In this paper a high performance Ultra Wide Band microstrip bandpass filter is presented. The filter is designed using λ/4 short circuited stubs to improve the performance of UWB. The designed filter is based on 5th order chebyshev low pass prototype with .1 dB passband ripples. The filter with total size of 45×11 mm operates within 3.1310.4 GHz, produces a fractional bandwidth of 106%. The fil...

Sensorineural hearing loss has frequently been shown to result in a loss of frequency selectivity. Less is known about its effects on the level dependence of selectivity that is so prominent a feature of normal hearing. The aim of the present study is to characterize such changes in nonlinearity as manifested in the auditory filter shapes of listeners with mild/moderate hearing impairment. Notc...

This paper presents an experimental verification of ultra-wideband bandpass filter (BPF) for UWB applications and notch filter in order to suppress 5 GHz narrowband service when it coexists with UWB radio system. The BPF consists of a hexagonal shaped multiple mode resonator (MMR) with interdigital coupling at both sides. Notch filter is derived from BPF by introducing four embedded open stubs ...

drilling fluid is the most important lifeline of the drilling operation, that main task is facilitate the cuttings removal of the drilling. there are varieties of drilling fluids such as sodium bentonite based-drilling fluid is called “mud” and drilling foam or surfactant based-drilling fluid is called “soap”. the present work aims are study on the modified drilling mud properties by using the ...

cmc polymer is used as an additive to decrease water loss and mud-cake-thickness in mud drilling. in this study, the effect of cmc and cmc nanoparticles on water loss and mud-cake-thickness in mud drilling is investigated. cmc nanoparticles are made by using of ball milling and their size is measured by particle size analyzer. cmc and cmc nanoparticles which were prepared by hamilton batch mixe...

a cochlear implant is an implanted electronic device used to provide a sensation of hearing to a person who is hard of hearing. the cochlear implant is often referred to as a bionic ear. this paper presents an undecimated wavelet‑based speech coding strategy for cochlear implants, which gives a novel speech processor. the undecimated wavelet packet transform (uwpt) is computed like the wavelet ...

With the dramatic growth of nonlinear loads, it is desired to improve active filters performance and enhance their capacity. One of the most favorable methods is applying distributed active filter system (DAFS) in which leads to minimizing the cost, weight & size .The main purpose of this paper is to determine the locations and sizes of distributed active filter system (DAFS) With emphasis on r...

Two context-based filtering methods are introduced. The methods are based on statistical context modeling by gathering context-wise statistics from the entire image. Uncommon pixels in low information contexts are unconditionally inverted (simple context filter), or inverted conditionally depending whether the gain in compression overweighs the loss of information (gain-loss filter). Both metho...
