Exploiting the peculiar resonances arising when \"complementary\" or \"conjugate\" metamaterials are paired, together with the focusing properties of low-permittivity and/or low-permeability materials, it is possible to operate a sub-wavelength open waveguide consisting of a stack of grounded metamaterial bilayers in the leaky-wave regime.

The first assessment of cluster arrival rate, ray arrival rate, cluster decaying factor and ray decaying factor was gained from spatial-averaged measured power delay profiles.

Also, interaction of laser radiation with target gives valuable information about material properties. Estimation of experimental errors in plasma spectroscopy is necessary because measurements of relative and absolute intensities are always accompanied by many difficulties and sources of possible errors. Wavelength calibration and relative spectral sensitivity calibration were performed, same as instrumental profile was determined. In wavelength calibration, by using the projection densitometer and an iron spark spectrum recorded above or below the plasma spectrum on the same film, an accuracy better than 0.01 nm can be achieved what is very good in comparison with spectral line FWHM (~ 1 nm). Calibrated tungsten filament lamp was used as spectral radiance standard with errors less than 3%. The instrumental FWHM was determined at several wavelengths in the spectral range covered and for other wavelengths it was obtained by interpolation. By comparing this instrumental profile with the real FWHM of spectral lines observed in plasma, it was obvious that the instrumental profile can be neglected for wavelengths under about 400 nm","PeriodicalId":102260,"journal":{"name":"2005 18th International Conference on Applied Electromagnetics and Communications","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121248495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We compare results of our novel design, to those of the omni-directional UWB monopole antenna (currently the most commonly used in UWB studies). Measurement and simulation results show that the developed directional UWB slot antenna has the improved radiation efficiency in the vicinity of human body.
