Wide-stopband and compact microstrip bandpass filters (BPFs) are proposed using various
dissimilar quarter-wavelength (/spl lambda//4) stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) for …

Novel balanced coupled-line bandpass filters, using suitable balanced coupled-line sections
and quarter-wavelength resonators, are proposed. For design purposes, the differential- …

Compact ultra-wideband bandpass filters are proposed based on the composite microstrip-coplanar-waveguide
(CPW) structure. In this study, the microstrip-CPW transitions and the …

Objective: To evaluate the changes in anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP)
and rheumatoid factor (RF) following etanercept treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis…

A novel fourth-order balanced bandpass filter is proposed based on the half-wavelength (lambda/2)
stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs). By properly adjusting the parameters of each …

Novel fourth-order balanced coupled-resonator bandpass filters are proposed using
suitably designed half-wavelength (lambda/2) multisection resonators for common-mode …

OBJECTIVES:: To determine the factors associated with radiographic spinal involvement
and hip involvement in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and assess the influence of the damage …

This paper presents the design and results of a low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC)
module for tri-band general packet radio service (GPRS) mobile applications. The proposed …

Objective. The aim of our study was to compare the clinical, functional, and radiographic
outcomes at different ages of onset in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods. A total …

Novel balanced-to-unbalanced (balun) bandpass filters are presented and carefully examined.
By properly converting a symmetric four-port balanced-to-balanced bandpass filter to a …
