Prophetic Subjectivity in Later Levinas

This paper explores how Levinas redefines the traditional notion of prophecy shifting the emphasis from the content of prophecy to the figure of the prophet, thus making prophetic inspiration a key feature of ethical subjectivity. The principal aim of the paper is to analyse the resulting triangular structure involving God and the Other. This structure is inherently unstable because God is incessantly stepping back in kenotic withdrawal. I show how this fundamental instability is reflected in the structure of the phenomenalisation of God’s glory, the structure of obedience to God’s order, and the structure of the authorship of prophecy. The prophetic experience is marked by heterogeneity; it can never be completely appropriated. Responsibility for the Other brings the subject to light as a witness of the glory of the Infinite, but not as the subject of selfidentification.

Multiband Cross-Shaped Inverse Triangular Notch Antenna for Radio Shadow Zone Communication

This paper proposes a multiband cross-shaped inverse triangular notch antenna on a circular ground plane for a radio shadow zone mobile communication design for a broadband repeater antenna in the firefighting band for in-building mobile communication. To arrive at the broad and multi-bandwidth reflection coefficients, methods are considered for optimizing the cross-shaped notch antenna with an inverse triangular structure and the circular ground plane. The measured reflection coefficients are observed −10 dB lower in the firefighting band (440–450 MHz) and the mobile repeater band (890–2,450 MHz), and they agree well with those obtained through simulation. The desired omni-directional patterns are obtained in the firefighting band, even though the radiation patterns in the Wi-Fi band have directivity from 10° to 15° and from −10° to −50°. The measured radiation patterns and gains also agree well with the predictions.
