In addition, to get a wider bandwidth filters, tightly coupled lines are required, which are difficult to fabricate. On the other side a compact bandpass filter means the lowest number of sections with small size. This paper presents a technique to design a compact microstrip X-band bandpass filter using two sections and a stub to have a compact size, good sharpness on the sides, and small loss. Experimental prototype filters have been designed and measurement results show improved performance compared with the other regular cascaded coupled line bandpass filters.","PeriodicalId":300247,"journal":{"name":"2009 Mediterrannean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132982635","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}

The backward waves can be achieved only at the quasi-static resonance in case of stacked CSRRs metasurfaces and provided the longitudinal lattice is small enough. The experimental results for both structures show a good agreement with the computed ones. The physics underlying the left-handed behavior is found to rely on electroinductive waves, playing the interplate capacitive coupling the major role to explain the phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":300247,"journal":{"name":"2009 Mediterrannean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132817069","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}

The performance of the multistage PIC depends on the decision function used in the interference cancellation. In this paper, we propose to provide the performance of PIC receiver using Xha function ‘clipping’ with respect to decision threshold value. The decision threshold determines how much MAI is to be cancelled with hard decision and high probability. Otherwise, we used a soft bit decision to cancel only the interference of unreliable users form the received signal. This approach is original compared to PIC receiver with decision thresholds using null zone hard decision. It is shown that the proposed detector performs well under realistic conditions, particularly in the case of error optimisation of decision threshold value.","PeriodicalId":300247,"journal":{"name":"2009 Mediterrannean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134402271","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}
