This paper presents the design of compact CPW-fed band notched UWB square ring antenna. The main objective of this proposed research work is to reduce the size of antenna and avoid interference between UWB and WLAN application at 5.5GHz. The antenna consists of a square-ring metal patch and 50Ω coplanar waveguide fed. The structure of the antenna is miniaturized by optimizing its square ring pr...

In this paper, we present the throughput and delay performance of a busy tone based media access protocol in wireless networks with buffers at each node for queueing up messages. Partially connected static topologies with finite number of nodes that are globally synchronised to the slot duration are considered. Each node has unlimited buffer resources for transit messages and limited buffer cap...

This article describes a coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed inverted L- strip slot antenna implementation along with characteristic mode analysis (CMA) to obtain circular polarization (CP) broad bandwidth. The design includes microstrip annular ring patch and an L-strip asymmetric square slot. resonant radiating behavior of the are analyzed using CMA for first six modes (CMs) attain CP. microstrip-f...

A compact single-feed dual-band circularly polarized (CP) microstrip antenna is evaluated numerically and experimentally. The dual-band performances with small frequency ratio (about 1 : 1.1) are achieved by a circular patch and a narrow annular-ring, which have small difference in radius. The CP characteristics are achieved by an unequal cross-slot embedded in the circular patch and two orthog...

This article presents the analysis and investigation of the effect of loading a horn antenna with a double square loop frequency selective surface (FSS) of finite size. It is fabricated on Rogers RT5870 (lossy) of relative permittivity 2.33, thickness 1.575mm and loss tangent 0.0012. This structure is called a filtering antenna (filtenna). Basically it is applied for filtering and minimizing th...

A wideband, metal-only, and low-cost transmission-type polariser is proposed in which a plane wave with linear polarization impinging on the structure converted to circular other side vice versa. The quad-layer frequency selective surface that its unit cell composed of two sets multi-slot elements placed perpendicular each achieve wideband polariser. In this cell, by changing length slots, ampl...

This investigation indicates the ability to selectively graft glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) only from the external surface of regenerated cellulose (RC) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes using activator generated electron transfer (AGET) atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). This controlled polymerization resulted in epoxy functionalized polymer brush ends. Further reaction of the terminal ep...

A compact microstrip-fed antenna with dual notched bands is proposed. First, a simple basic configuration is presented for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications and then the dual band notched structure is extended from the UWB one. The basic structure of the UWB antenna consists of a simple square radiating patch and a ground plane with a wide square slot on back of the substrate. A semi-circle sh...
