    Parametric studies on effects of defected ground structure (DGS) for dual band bandstop microstrip filter
    A dual-band bandstop microstrip filter is proposed and designed by using microstrip resonator with Defected Ground Structure (DGS). The DGS are placed in the ground plane to obtain high attenuation of the bandstop filter response. The proposed is designed by using R04003C printed circuit board with dimension of 38 mm x 20 mm. Simulated result shows an insertion loss of -12.31 dB, a return loss at -1.75 dB for center frequency at 2.4 GHz and insertion loss of -22.93 dB, a return loss of -0.78 dB for center frequency at 5.8 GHz The results of simulated in different parameters of DGS is analysed and discussed.

    Feasibility study on RF energy harvesting in Malaysia
    Worlds are looking for a renewable energy to replace current energy sources. Solar and wind renewable energy has been deployed for some years as one renewable energy in a few countries in a large scale. For a small scale renewable energy, the development of electromagnetic energy harvesting has good potential as one of the sources of renewable energy since the electromagnetic energy is available all the time and everywhere, unlike other renewable energy (e.g., solar, wind, thermal and ocean wave). First step of feasibility of scavenging an RF energy is investigated through power density measurement in urban and semi-urban area. An average power of −13.33 dBm (UMTS band) measured in urban environment.

    Parametric analysis on the effect of open circuit stub resonator towards the performance of ultra-wideband stepped impedance low pass filter
    This paper presents the parametric studies on the effect of open circuit stub resonator (OCSR) towards the performance of Chebyshev Ultra-Wideband Stepped Impedance Low Pass Filter (SILPF). The SILPF is realized by loading OCSR to the high impedance line of the main design in order to overcome the drawback of conventional SILPF. The filter can produce sharp transition band and also wide stopband bandwidth. The design of SILPF is based on 5th order Chebyshev with 0.1 dB ripple. The filter is designed to operate at cut-off frequency 7.30 GHz. By investigating the effect of varying dimension of OSCR’s selected parameters, this paper is able to highlight the susceptibility of modifying cut-off frequency, fc and also transmission zeroes frequency, fz in order to be used for different applications. Thus, the combination of SILPF and OCSR and also rectangular patch combined feed-line structure exhibits wide rejection bandwidth better than −20 dB from 8.20 GHz up to 23.38 GHz. The filter design is simulated on Roger 4003 with relative dielectric constant, εr of 3.38 and also the substrate thickness, h of 0.508. This proposed simulated filter design has shown promising result and could be further analyzed for experimental works and fabrication. Therefore, the filter is beneficial for communication and radar systems particularly to avoid the interference and harmonic as well as the spurious response signals.
