The electromagnetic band gap structures are widely used to suppress pronounced surface waves in antennas with thicker substrate and higher dielectric constant. This paper reviews various application of Electromagnetic band gap structure in microstrip antenna, a band gap characterization of an electromagnetic bandgap structure along with the explanation of various reported configurations of comp...

Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic.) infestations negatively impact row crop production throughout the United States and Canada’s eastern provinces. To implement management strategies to control velvetleaf, managers need tools for differentiating it from crop plants. 5 Band, 7 Band, 8 Band, and 16 Band multispectral datasets simulating LANDSAT 3 plus a blue band, LANDSAT 8, WorldView 2, and...

Dual band metamaterial perfect absorbers with two absorption bands are highly desirable because of their potential application areas such as detectors, transceiver system, and spectroscopic imagers. However, most of these dual band metamaterial absorbers proposed were based on resonances of metal patterns. Here, we numerically and experimentally demonstrate a dual band metamaterial perfect abso...

A wide-band frequency synthesizer with low phase noise is presented. The frequency tuning range is from 474 to 858 MHz which is compatible with U-band CMMB application while the S-band frequency is also included. Three VCOs with selectable sub-band are integrated on chip to cover the target frequency range. This PLL is fabricated with 0.35 m SiGe BiCMOS technology. The measured result shows tha...

In the present paper, the band gap characteristics of oxygen functionalized-monolayer scandium carbide (monolayer Sc2CO2) under a perpendicular external electric field (E-field) were studied using DFT calculations for the potential application of MXene in optoelectronic and optical nanodevices. In contrast to general pristine single-layer materials under an external E-field, monolayer Sc2CO2 un...

This article presents the design of a novel dual-band signal cancellation circuit and its application to feedforward linear power amplifier. Intermodulation distortion cancellation loop shows 20.45 dB and 25.04 dB suppression for digital cellular band and IMT-2000 band, respectively, over a correction bandwidth of 100 MHz. From the adjacent channel leakage ratio measurement, 16.5 dB and 18.6 dB...

Based on a band engineering method, we propose a theoretical prescription to create a full-k-space flat band in dielectric photonic crystals covering the whole Brillouin Zone. With wave functions distributed in air instead of in the dielectrics, such a flat band represents a unique mechanism for achieving flat dispersions beyond the tight-binding picture, which can enormously reduce the require...

In this paper we have designed and simulated a Band Pass Filter (BPF) at X-band frequency. This filter is designed for X-band weather radar application with 9500 MHz center frequency and bandwidth -3 dB is 120 MHz. The filter design was performed using a hairpin microstrip combined with an open stub and defected ground structure (DGS). The substrate used is Rogers RT5880 with a dielectric const...

It has been predicted that application of a strong electric field perpendicular to the plane of bilayer graphene can induce a significant band gap. We have measured the optical conductivity of bilayer graphene with an efficient electrolyte top gate for a photon energy range of 0.2-0.7 eV. We see the emergence of new transitions as a band gap opens. A band gap approaching 200 meV is observed whe...
