A compact ultra-wideband microstrip-fed planar monopole antenna with dual band-notch characteristic is presented. Dual notched frequency bands are achieved by embedding an M-slot in the radiating patch and a W-slot in the ground beneath the feeding line. And the characteristics of the dual band-notched can be controlled by adjusting the length and position of the corresponding slot. Experimenta...

In this paper, a microstrip-fed hexagonal shape ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with triple notched bands is presented. The antenna consists of a microstrip feed line, a regular hexagonal shape radiation patch with a complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) and a pair of inverted T-shaped conductor-backed planes embedded in the antenna backside. Notched bands can be easily controlled by ...

Maladaptive auditory cortex reorganization may contribute to the generation and maintenance of tinnitus. Because cortical organization can be modified by behavioral training, we attempted to reduce tinnitus loudness by exposing chronic tinnitus patients to self-chosen, enjoyable music, which was modified ("notched") to contain no energy in the frequency range surrounding the individual tinnitus...

Log-periodic array antennas have been investigated over a long period of time, the reason for the same being its provision of a constant radiation performance and good reflection coefficient performance over a wide frequency band, which can be considered as an important characteristic of this type of antennas. It created a high impact on development of new generation antennas with advanced feat...

This paper presents a new ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with sharp roll-off and dual-notched bands. The filter consists of a triangle ring multi-mode resonator (MMR) with the stub-loaded resonator (SLR) for controlling the two transmission zeros at 2.8 / 11 GHz, the embedded open-circuited stub and the asymmetric tight coupled input/output (I/O) lines for introducing the dual notch...

We auditorily stimulated patients affected by subjective tinnitus with broadband noise containing a notch around their tinnitus frequency. We assessed the long-term effects on tinnitus perception in patients listening to notched noise stimuli (referred to as windowed sound therapy [WST]) by measuring the variation of subjects' tinnitus loudness over a period of 2-12 months. We tested the effect...

A novel planar ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with triple-notched bands using triple-mode stub loaded resonator (SLR) is presented in this paper. The basic UWB antenna consists of a circularshaped radiating element, a 50Ω microstrip feed line, and a partially truncated ground plane. Then, the resonance properties of the SLR are studied. Results reveal that the multiple-mode property of the SLR ca...

A variable-duration notched-noise experiment was conducted in a noise context. Broadband noise preceded and followed a tone and notched noise of similar duration. Thresholds were measured at four durations (10, 30, 100, and 300 ms), two center frequencies (0.6, 2.0 kHz), and five relative notch widths (0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8). At 0.6 kHz, 10-ms thresholds decrease 6 dB across notch widths, whi...
