Improvements in data reduction in direct pulse heating calorimetry

This paper describes improvements introduced in data reduction in direct heating pulse specific heat experiments. In calculations of specific heat, it is necessary to calculate the first derivative of the recorded temperature data as a function of time. The error induced by different numerical differentiation techniques can represent a significant part of the overall measurement error. Thus, different digital filtering techniques, differentiation, and smoothing algorithms were applied and tested to examine their influence on the minimization of errors induced by noise, which is unavoidable in measured signals. A minimum square error criterion was applied in designing digital filters, with arbitrary prescribed magnitude characteristics. Attention was paid to applications when one or more structural phase transitions in the specimen material occur within the temperature range covered by the experiment. The cases where the frequency spectrum of induced noise overlaps with the spectrum of temperature transient signals originating from phase transitions were analyzed in detail. The effectiveness of the methods of extracting the final specific heat data from a noisy signal using different digital filtering techniques is demonstrated.Paper presented at the Fourth International Workshop on Subsecond Thermophysics, June 27–29, 1995, Köln, Germany.     

Waveguide filter with improved stopband response using transversal slots

In this article, the design and realization of waveguide filter with improved stop‐band response is presented. By inserting transversal slots at the proper position of cavities, without disturbing the field distribution of the dominant mode, the second longitudinal resonant modes are radiated out. This caused the out‐of‐band frequency response of the filter to be improved. The validity of the proposed technique is confirmed by comparison between measurement values and simulation results from the finite element method through the commercial software (high frequency structure simulator). Also, to assure electromagnetic compatibility the slot surfaces are covered by absorbing material. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2011.     

Hilbert‐shaped complementary ring resonator and application to enhanced‐performance low pass filter with high selectivity

In this article, a novel single negative metamaterial (MTM) transmission line (TL) consisting of a Hilbert‐shaped complementary ring resonator (H‐CRR) on the ground plane is initially presented and studied in depth. Then based on the proposed MTM TL, a novel six‐section Hi‐Lo microstrip low‐pass filter (LPF) with a cut‐off frequency 2.5 GHz is developed, fabricated, and measured. Measurement results indicate that: by integrating H‐CRR, the selectivity has been significantly improved which is 77.3 dB/GHz due to the single negative permittivity; by etching a crown square on low‐impedance section, the bandwidth characterized by 20 dB return loss was obviously enhanced by 26.2% and the maximal sidelobe level of in‐band return loss was reduced from 22 to 24.6 dB. What' more, the developed LPF achieved a 36.3% size reduction with respect to its conventional counterpart. The design concept, which was confirmed by the measurement data, is of practical value and can be popularized in other microwave devices where high selectivity is requested. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A modified design approach for compact ultra‐wideband microstrip filters

A modified design approach for compact ultra‐wideband microstrip filters with cascaded/folded stepped‐impedance resonators is described. The key feature of the proposed method is to facilitate stronger coupling between stepped‐impedance resonators and, at the same time, eliminate the requirement of extremely small gaps in coupled‐line sections, as found in traditional designs. Simulations and measurements demonstrate that the filters designed with this technique exhibit good reflection, insertion‐loss, and group‐delay performance within the 3.1–10.6 GHz band. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effects of temperature, relative humidity and reducing gases on the ultraviolet response of ZnO based film bulk acoustic-wave resonator

This study investigated the influence of temperature, relative humidity and reducing gases on the ultraviolet (UV) response of ZnO based film bulk acoustic-wave resonator (FBAR). As temperature increased, the UV response of the FBAR degraded. This was attributed to the softening of the ZnO film with increasing temperature. Water molecules can replace adsorbed oxygen on the ZnO surface. At high relative humidity, more oxygen was replaced by water. In this way, the density of the ZnO film increased and less oxygen was left on the surface to be desorbed by UV, both of which contributed to a lower UV response. Reducing gases, such as acetone, can react with the surface adsorbed oxygen and reduce the density of the ZnO film, resulting in UV response degradation.     

A compact printed multistubs loaded resonator rectangular monopole antenna design for multiband wireless systems

In the present article, a compact triple‐band multistubs loaded resonator printed monopole antenna is proposed. The antenna consists of a quarter wavelength two asymmetrical inverted L‐shaped stubs to excite two resonant modes for 3.5/5.5 GHz bands and one integrated horizontally T‐shaped stub with inverted long L‐shaped stub to excite resonant mode for 2.5 GHz band. By loading these stub resonators along y‐axis with distinct gaps, the antenna resonates at three frequencies 2.57/3.52/5.51 GHz covering the desired bands while keeping compact size of 24 × 30 mm² (0.2 × 0.25 ). The proposed antenna is fabricated on Rogers RT/duroid 5880 substrate with thickness 0.79 mm and its performance experimentally verified. The measured results reveal that the antenna has the impedance bandwidths of about 210 MHz (2.50‐2.71 GHz), 260 MHz (3.37‐3.63 GHz), and 650 MHz (5.20‐5.85 GHz), for 2.5/3.5/5.5 GHz WiMAX and 5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN band systems. The antenna provides omnidirectional radiation patterns and flat antenna gains over the three operating bands. In addition, the design approach and effects of multistubs resonator lengths on the operating bands are also examined and discussed in detail.     

Tri‐band composite cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna with hybrid mode excitation and cross‐polarization suppression

This communication investigates composite cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) for various wireless applications. Three important features of proposed antenna design are (i) realization of two different hybrid modes, that is, HEM_11δ and HEM_12δ mode in CDRA with the help of modified annular ring printed line (work as both magnetic dipole and electric dipole), both the hybrid modes support broadside radiation characteristics (ii) suppression of HEM_21δ mode, in order to reduce the cross‐polarization level in H‐plane of other hybrid modes (HEM_11δ and HEM_12δ mode) by an amount of 8‐10 dB (iii) creation of triple‐band attribute using the concept of composite antenna. The proposed antenna design has been fabricated and practically tested. Simulated outcomes show good agreement with measured outcomes. It works in three frequency bands, that is, 2.25‐2.79 GHz, 3.1‐4.0 GHz, and 5.05‐5.6 GHz. The designed antenna structure is appropriate for WLAN and WiMAX applications.

Analysis of whispering-gallery superconducting dielectric resonator modes

The whispering-gallery (WG) modes of a superconducting dielectric resonator (SDR) based on a sapphire cylindrical dielectric resonator and a YBa₂Cu₃O_{7 –} shielding cylinder have been studied. A method for the determination of the resonant frequencies and the maximum quality factor of such modes is presented. Calculations have shown that most of the mode energy could be confined between the caustic surface of the WG modes provided the dimensions of the SDR are properly selected, and a magnitude of 10⁹ forQ of the SDR could be estimated. A phenomenal explanation is given to account for such outstanding microwave behavior.
