A compact CPW-fed fractal circle monopole antenna with dual wideband is presented for simultaneously satisfying wireless local area network (WLAN) for 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz application. The antenna consists of irregular shape circles based on the Descartes circle theorem. The simulated -10 dB bandwidth for return loss is from 2.04 to 3.35 GHz and 4.96 to 5.9 GHz, covering all the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN...

We present results from VLBA+Effelsberg 1.7 GHz, VLBA 8.4 GHz and VLBA 15 GHz observations of the JVAS gravitational lens system B1030+074. The VLBA+Effelsberg 1.7 GHz data with 3 mas resolution reveal a detailed 60 mas jet structure in the strong A component of the lens system and maybe a first hint of the corresponding jet structure in the faint component B. As we go to the higher resolution ...

Wideband low profile double Inverted-F antenna (DIFA) for 5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN and 5.5 GHz WiMAX applications by means of numerical simulation is presented. The antenna has compact size of 9×20 mm and provides a wide bandwidth of 2.1 GHz (4675 MHz~6775 MHz) which covers the 5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN and 5.5 GHz WiMAX applications. Moreover it has very high peak gain and lower gain variation within the 10 dB...

An ultra-compact dual-band printed antenna is proposed. Connective and concentric double split rings (CCDSR) are used to generate two resonant frequencies in wireless local area network (WLAN) frequency bands. Tuning arms are added to the microstrip fed line, which can be used to tune the upper frequency band. The dimension of this antenna is only 9 × 24 × 1 mm3, much smaller than those reporte...

A simple and compact high gain Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) for Ku band frequency operation is proposed in this paper. Ku band is a microwave band having frequency range 12 to 18 GHz. Proposed DRA is based on the principal of the dual resonance and defected ground structure (DGS) having rectangular slot. DRA design resonates at frequency 15.2 GHz and 18 GHz in Ku band frequency operation....

We present an analysis of the diffuse emission at 5 GHz in the first quadrant of the Galactic plane using two months of preliminary intensity data taken with the C-Band All Sky Survey (C-BASS) northern instrument at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory, California. Combining C-BASS maps with ancillary data to make temperature-temperature plots we find synchrotron spectral indices of β = −2.65±0.0...

Dual-polarized airborne passive microwave (PM) brightness temperatures (Tb) at 6.9 GHz H/V, 19 GHz H/V and 37 GHz H/V and spaceborne active microwave (AM) X-band (9.65 GHz VV, VH) backscatter (σ0) are observed coincident to in situ snow and lake-ice measurements collected over two lakes near Inuvik, Canada. Lake-ice thickness is found to be positively correlated with 19 GHz V emission (R = 0.67...

Accurate measurement of angular positions on the sky requires a well-defined system reference, something that in practice is realized by International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) with observations distant (typical redshift $\sim$ 1...

This paper introduced a new low cost, compact and robust microstrip antenna based on metamaterial split ring resonator property to replace the existed antenna by small size and multiband Frequency antenna. The proposed antenna is designed with multi rectangular patches and simulated for different frequency. By using the metamaterial property, the bandwidth of the antenna has been improved. The ...
