We derive the design formulas for novel multilayer bandpass filters in which every dielectric layer (resonator) is separated from the adjacent layer or external medium by a grating of strip conductors. Every grating acts as a semi-reflecting mirror. Such novel filters have wide stop bands compared to conventional filters with multilayer dielectric mirrors between resonators at the same passband width. The parameters of the lowpass, lumped-element prototype filter, as well as the theory of resonator-coupling coefficients, are considered in our approach. The computed frequency response of the fifth-order Chebyshev filter that was synthesized using the proposed formulas is also presented.

In this Letter, we propose and experimentally validate a high-fidelity and adaptive forward-phase-based vibration sensing using a Wiener filter (WF). In commercial coherent digital subcarrier multiplexing (DSCM) systems under external cavity lasers (ECLs), frequency-domain pilot tones (FPTs) in subcarrier intervals are employed for dynamic frequency offset estimation (FOE), carrier phase estimation (CPE), and polarization demultiplexing. The phase estimated by the CPE module is processed with the WF to achieve high-fidelity extraction of the vibration-induced phase.

This work presents the design of a novel fully canonical triple-mode filter with source-load coupling for 5G applications, exploiting its very compact size for the FR1 band. The design is carried out using circular waveguide technology to attain power handling and low insertion losses. The fully canonical topology allows for increasing the selectivity of the filter since the number of finite transmission zeros is equal to the order of the filter.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to measure the effects of frequency spacing (i.e., F2 minus F1) on spectral integration for vowel perception in simulated bilateral electric-acoustic stimulation (BiEAS), electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS), and bimodal hearing.

Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) can be performed using one-shot cryoballoon ablation (cryo) or point-by-point radiofrequency ablation (RF). This study compares the changes in P-wave parameters between both ablation methods.
Methods: This single-centre retrospective study included contact force RF and second-generation cryo for PAF between 2018 and 2019.

Unlabelled: Fetal phonocardiography is a well-known auscultation technique for evaluation of fetal health. However, murmurs that are synchronous with the maternal heartbeat can often be heard while listening to fetal heart sounds. Maternal placental murmurs (MPM) could be used to detect maternal cardiovascular and placental abnormalities, but the recorded MPMs are often contaminated by ambient interference and noise.
