we propose and demonstrate a bandpass microwave photonic filter (MPF) with ultrahigh stopband attenuation and skirt selectivity based on a simple signal cancellation technique. By injecting two phase modulated signals located on opposite sides of two resonant gain peaks of a Fabry-Pérot semiconductor optical amplifier (FP-SOA), two microwave frequency responses can be generated by the two input signals, respectively. The two frequency responses will add together within the passband but cancel each other out within the stopband, thus generating a MPF with simultaneous ultrahigh stopband attenuation and skirt selectivity. In the experiment the obtained MPF exhibits single passband in the range from 0 to 18 GHz and is tunable from 4 to 16 GHz by adjusting the laser wavelengths. During the tuning process the maximum stopband attenuation is 76.3 dB and the minimum 30-dB to 3-dB bandwidth shape factor is 3.5.

A compact simple structure bandpass filter based on terminated three coupled line structures with high selectivity is introduced through odd and even-mode analysis. The proposed filter consists of three coupled lines loaded by open and short circuit stubs. The parallel-coupled lines structure is used to obtain high selectivity with transmission zeros near the passband.

A dual-band (K-/Ka-band) antenna array is presented. An ultra-wideband antenna element in the shape of a double-ridged waveguide is used as a radiation slot, and a novel dual-periodic ridge gap waveguide (RGW) with an interdigital-pin bed of nails (serving as a filter) is used to realize dual-band operation. By periodically arranging the pins of two different heights in two dimensions, the proposed RGW with interdigital-pin bed of nails is able to realize and flexibly adjust two passbands.

Electrical cables, as the industry's blood vessels and nervous system, require evolving distributed filtering for complex electromagnetic environment adaptability. This article introduces a filter cable design featuring an insulated cylinder coated with a defected conductor transmission structure (DCTS). The DCTS, with a well-designed etched pattern, functions as a boundary condition for transmitting specific frequency electromagnetic waves, similar to a lumped filter circuit.

The design of optimum filters constitutes a fundamental aspect within the realm of signal processing applications. The process entails the calculation of ideal coefficients for a filter in order to get a passband with a flat response and an unlimited level of attenuation in the stopband. The objective of this work is to solve the FIR filter design problem and to compare the optimal solutions obtained from evolutionary algorithms.

EEG is the most common test for diagnosing a seizure, where it presents information about the electrical activity of the brain. Automatic Seizure detection is one of the challenging tasks due to limitations of conventional methods with regard to inefficient feature selection, increased computational complexity and time and less accuracy. The situation calls for a practical framework to achieve better performance for detecting the seizure effectively.
