Abstract — In this paper, the measured radiation and bandwidth characteristics of two slightly different shortcircuited microstrip patch antennas are reported. The bandwidth of the studied antennas has been enhanced by dividing one wider patch into separate narrower patches which are tuned to different resonant frequencies. One of the patches is fed and the others are parasitically coupled. The...

Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) structures have been successfully applied for suppressing the Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN) between the power and ground planes. Aimed at the relative narrow bandwidth and the poor performance in low frequency of the conventional Uniplanar-Compact EBG (UC-EBG) structure, a novel EBG structure formed by adding spiral-shaped metal strips on the conventional UC-E...

Limited memory bandwidth is a critical bottleneck in modern systems. 3D-stacked DRAM enables higher bandwidth by leveraging wider Through-Silicon-Via (TSV) channels, but today’s systems cannot fully exploit them due to the limited internal bandwidth of DRAM. DRAM reads a whole row simultaneously from the cell array to a row buffer, but can transfer only a fraction of the data from the row buffe...

PURPOSE One factor that has been shown to greatly affect sound quality is audible bandwidth. Provision of gain for frequencies above 4-6 kHz has not generally been supported for groups of hearing aid wearers. The purpose of this study was to determine if preference for bandwidth extension in hearing aid processed sounds was related to the magnitude of hearing loss in individual listeners. MET...

W-band wireless transmission has attracted a lot of interest due to its wider available bandwidth (i.e. 75-110 GHz). In this article, we propose a direct-detection orthogonal frequency division multiplexing radio over fiber (OFDM-RoF) system via two cascaded single-drive MZMs at center frequency of 103 GHz. We discuss maximum bandwidth of different modulation formats under forward error correct...
