A compact ultra-wide-band (UWB) band-pass filter (BPF) with dual notch bands is presented using novel defected ground structures (DGS). A couple of triangle-ring resonators with four open-stubs fed by a couple of inter-digital coupled structures is developed to meet the UWB requirement of a uniform 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz full-band transmission response. Dual notch bands are generated for filtering o...

Metamaterials realizing stop bands have attracted much attentions recently since they can break-through the well-known mass law. However, achieving the stop band at extremely low frequency has been still a big challenge in the fields of elastic metamaterials. In this paper, we propose a new metamaterial based on the idea of the zero rotational stiffness, to achieve extremely low frequency stop ...

This paper studies the potential of a periodic grid of vibration absorbers to achieve global plate vibration reduction. The global plate vibration reduction is pursued by applying the principles of resonance based stop bands. This principle is investigated both by infinite structure theory and by an example of a finite plate with a periodic grid of tuned resonators. Specific attention is paid t...

We consider resonant tunneling of electromagnetic waves through an optical barrier formed by dielectric layers with the frequency dispersion of their dielectric permiability. The frequency region between lower and upper polariton branches in these materials presents a stop band for electromagnetic waves. We show that resonance tunneling through this kind of barriers is qualitatevely different f...

This paper investigates an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a triple-rectangular notch band at 5G, WLAN, and Satellite downlink bands. The 5G WLAN bands are notched by using pair of electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures while the satellite is two split-ring resonators (SRRs). EBG structure metallic conductor loaded on backside radiator which connected to patch via shorting pin. SRRs consist...
