Bandwidth extension of planar antennas using embedded slits for reliable multiband RF communications by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Naser-Moghadasi, Mohammad, Sadeghzadeh, Ramazan Ali, Virdee, Bal Singh, Limiti, Ernesto

“…This is accomplished by embedding capacitive slits in the rectangular patch with a truncated ground-plane, and exciting the antenna through a meandered strip-line feed. The proposed antenna was fabricated on standard FR-4 substrate with permittivity of 4.6, thickness of 0.8 mm and loss-tangent of 0.001. …”

Partners in national cyber security strategy? : An analysis of cyber security strategies of Ministry of Defence and police in UK by Onugha, Chikaodi Viola

“…The research also found that the Cyber Security Strategy is mainly state centric while policing is human centric in approach, this accounts for the challenges in bringing the policing cyber strategy in line with the National cyber strategy. The research concludes that an increase in education and expertise of both forces will help enhance bi-lateral and multi-lateral partnerships in the race to make the UK cyberspace safe.…”

Multiband antenna for portable device applications by Honarvar, M. Amin, Hamidi, Naeemehsadat, Virdee, Bal Singh

“…The proposed antenna consists of a combination of E-shaped and C-shaped radiators that are excited via a common microstrip feed-line. Embedded in the ground-plane are included an open- and short-ended slots whose purpose is to enhance the antenna's impedance match and increase the number of bands in which the antenna can operate. …”
