In this paper, a microstrip diplexer composed of two similar resonators is designed. The proposed resonator is consisting of four microstrip cells, which are connected to a coupled lines structure. In order to select a suitable geometric structure, first, all cells are assumed as undefined structures where there is a lack of basic information about their geometry and dimensions. Then, an equivalent LC circuit of the coupled lines is introduced and analyzed to estimate the general structure of the resonator respect to a requested resonance frequency. The proposed diplexer is designed to operate at 2.36 and 4 GHz for wireless applications. The insertion losses (S21 and S31) are decreased significantly at the resonance frequencies, so that they are 0.2 and 0.4 dB at 2.36 and 4 GHz, respectively. The designed diplexer is fabricated and measured and the measurement results are in a good agreement with the simulations.

In this work, a novel structure of a microstrip diplexer consisting of coupled patch cells is presented. It works at 2.5 GHz and 4.7 GHz for wireless applications. The proposed structure is well miniaturized with a compact area of 0.015 λg2, fabricated on 0.787 mm substrate height. It has two wide fractional bandwidths (FBWs) of 28% and 17.9% at the lower and upper channels, respectively. Another feature of the proposed design is the low group delays, which are better than 0.4 ns for both channels. Moreover, the designed diplexer can suppress the harmonics up to 10 GHz. Meanwhile, the insertion losses at both channels are low. The design method is based on proposing an approximated equivalent LC circuit of a novel basic resonator. The information about the resonator behavior is extracted from the even and odd modes analysis of the proposed equivalent LC circuit. Finally, our introduced diplexer is fabricated and measured to verify the simulation results, where the simulated and measured results are in good agreement.

A novel two-iteration binary tree fractal bionic structure antenna is proposed for the third generation (3G), fourth generation (4G), WLAN, and Bluetooth wireless applications in the paper, which is based on the principles of conventional microstrip monopole antenna and resonant coupling technique, combined with the advantages of fractal geometry. A new fractal structure was presented for antenna radiator, similar to the tree in nature. The proposed antenna adapted two iterations on a fractal structure radiator, which covers mobile applications in two broad frequency bands with a bandwidth of 44.2% (1.85–2.9 GHz) for TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, CDMA2000, LTE33-41, and Bluetooth frequency bands, and 11.5% (4.9–5.5 GHz) for WLAN frequency band. The proposed antenna was fabricated on a G10/FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a size of 50 × 40 mm2. The good agreement between the measurement results and the simulation results validate that the proposed design approach meet the requirements for various wireless applications.

Engine Power

A comprehensive modal emission model for light-duty cars and trucks is being developed. More than 300 real-world vehicles are being recruited for in-house dynamometer testing under as-is conditions to provide the foundation for the model. The model is designed to predict second-by-second tailpipe emissions under a variety of driving conditions. The vehicles can be modeled as individual vehicles with properly functioning, deteriorated, or malfunctioning emission control conditions, or as composite vehicles representing different vehicle technology categories. The model is based on a simple parameterized physical approach and consists of six modules that predict engine power, engine speed, air/fuel ratio, fuel use, engine-out emissions, and catalyst pass fraction. When developing the model, four important vehicle operating conditions are considered: cold and warm starts; normal, stoichiometric operation; high-power enrichment; and lean-burn operation. The model concept and the expected input/output requirements of the model are discussed. The general structure of the model also is presented, focusing on emissions for vehicles operating under hot-stabilized conditions. Preliminary results of the model are given, and comparisons are made between the modeled and measurement results for 17 sample vehicles. Preliminary results show good agreement.

Narrow Bandpass Filter

This paper presents an implementation of quarter wavelength single-shorted coupled-lines for narrow bandpass filter application. It is shown as a new way of creating a single resonance bandpass filter by inter-connected of two <br /> single-shorted quarter wavelength coupled-line sections. By adding more single-shorted coupled-line into the configuration, the form of halfwavelength resonator can increase the degree of order of the filter. For the design of 4<sup>th</sup> order resonator, the coupledlines are arranged inter-connected to each other forming five-fingers lines layout. Due to the interconnection of the coupledlines, transmission zeros appear at the two stopbands which improves the selectivity of the filter response. Investigation on the parametric of the 4<sup>th</sup> order resonator is conducted to observe the controlling parameters and it’s realiability responses of the resonator. For compactness, five-fingers meandered lines is proposed. It is found that the size of the meandered lines resonator was successfully reduced by 33% compared to the five-fingers straight lines resonator of the same order. For validation of concept, the 4<sup>th</sup> order meandered lines resonator was designed at 1 GHz and fabricated on RO3210 microstrip substrate with characteristics given as h = 1.27 mm, Ɛr = 10.2 and tan δ = 3x10<sup>-3</sup>. The measurement results show good agreement with the simulation results.

