Compact Ultrawide Band Metamaterial-Inspired Split Ring Resonator Structure Loaded Band Notched Antenna

Abstract

A novel compact size ultrawide band planar antenna with band notched characteristics is present. The band rejection characteristic is achieved by loading a pair of metamaterial inspired rectangular split ring resonator (SRR) near the feed line and by etching the SRR slots on a radiating patch. The simulated and measured results reveal that the proposed antenna exhibits the impedance bandwidth over the ultrawide band (UWB) frequency range from 3.1 to 14 GHz with the voltage standing wave ratio less than 2 except for band stop bands at 3.29 to 3.7 GHz (WiMAX band), 3.7 to 4.10 GHz (C-band), 5.1 to 5.9 GHz (WLAN band), and 7.06 to 7.76 GHz (downlink X-band satellite communication), respectively. The proposed antenna fabricated on low-cost FR-4 substrate has compact size of 24 × 20 × 1.6 mm3. The simulation results are compared with measured results and demonstrate good agreement with stable gain over pass bands. The proposed antenna also exhibits dipole-like radiation pattern in E-plane and omni-directional pattern in H-plane. These results led to conclusion that the presented antenna is a suitable candidate for ultrawide band UWB applications with desired band notch characteristics.

Environmental Health Risk Evaluation Model for Coastal Chemical Industry

“…One of the most extensively used models for describing the diffusion concentration distribution of pollutants continually leaking into the atmosphere along the downwind direction is the Gaussian plume diffusion model. It is a simulation model recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the long-term leakage of neutral or positive floating gas diffusion with the leakage source as a stable point source [ 17 ], wind speed and wind direction, and large gas stability. When toxic gas leaks for a long time (lasting for more than 10 min), its leakage source can be considered as continuous and uniform.…”

Homogeneous Decision Community Extraction Based on End-User Mental Behavior on Social Media

“…Therefore, the psychological expressions of the face can be studied through machine vision. According to the above characteristics, several mainstream methods for psychological-expression recognition are Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) [ 11 ], Optical Flow (Optical Flow) method, and Local Binary Pattern (LBP).…”

“…However, in the actual decision-making process, due to the ambiguity of decision-making information and the limitations of decision-makers cognition, decision-makers are often more willing to give evaluation information in the form of interval language to reduce decision-making pressure. In response to such problems, [ 11 ] showed the definition of interval binary semantics and several set counters and used the interval binary semantic possibility formula to sort the solutions; reference [ 12 ], based on the maximum dispersion [ 13 ], defined a new interval binary semantic Bonferroni average operator and its corresponding weighting method; reference [ 14 ] combined interval binary semantics and VIKOR method, and proposed an outsourcing supplier selection method; reference [ 15 ] proposed a subway door failure risk assessment method based on interval binary semantics and failure mode. The method proposed in the literature [ 11 – 15 ] has the following shortcomings: first, the evaluation information is uniformly distributed in the interval by default, and the distribution of information in the gap that is more in line with the psychology of decision-makers is not considered; second, most of the existing research in the single static stage, [ 16 ] it is not suitable for the situation that requires dynamic multistage analysis; thirdly, the above methods all assume that the decision-maker is entirely rational, [ 17 ] but in the actual decision-making, the decision-makers psychological behavior is often bounded rationality.…”

“…Psychological behaviors usually change uncontrollably between 1/25 and 1/2 s [ 22 ], and the frequency of occurrence is low, and untrained individuals do not have high recognition ability [ 23 ]. Therefore, the results reported by different researchers also vary considerably [ 11 , 24 ]. After this, Ekman and Friesen proposed the Brief Affect Recognition Test (BART) in 1979 [ 12 ].…”

“…In Howard et al (2017) two hyper-parameter resolution and width multiplier, the model creator can develop the best size model based on the problem, that is, a constraint. In (Tan and Le 2019) the authors suggested an appropriate scaling approach, which uniformly scales all three parameters width/depth/resolution dimensions using a compound coefficient (Jairath et al 2021).…”
