The feeding system of the array is an UWB four branch multiple segment power divider/combiner. Each branch has a three segments impedance transformer. Measurements show that the array works well within the band 3.1 to 10.6 with S11 lower than -10 dB. It is shown that the maximum gain varies with the operating frequency having a value of 8 to 12.3 dB and that it is higher than the gain of the single element.}, keywords = {antenna array, notch filters, ultra-wideband antennas}, doi = {10.1002/mop.31664}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/mop.31664}, author = {B T Ahmed and J L Masa-Campos and D Brande-Hern{\'a}ndez} } @article {13-WT-B-UHFPropagation, title = {UHF Band Short Range Propagation Model}, journal = {Wireless Personal Communications}, volume = {72}, number = {4}, year = {2013}, pages = {2913-2929}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11277-013-1188-7}, author = {B Taha-Ahmed} } @article {13-WT-B-UMTSFemtocells, title = {UMTS Multi-Service Uplink Capacity and Interference Statistics of Femtocells}, journal = {Wireless Personal Communications}, volume = {71}, number = {2}, year = {2013}, pages = {1057-1073}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11277-012-0860-7}, author = {B Taha-Ahmed and Marta Anaya de Paz} } @conference {12_IMS_Leal-SevillanoRuiz-CruzMontejo-GaraiEtAl_UpperFrequencyLimit, title = {Upper Frequency Limit of the Power Loss Method for the Estimation of Ohmic Losses in Hollow Metallic Waveguides}, booktitle = {2012 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest}, year = {2012}, month = {June}, pages = {1-4}, issn = {0149-645X}, author = {C A Leal-Sevillano and J A Ruiz-Cruz and Montejo-Garai, J R and Rebollar, J M} } @article {09-WT-B-HAPsUMTS-HSDPA, title = {UMTS-HSDPA in High Altitude Platforms (HAPs) communication with finite transmitted power and unequal cell{\textquoteright}s load}, journal = {Computer Communications}, volume = {32}, number = {5}, year = {2009}, pages = {828-833}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.comcom.2008.12.004}, author = {B Taha-Ahmed and Miguel Calvo-Ram{\'o}n} } @article {09-WT-B-WCDMAMicrocellswithAntennaDiversity, title = {Uplink multiservice capacity and interference statistics of WCDMA macrocells with antenna diversity reception in a multipath fading environment}, journal = {Computer Communications}, volume = {32}, number = {5}, year = {2009}, pages = {907-912}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.comcom.2008.12.026}, author = {B Taha-Ahmed and Miguel Calvo-Ram{\'o}n} } @article {08-WT-B-WCDMAMultiserviceMicrocellsUplinkCapacity, title = {Uplink Multi-service Capacity and Interference Statistic of City Streets WCDMA Cross-shaped Microcells with Imperfect Power Control and Finite Transmitted Power}, journal = {Wireless Personal Communications}, volume = {46}, number = {2}, year = {2008}, pages = {233-246}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11277-007-9419-4}, author = {B Taha-Ahmed} } @article {07_IEEEMWCL_Ruiz-CruzZhangZakiEtAl_Ultra-WidebandLTCCRidge, title = {Ultra-Wideband LTCC Ridge Waveguide Filters}, journal = {IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters}, volume = {17}, number = {2}, year = {2007}, month = {Feb.}, pages = {115-117}, abstract = {The design and experimental validation of an ultra-wideband (UWB) filter in a low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) is presented.

Filter coupling scheme and stripline transitions are developed for the UWB requirement. The mode-matching method is used in their design. The LTCC via effect and the measurement setup are also addressed.
