A slotted-ground-plane meandered-slot resonator with multi-resonance characteristics and a compact lowpass filter (LPF) by using the resonator are demonstrated in this paper. The meandered slot provides a wideband resonator with low insertion loss and very sharp cutoff frequency response. Unlike conventional design of cascading bandstop slotted-ground-plane resonators in the literature, the int...

A 1, insensitive solvent suppression techniquband selective inversion with gradient dephasing (BASING)-was developed to suppress water and lipids for 'H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). BASING, which consists of a frequency selective RF inversion pulse surrounded by spoiler gradient pulses of opposite signs, was used to dephase stopband resonances and minimally impact passband metabolites...

The objective of the present investigation is to demonstrate the possibility of designing compact ultra-narrow band-pass filters based on the phenomenon of non-proximity resonant tunneling in multi-core photonic band gap fibers (PBGFs). The proposed PBGF consists of three identical air-cores separated by two defected air-holes which act as highly-selective resonators. With a fine adjustment of ...

Digital filters with linear phase responses, that is, constant group delay responses are needed in many applications for signal and image processing. In this paper, a novel method is proposed for designing maximally flat IIR filters with flat group delay responses in the passband. First, a system of linear equations are derived from the flatness conditions of IIR filters given in the passband a...

A novel computationally highly e cient realization of sharp symmetrical bandstop FIR lter is proposed. The new structure is derived using the frequency-response-masking technique, where the bandedge-shaping lter is derived from half-band lter by substituting each delay of the half-band lter by M delays. The masking lters are unconventional. They are quadrature lters derived from linear combinat...
