This paper presents the design, simulation, fabrication and measurement of a wideband bandpass filter with wide stopband performance operating at 3.5GHz. The proposed filter consists of two parallel coupled lines (T-PCL) centred by T-inverted shape. The location of transmission zeros can be adjusted by varying the physical lengths of T-inverted shape to improve the filter selectivity. The wide ...

This paper studies the motion of a particle whose tune is inside and near a linear half-integer stopband. Results are found for the tune and beta functions in the stable region close to an edge of the stopband. It is shown that the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions of the transfer matrix are real inside the stopband. All the results found are also valid for small accelerators where the large a...

Abstract: The large group delay of the high order FIR filters is unacceptable in some applications. Therefore, recently, how to reduce the group delay of FIR filters has been studied intensively. To reduce the ringing in the time domain and to maximize the stopband attenuation, it is useful to design FIR filters with maximally flat characteristics in the passband and transmission zeros in the s...

we propose and demonstrate a bandpass microwave photonic filter (MPF) with ultrahigh stopband attenuation and skirt selectivity based on a simple signal cancellation technique. By injecting two phase modulated signals located on opposite sides of two resonant gain peaks of a Fabry-Pérot semiconductor optical amplifier (FP-SOA), two microwave frequency responses can be generated by the two input...

In this paper, an ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber is designed and simulated. The proposed absorber is planar and low profile. It is made of a copper sheet coated with two dielectric layers. Each unit cell of the metamaterial structure is composed of multiple metallic split rings, which are patterned on the top and middle boundaries of the dielectrics. The designed absorber utilizes differe...

In this paper, a single-layer bandstop Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) is proposed for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) Applications. The unit cell of the proposed FSS consists of a modification in a square patch element by the insertion of triangular shaped slots. The designs demonstrate a wide 3.8 GHz stopband in the WLAN frequency range. Moreover, it shows angular stability at various a...