Over the past decade, artificial neural networks have emerged as fast computational medium for predicting different performance parameters of microstrip antennas due to their learning and generalization features. This paper illustrates a neural network model for instantly predicting the resonance frequencies, gains, directivities, antenna efficiencies, and radiation efficiencies for dual-frequency operation of slotted microstrip antennas with air-gap. The proposed neural model is valid for any arbitrary slot-dimensions and inserted air-gap within their specified ranges. A prototype is fabricated using Roger’s substrate and its performance is measured for validation. A very good agreement is achieved in simulated, predicted, and measured results.

First Time

A dual-band bandpass-bandpass microstrip diplexer with very small size and good performance is designed in this work. The proposed diplexer has a novel structure which is introduced for the first time in this paper. In comparison with the previously reported diplexers, it occupies the most compact size of 0.002 λg2 (226.7 mm2), fabricated on 0.787 mm dielectric substrate height. The resonance frequencies of the presented diplexer are located at 0.76 GHz and 1.79 GHz making it suitable for the global system for mobile communications (GSM) applications. It has a wide flat channels with two fractional bandwidths (FBWs) of 41.1% and 50%. Another feature of the proposed diplexer is its ability to suppress the harmonics. It can attenuate the 1st to 7th harmonics. Moreover, it has low insertion losses and low group delays at both channels while the isolation and return losses are acceptable. Finally, the proposed diplexer is fabricated and measured to verify the simulation results, where a good agreement between the simulation and measurement results is obtained.

Design, fabrication and measurement of a high-selectivity dual-mode dual-band bandpass filter are presented in this paper. The resonance frequencies of the filter are 1.8[Formula: see text]GHz and 2.4[Formula: see text]GHz which are generated by a meander-loop resonator and a square-loop resonator. The two dual-mode single-band-loop resonators are stacked on each other and create a dual-band bandpass filter. Some advantages of our design are compact size, high selectivity, low loss and also no dependence of two bands, resonance frequencies on each other. The measurement results exhibit that the minimum insertion losses are 0.19[Formula: see text]dB for 1.8[Formula: see text]GHz and 0.32[Formula: see text]dB for 2.4[Formula: see text]GHz. Moreover return losses are better than 43.2[Formula: see text]dB and 40.6[Formula: see text]dB for 1.8[Formula: see text]GHz and 2.4[Formula: see text]GHz, respectively. The proposed filter has a size of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mm2. This microstrip filter is fabricated on RT/Duroid6010 substrate with dielectric constant 10.8 and thickness 1.27[Formula: see text]mm and its equivalent circuit is also offered. The measured results exhibit good agreement with the simulated ones.

An original poling method using purely optical means and based on a dual-frequency interference process is presented. We show that the coherent superposition of two beams at fundamental and second-harmonic frequencies results in a polar field with an irreducible rotational spectrum containing both a vector and an octupolar component. This enables the method to be applied even to molecules without a permanent dipole such as octupolar molecules. After a theoretical analysis of the process, we describe different experiments aiming at light-induced noncentrosymmetry performed respectively on one-dimensional Disperse Red 1 and octupolar Ethyl Violet molecules. Macroscopic octupolar patterning of the induced order is demonstrated in both transient and permanent regimes. Experimental results show good agreement with theory.

AbstractIn this paper, a balanced-to-balanced (BTB) branch-slotline directional coupler (DC) is firstly presented, which can realize an arbitrary power division ratios (PDRs). The coupler is composed by microstrip-to-slotline (MS) transition structures and branch-slotline coupled structures. The single-ended to balanced-ended conversion is simplified and easy to implemented by the MS transition structures, which intrinsically leads to the differential-mode (DM) transmission and common-mode (CM) suppression. Moreover, the different PDRs which are controlled by the widths of branch-slotlines can be achieved. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed design method, two prototype circuits of the proposed coupler with different PDRs are fabricated and measured. The return loss and the isolation of two designs are all better than 10 dB. Moreover, the CM suppressions are greater than 35 dB. A good agreement between the simulation and measurement results is observed.
