Finally, modifications were applied on the ground plane to increase the bandwidth of the frequencies studied. The frequencies for calculating the superior and inferior cut of the bandwidth were obtained at - 10 dB. The commercial software CST MICROWAVE STUDIO was used to calculate the properties of the antenna.","PeriodicalId":395359,"journal":{"name":"2013 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave & Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124567805","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}

It was used a simple voltage source model where an excitation plane with an Gaussian vertical electrical field was imposed to a rectangular area just below the structure to be analyzed. Results obtained for the return loss of a multiband and an UWB printed antenna are compared to those determined from conventional FFT based methods available in the scientific literature as well as measurements previously done, in order to show the applicability of the methodology that has been developed herein. The results obtained for return loss parameter showed good agreements between the techniques proposed by this work and the results previous done.","PeriodicalId":395359,"journal":{"name":"2013 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave & Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114960664","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 biggest disadvantage is a high impact of real atmosphere on availability of the links. This contribution shows results from the 4 years measurement (1.2009-12.2012) on experimental dual-wavelength optical link. The measurement site on the Milesovka Mt. is very specific. The link is very often in the middle of low cloudiness reaching the top of the mountain. Thanks to that we can measure the attenuation caused by the clouds. Our results show that the attenuation is higher comparing to the theoretical model that uses visibility as a parameter. On the other hand the measured rain attenuation is in agreement with the model determined by Carbonneau in France.","PeriodicalId":395359,"journal":{"name":"2013 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave & Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"345 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116537167","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 RSA problem belongs to the class of problems called NP-Hard, and then approaches to achieve optimal solutions are limited to solve only small instances. For real networks optimal methods cannot give a solution in viable time, hence heuristic approaches are required. Then, we propose an ILP model and Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize the RSA problem in SLICE network. In spite of scalability problem an integer linear programming (ILP) formulation is presented, with the goal of attaining optima solutions for small networks and ascertaining our heuristic's efficiency. In addition, it is presented a detailed analysis for GA's parameters.","PeriodicalId":395359,"journal":{"name":"2013 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave & Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115194143","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}
