The analyses were carried out using the method of moments simulation software. It is shown that a patch with three slots has a multi-band feature with four resonant frequencies at 1.6, 1.8, 2.65, and 4.83 GHz and adequate values of return loss and gain. It is also shown that a patch with two pairs of wide slots arranged at both the radiating edges has the dual band feature with resonant frequencies at 1.64 and 1.8 GHz and good values of return loss and gain.展开更多

The numerical results on 10 benchmark functions demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm. Then, the proposed algorithm is presented to design a butterfly-shaped microstrip patch antenna. Combined with the HFSS solver, a butterfly-shaped patch antenna with a bandwidth of about 40.1% is designed by using the proposed OMSPSO. The return loss of the butterfly-shaped antenna is greater than 10 d B between 4.15 and 6.36 GHz. The antenna can serve simultaneously for the high-speed wireless computer networks(5.15–5.35 GHz) and the RFID systems(5.8 GHz).展开更多

Microstrip patch antennas＇ resonant frequencies with two shorting pins are represented in this study by not only considering the theoretical results but also considering the both simulated and experimental results. For each geometry, positions of shorting pins are varied and effects of these variations are analyzed. The presented patch antennas in literature which have the same shape with shorting pin and without shorting pin are compared and results are presented. The methods in literature presented for estimating the resonant frequency depends on analytical methods which are originated from curve fitting. The results of this study will be the basement of the latter studies that predict the resonant frequencies of mentioned antennas before producing the antenna so that the engineers handle the problem by saving the time and estimating the frequency before production.展开更多

A cliromosome 14q24.3 band-specific single copy DNA pool was constructed based on this probe pool. Using total DNA of the pool as probe to hybridize the human marrow cDNA library, 68 primary positive clones were selected from 5 ×105 cDNA clones. Among these primary clones, 32 secondary clones were obtained after second-round screening and designed as cFD14-1～32. Finally, 24 band-specific expression fragments were identified from these 32 positive clones by DNA hybridization. Those band-specific clones can hybridize to both 14q24.3 DNA and human genomic DNA but cann’t hybridize to 17q11～12 DNA. Partial sequences of 13 fragments of them were sequenced and identified as novel cDNA sequences , and these sequences were proved to have some homology with known genes in NCBI database. Analysis of expression spectrum of cFD14-1 suggested that the cDNA fragments thus obtained should be used to isolate the genes can not been cloned in 14q24.3region.展开更多
