Based on the C-shaped microstrip slot antenna, a new photonic band gap substrate for multifrequency microstrip slot antenna is designed. The antenna has a groove been dug below the radiation plate, within which the radiation plate is placed, and air triangular prism column gaps with different height are placed in the substrate periodically. Numerical simulation is performed for the antenna with...

Consider the MLEs (maximum likelihood estimators) of the parameters of the Gumbel distribution using SRS (simple random sample) and RSS (ranked set sample) and the MOMEs (method of moment estimators) and REGs (regression estimators) based on SRS. A comparison between these estimators using bias and MSE (mean square error) was performed using simulation. It appears that the MLE based on RSS can ...

Two microstrip fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas with different band rejection techniques are presented in this paper. The designed antennas consist of a defected ground plane with an elliptical slot and two different radiator shapes. The first design is composed of a half circular ring radiator element while the second one uses a crescent shaped radiator. The radiators are fed by a 50 Ω micros...

Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS) are increasingly being used in telecommunications systems due to the numerous advantages presented by this sort of structure, among them low cost, ease fabrication, and profile stand out. This work reports design, characterization a multilayer frequency-selective absorber (FSA) for broadband operation. The proposed structure shows an absorption performance (op...

An ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a novel multilayer frequency selective surface (FSS) reflector is presented. A significant enhancement in the gain has been achieved in a low profile design while maintaining the excellent impedance bandwidth of the UWB antenna. The average peak gain of the antenna has been increased from 4 dBi to 9.3 dBi as a consequence of the use of the FSS reflector. Mor...
