Planar antennas with enhanced bandwidth and radiation characteristics by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Naser-Moghadasi, Mohammad, Sadeghzadeh, Ramazan Ali, Virdee, Bal Singh, Limiti, Ernesto

“…In this chapter, novel wideband and ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas that are based on loading the background plane of a monopole radiator with concentric split-ring resonators are presented. It is shown that this modification improves the fractional bandwidth of the antenna from 41 to 87%; in particular, the operational bandwidth of the proposed antennas is double that of a conventional monopole antenna of the same size.…”

Crystal Structure of gamma-Oxapentamidine complexed with d(CGCGAATTCGCG)2. the effects of drug structural change on DNA minor-groove recognition by Nunn, Christine M., Jenkins, Terence C., Neidle, Stephen

“…The amidinium groups of the ligand do not hydrogen bond to bases, but are in close contact with 04' sugar ring atoms. This in part explains the reduced DNA binding affinity of this ligand compared to pentamidine.…”

Mutual coupling reduction in dielectric resonator antennas using metasurface shield for 60 GHz MIMO systems by Dadgarpour, Abdolmehdi, Zarghooni, Behnam, Virdee, Bal Singh, Denidni, Tayeb A., Kishk, Ahmed A.

In search of a new class of stable nitroxide: synthesis and reactivity of a peri-substituted N,N-bissulfonylhydroxylamine by Patel, Bhaven, Carlisle, Julie, Bottle, Steven E., Hanson, Graeme R., Kariuki, Benson M., Male, Louise, McMurtrie, John C., Spencer, Neil, Grainger, Richard S.

“…In an approach to stabilising a bissulfonylnitroxide radical, the cyclic, peri-substituted N,N-bissulfonylhydroxylamine, 2-hydroxynaphtho[1,8-de][1,3,2]dithiazine 1,1,3,3-tetraoxide (1), has been prepared by formal nitrogen insertion into the sulfur–sulfur bond of a sulfinylsulfone, naphtho[1,8-cd][1,2]dithiole 1,1,2-trioxide. The heterocyclic ring of 1 is shown to adopt a sofa conformation by X-ray crystallography, with a pseudo-axial hydroxyl group. …”

Interaction suppression technique for high-density antenna arrays for mm-wave 5G MIMO systems by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Virdee, Bal Singh, Althuwayb, Ayman Abdulhadi, Falcone, Francisco, Limiti, Ernesto

“…High isolation between adjacent radiation elements was achieved by embedding a crisscrossed decoupling structure comprising slotted microstrip-lines and locating in the ground-plane under each slot a dielectric ring. The proposed periodic array behaves as artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) surfaces as incident waves in the substrate are fully reflected with a near zero degrees reflection phase. …”
