To address the impact of differences in language lateralization on joke comprehension, event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded as 16 left- and 16 right-handed adults read one-line jokes and non-funny control stimuli ("A replacement player hit a home run with my girl/ball,"). In right-handers, jokes elicited a late positivity 500-900 ms post-stimulus onset that was largest over right...

I n this paper, two novel ultra wideband (UWB) minimized antennas based on the composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) structures are designed.

In this study, we propose a composite right/left-handed (CRLH) cuboid antenna operating in the very-high-frequency band. The proposed uses CRLH transmission-line structure for miniaturization, and left-handed component is implemented using interdigital capacitors meander lines. A three-dimensional was designed to increase parallel inductance by applying line side of structure. operates at 252.5...

This paper presents a closed-form analysis of composite right/left handed transmission lines. The ladder network structure of the transmission line allows to obtain a rational form of any twoport network representation. As a consequence of the rational form of the transfer functions, poles and residues are easily computed and the dominant ones selected leading to an efficient time-domain macrom...

A left-handed transmission line with regularly spaced Schottky varactors is experimentally characterized. Due to dispersion, an envelop pulse on the line experiences a great distortion. By measuring the test line, we successfully observed that this distortion is compensated for by the nonlinear effects of Schottky varactors. This article describes the experimental observations, together with fu...
