Design of microstrip ultra wide band antenna with two notch filters for wireless communication by Abdulhasan, Raed Abdulkareem

“…In order to add reconfigurable characteristics to the patch antenna, two copper strips are putted on the slots to represent the ON and OFF switching status of an ideal Pin diode. By using this simple switching technique, the current distribution of the patch changes and enables the antenna to have four modes of operation. …”

Inflation and inflation uncertainty in the Euro area by Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Onorante, Luca, Paesani, Paolo

“…This paper estimates a time-varying AR-GARCH model of inflation producing measures of inflation uncertainty for the euro area, and investigates the linkages between them in a VAR framework, also allowing for the possible impact of the policy regime change associated with the start of EMU in 1999. The main findings are as follows. Steady-state inflation and inflation uncertainty have declined steadily since the inception of EMU, whilst short-run uncertainty has increased, mainly owing to exogenous shocks. …”
