A Frequency-Reconfigurable Monopole Antenna with Switchable Stubbed Ground Structure
A frequency-reconfigurable coplanar-waveguide (CPW) fed monopole antenna using switchable stubbed ground structure is presented. Four PIN diodes are employed in the stubs stretching from the ground to make the antenna reconfigurable in three operating modes: a single-band mode (2.4-2.9 GHz), a dual-band mode (2.4-2.9 GHz/5.09-5.47 GHz) and a triple-band mode (3.7-4.26 GHz/5.3-6.3 GHz/8.0-8.8 GHz). The monopole antenna is resonating at 2.4 GHz, while the stubs produce other operating frequency bands covering a number of wireless communication systems, including WLAN, WiMAX, C-band, and ITU. Furthermore, an optimized biasing network has been integrated into this antenna, which has little influence on the performance of the antenna. This paper presents, compares and discusses the simulated and measured results
New Results for Diffusion in Lorentz Lattice Gas Cellular Automata
New calculations to over ten million time steps have revealed a more complex
diffusive behavior than previously reported, of a point particle on a square
and triangular lattice randomly occupied by mirror or rotator scatterers. For
the square lattice fully occupied by mirrors where extended closed particle
orbits occur, anomalous diffusion was still found. However, for a not fully
occupied lattice the super diffusion, first noticed by Owczarek and Prellberg
for a particular concentration, obtains for all concentrations. For the square
lattice occupied by rotators and the triangular lattice occupied by mirrors or
rotators, an absence of diffusion (trapping) was found for all concentrations,
except on critical lines, where anomalous diffusion (extended closed orbits)
occurs and hyperscaling holds for all closed orbits with {\em universal}
exponents and . Only one point on these critical lines can be related to a
corresponding percolation problem. The questions arise therefore whether the
other critical points can be mapped onto a new percolation-like problem, and of
the dynamical significance of hyperscaling.Comment: 52 pages, including 18 figures on the last 22 pages, email:

The Properties of H{\alpha} Emission-Line Galaxies at z = 2.24
Using deep narrow-band and -band imaging data obtained with
CFHT/WIRCam, we identify a sample of 56 H emission-line galaxies (ELGs)
at with the 5 depths of and (AB)
over 383 arcmin area in the ECDFS. A detailed analysis is carried out
with existing multi-wavelength data in this field. Three of the 56 H
ELGs are detected in Chandra 4 Ms X-ray observation and two of them are
classified as AGNs. The rest-frame UV and optical morphologies revealed by
HST/ACS and WFC3 deep images show that nearly half of the H ELGs are
either merging systems or with a close companion, indicating that the
merging/interacting processes play a key role in regulating star formation at
cosmic epoch z=2-3; About 14% are too faint to be resolved in the rest-frame UV
morphology due to high dust extinction. We estimate dust extinction from SEDs.
We find that dust extinction is generally correlated with H luminosity
and stellar mass (SM). Our results suggest that H ELGs are
representative of star-forming galaxies (SFGs). Applying extinction correction
for individual objects, we examine the intrinsic H luminosity function
(LF) at , obtaining a best-fit Schechter function characterized by a
faint-end slope of . This is shallower than the typical slope of
in previous works based on constant extinction correction.
We demonstrate that this difference is mainly due to the different extinction
corrections. The proper extinction correction is thus key to recovering the
intrinsic LF as the extinction globally increases with H luminosity.
Moreover, we find that our H LF mirrors the SM function of SFGs at the
same cosmic epoch. This finding indeed reflects the tight correlation between
SFR and SM for the SFGs, i.e., the so-called main sequence.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures, 2 tables, Received 2013 October 11; accepted
