Abstract:
A new microstrip antenna geometry with considerable reduction
in size, with similar radiation characteristics to those of an
equivalent rectangular patch antenna is proposed. A relationship
has been suggested for fmding out the resonant frequency of the
new geometry, and its validity has been established by the
experimental results. Without increasing the aperture area, this
geometry also offers a facility for considerably reducing the
resonant frequency compared to conventional patches.

Abstract:
This paper presents the design of a new type of corner reflector (CR) antenna and the experimental investigation of its radiation characteristics. The design involves the addition of planar parallel periodic strips to the two sides of a CR antenna. The position, angular orientation, and number of strips have a notable effect on the H-plane radiation characteristics of the antenna. Certain configurations of the new antenna are capable of producing very sharp axial beams with gain on the order of 5 dB over the square corner reflector antenna. A configuration that can provide symmetric twin beams with enhanced gain and reduced half-power beam width (HPBW) is also presented.
New dielectric ceramics with formula BaTi3Nb4, O„ and Ba6Til4Nbz039 have been prepared and characterized. BaTi3Nba017 was densified to 92% of TD after firing at 1310 oC for 4 h. However, Ba6Ti 1 4Nb2O39 fired under optimized conditions (1260 ` C for 4 h) showed only 85% TD together with secondary phase. The crystal system of both of the compositions is orthorhombic

Usage of a dielectric multilayer around a dielectric Sample

constant layers the appearance of undesired reflections at the
sample-air interface is avoided and higher power -absorption rates
within the sample and high -efficiency designs are obtained

Abstract:
A novel H-shaped patch antenna suitable for wireless and
satellite communications is presented. The new antenna has some advantages
compared to conventional microstrip patch antennas, such as
small size, a fewer number of modes, no harmonic resonance, and the
provision of pure reactive impedances at its harmonics that can result in
increasing the transmitter efficiency. The basic principles and design
procedure are introduced. Two antennas at two different frequencies, 4
and 10 GHz, are designed, fabricated, and measured. The measured
results show a good agreement with the predicted ones

Abstract:
Photonic band-gap (PBG) structures are utilized in microwave
components as filters to suppress unwanted signals. In this
work, rectangular perforations were created in the ground plane of a microstrip line to construct a PBG structure. A gold-coated alumina
substrate was utilized to switch or tune the bandstop characteristics of
this structure. It was demonstrated that the bandstop characteristics
were switched off from - 35 to - 1 dB at 16 GHz. Tuning of the bandstop
edge with a shift of 1.5 GHz was also shown
HIV/AIDS is one of the most destructive epidemics in
ever recorded history claims an estimated 2.4 –3.3 million lives every
year. Even though there is no treatment for this pandemic Elisa and
Western Blot tests are the only tests currently available for detecting
HIV/AIDS. This article proposes a new method of detecting HIV/AIDS
based on the measurement of the dielectric properties of blood at the
microwave frequencies. The measurements were made at the S-band of
microwave frequency using rectangular cavity perturbation technique
with the samples of blood from healthy donors as well as from HIV/AIDS patients. An appreciable change is observed in the dielectric properties
of patient samples than with the normal healthy samples and these
measurements were in good agreement with clinical results. This measurement
is an alternative in vitro method of diagnosing HIV/AIDS using microwaves.

Abstract:
A forward - biased point contact germanium signal diode placed inside a waveguide section along the E -vector is found to
introduce significant phase shift of microwave signals . The usefulness of the arrangement as a phase modulator for microwave
carriers is demonstrated. While there is a less significant amplitude modulation accompanying phase modulation , the insertion
losses are found to be negligible. The observations can be explained on the basis of the capacitance variation of the barrier layer
with forward current in the diode
