achieving higher band wide and size reduction. In order to have a good response characterized, two (SSL-TMRs) and two quarter wavelength digital coupled lines are used. This new design...
