- We present a new compact multiband antenna for stroke diagnosis systems over 0.5–3 GHz—the miniaturized self-grounded Bow-Tie antenna in a compact water-filled cylindrical bolus. A prototype of the antenna has been manufactured. Simulated and measured results have shown a low reflection coefficient, directional radiation characteristic, and a low radiation leakage-out ratio of the antenna.

In: Microwave and Optical Technology Letters. - : Wiley. - 1098-2760 .- 0895-2477. ; 55:3, s. 589-593
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article presents a compact multiband planar antenna designed for mobile phone applications.The antenna performance is achieved by designing a planar monopole antenna into distributed radiating elements. The proposed antenna is comprised of a chopped circular radiator appended with a meander line and an L-strip coupled element, which is an extension of the ground plane. The combination of a chopped circular patch and L-shaped coupling strip residing on the top side generates lower band while upper band resonances are attained separately by chopped circular resonator and meander line elements. The antenna shows a planar structure which occupies an area of 56 x 17.6 mm and can be directly printed onto a circuit board at low cost making it especially suitable for mobile phone applications. The manufactured antenna is experimentally verified and covers several wireless communication bands, such as LTE 750, GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS, UMTS-2110, Bluetooth, WLAN, WiMAX, and UWB. The high frequency structure simulation is used to design and analyze the antenna performance, and a practical structure was fabricated and tested. The measured and simulated return loss show good agreement.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Hydroxyapatite (HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) bioceramic and chitosan (poly [(β-1-4) d-glucosamine]) biopolymer show good biocompatibility in vivo. They have biological origin and show excellent interactions with microwave. Microwave study of HAp made using different drying techniques and their composites with chitosan in the ISM band is presented. Pastes are made using HAp and chitosan with different ratios of mixing. The dielectric properties of this composites match with that of human fat, collagen tissues. Some of the compositions exhibit dielectric property close to that of natural bone. This makes them more biocompatible and better substitutes for natural bone. Thus composite bioceramics can be considered as phantom model constituents for imaging purposes. Their dielectric properties prove that they are biocompatible. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper, an approach to analyze the bone mineral density (BMD) based on microwave reflectivity is presented The proposed method enables us to overcome the health risks associated with diagnostic techniques such as X-rays for repeated study of the rate of mineralization in the case of fractures or de-mineralization in the case of osteoporosis. The proposed method is used to demonstrate the application of microwaves for continuous observation of skull healing process during post-cranial surgery period. The proposed technique can be a potential clinical model in future for extracting target characteristics such as bone deposition thickness and other cranial defects. Based on the conclusions of wideband measured data and signal processing techniques, we propose to design the Transceiver using ultra-wideband (UWB) pulsed technology.

A novel catadioptric dielectric lens for microwave and terahertz applications

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A novel dielectric catadioptric lens, suitable for near-field sensing and imaging, is presented. The focusing property and the far-field pattern of the lens are investigated using a 3D full-wave electromagnetic solver. Furthermore, the proposed catadioptric lens has been designed and fabricated from Delrin. Simulations and measurements of the far-field at 5 GHz and return loss versus frequency using a Bow-tie slot feeding antenna are presented.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An applicator for intracavitary hyperthermia treatment of cancer has been designed and tested. The applicator is a section of a dielectric-loaded circular ridge waveguide closed at both ends to form a transmission cavity. An aperture in the cavity wall can produce a directed heating of a tumor growing in the wall of a body cavity such as the vagina.

Effects of package width on K-band high-temperature superconducting filters
- 1995

In: Microwave and Optical Technology Letters. - : Wiley. - 1098-2760 .- 0895-2477. ; 10:6, s. 315-317
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The effect of substrate/package width on filter performance is demonstrated and discussed for 18-GHz packaged filters using high-temperature superconducting (HTS), coupled microstrip lines. The filters are made of 0.3-μm YBa2Cu3O7 – ∂8 (YBCO) on MgO substrates with copper ground planes. The HTS filter shows a minimum insertion loss (IL) of 0.9 dB, steep skirts, and very good out-of-band rejection (> 45 dB up to 21 GHz) at 77 K with a bandwidth of 2.8% and a 0.3-dB ripple

Actively mode-locked fiber laser based on hybrid Raman and erbium-doped fiber gains
- 2007
-
In: Microwave and optical technology letters (Print). - : Wiley. - 0895-2477 .- 1098-2760. ; 49:10, s. 2339-2341
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An actively mode-locked fiber laser (AMLFL) based on the hybrid gain of a dispersion-shifted fiber (as the Raman gain medium) and an Erbium-doped fiber (EDF) is introduced. The fiber Raman gain mechanism can effectively suppress the gain competition of an EDF, which usually results into the supermode noise in an actively mode-locked EDF laser. We experimentally demonstrated a stable AMLFL with the repetition of about 5 GHz, in which the supermode noise is believed to be suppressed by employing the hybrid gain medium.
