In this study an ultra-broad band, low-power, and high-gain CMOS Distributed Amplifier (CMOS-DA) utilizing a new gain-cell based on the inductively peaking cascaded structure is presented. It is created bycascading of inductively coupled common-source (CS) stage and Regulated Cascode Configuration (RGC).The proposed three-stage DA is simulated in 0.13 μm CMOS process. It achieves flat and high ...

Context. The combination of compact objects, short period variability and peculiar chemical composition of the Ultra Compact X-ray Binaries make up a very interesting laboratory to study accretion processes and thermonuclear burning on the neutron star surface. The improved large optical telescopes and more sensitive X-ray satellites have increased the number of known Ultra Compact X-ray Binari...

A compact Ultra wideband (UWB) antenna with bandnotched characteristic is presented in this paper. It has compact size of 30 mm x 31mm and has ultra wide band operation. A ‘C’ shaped slot was introduced to achieve band notch function from 4.8 GHz to 6 GHz to avoid interference from WLAN. The proposed antenna has ultra wide band frequency range from 3 GHz to 11.5 GHz for return loss below -10 dB...

A compact dual band-notched Ultra-Wideband antenna with sharp band-notched characteristics and controllable notched bandwidths is presented. The antenna consists of a spade-shaped microstrip-fed Ultra-Wideband planar monopole antenna and two sets of band-notched structures. The band-notched structures are employed to generate the desired lower and upper rejection bands with good frequency selec...

A novel modified printed monopole antenna with variable frequency band-notch characteristic for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a truncated ground plane and a radiating patch with two tapered steps. To generate a notch band at 5–6GHz with good level of band-notch a new T-shaped parasitic element placed on the back layer of the substrate along wit...

A measurement campaign has been carried out in 400kV air insulated electricity substation to characterise and model radio frequency impulsive noise with a view to assessing its impact on wireless network technologies. The relatively recent availability of new technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth and Zigbee means that particular emphasis has been put on higher frequency bands (e.g. 2.4, 5 GHz) t...

In this paper, a new miniaturized ultra-wideband bandpass filter is simulated. The structure of the new ultra-wideband bandpass filter is constructed using stepped-impedance resonator. The input admittance of the proposed filter is calculated and compared with the conventional structure. The frequency response of the filter is simulated by an EM simulator tool. The parameters of the proposed fi...
