Some novel bandstop filters (BSF's) are proposed,including a sharp-rejection BSF via the combination of the conventional BSF and signal interference technique, a sharp-rejection dual-band BSF using signal-interaction concept with three paths. The measurement results have a good agreement with the simulation results.

Two different reconfigurable techniques for spectrum-monitoring antenna are presented. The first method inserts high-performance RF-MEMS switches along the microstrip feed line and back slot of a Vivaldi antenna for switching between three frequency bands centered at 2, 3.5 and 5.25 GHz. The second method collocates three different excitations in the defined space and utilise a common aperture for the bands from 500 MHz to 8GHz. The radiation patterns of the two proposed antennas are maintained in the broadside direction. The proposed antennas offer improved performance over multiple antennas, wideband and multiband application and are suitable for wide RF spectrum monitoring.

In this paper, we present a coupled-fed meandered loop antenna on a planar structure. The antenna is fabricated on the FR4 substrate of thickness of 1.6mm and permittivity of 4.4. The antenna with a total size of 30 mm × 13.75 mm × 1.6 mm is feed by a 50 Ohm mini-coaxial line. By using an L-shaped monopole connected on the coaxial line and the meander loop to generate multiple modes to form the required bandwidth in IEEE 802.11 a/b/g applications. Simulated and measured results are in good agreement, and the antenna design and performances are discussed in this paper.

MHz frequency range is often used for wireless power transmission engineering, antenna engineering and so on. In the FDTD method, small cell size is required with complexity of analysis object. On the other hand, the FDTD maximum time step is determined by FDTD cell size. A quite small time step is required if small cell size is used. However, time period of MHz is long. Therefore, extremely large number of time steps is required to calculate MHz frequency range by the FDTD method. In this paper, reducing calculation time technique in the FDTD MHz range analysis is proposed. The proposed method uses ARMA (Autoregressive moving average model) model.

This paper describes characteristics of direct and scattered waves that are extracted from measurement channel data obtained using a 3.35 GHz vector channel sounder in an indoor environment. Each ray of the scattered waves is designated a number in order of the received level. The relationship between the ray number and the characteristics of each ray such as the received level, delay time, and azimuth angle of arrival (AOA) are investigated.

This paper proposes composed right/left handed transmission lines (CRLH-TL) consisting of arbitrarily-shaped conductor elements, which are designed by a genetic algorithm (GA). However, when the right/left handed transmission lines are constructed by these elements, the higher-order mode coupling between the adjacent elements often causes the unexpected transmission characteristics error and then the performance is deteriorated. So, we choose not only the phase constants in the case of infinite periodic cells but also transmission characteristics in periodic 3 cells as a fitness function. A design example is demonstrated, and its effectiveness is proved from comparison of transmission characteristics between the calculated and the measured results.

A single-fed miniaturized circularly polarized (CP) microstrip patch antenna is designed and experimentally demonstrated for biomedical applications. The proposed antenna is designed utilizing the capacitive loading on the radiator. Compared with a square patch antenna, the proposed antenna has achieved a significant size-reduction of ~72%. The footprint of proposed antenna is 10×10×1.27 mm3. The simulated impedance, axial ratio (AR) and radiation pattern are studied and compared in different phantom model and a Gustav voxel human body. The effect of different body phantoms is discussed to evaluate the sensitivity of the proposed antenna. The simulated and measured impedance bandwidths in one-layer skin phantom are 7.7% and 10.2%, respectively.

Various applications utilizing the locality of the fading characteristics have recently been developed. In case we estimate received signal beyond the spatial correlation distance of the fading characteristics, a variety of new applications can be imagined. In this paper we propose a method to estimate received signal at an arbitrary remote location. The MUSIC method and the Least squares method are utilized to estimate the received signal. We present the details of the proposed method and evaluate the estimation performance by computer simulations quantitatively.
