Developing a quality management scheme for improving accessibility: implications for Scotland's national transport strategy. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
O'Dolan, C., & Carreno, M. (2012, May). Developing a quality management scheme for improving accessibility: implications for Scotland's national transport strategy. Paper presented at 8th Annual Scottish Transport Applications & Research Conference

Scotland’s National Transport Strategy recognises the numerous challenges
facing transport in Scotland in the years ahead. It highlights the need for an
efficient, integrated and reliable transport network that promotes health and
social inclusion... Read More about Developing a quality management scheme for improving accessibility: implications for Scotland's national transport strategy..

Sensor design for cancer tissue diagnostics (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L., Bilotti, F., & Vegni, L. (2012, April). Sensor design for cancer tissue diagnostics. Paper presented at SPIE Photonics Europe, Brussels, Belgium

In this paper, the design of a metamaterial-based sensor, operating in the mid-infrared frequency range, is proposed. The sensor consists of a planar array of complementary circular inclusions. The resonant frequencies of the sensor are designed to c... Read More about Sensor design for cancer tissue diagnostics.

A silicone host for Lumogen dyes (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hardy, D. A., Kerrouche, A., Roaf, S. C., & Richards., B. S. (2012). A silicone host for Lumogen dyes. In M. Hutchins, N. Pearsall, & A. Cole (Eds.), Proceedings of the 8th Photovoltaic Science, Applications and Technology Conference (PVSAT-8)

Altering the encapsulant colour in photovoltaic (PV) modules is a straightforward way of achieving greater colour range whilst minimising additional cost in PV systems. Lumogen fluorescent, organic dyes offer a way of adding colour to the encapsulant... Read More about A silicone host for Lumogen dyes.

A novel RFID tag antenna mountable on metallic objects (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alkhambashi, M., Hussaini, A., Abd-Alhameed, R., See, C., Noras, J., Child, M., & Rodriguez, J. (2012, March). A novel RFID tag antenna mountable on metallic objects. Presented at 2012 6th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP), Prague, Czech Republic

This paper investigates the design of UHF RFID tagging antennas mounted on, or in close proximity, with a conducting surface. Detailed simulation and analysis of the tag antenna was carried out for 900 MHz operation. The antenna dimensions were fixed...

Four element antenna array working at 2.4/5.2 GHz for wireless USB dongle applications (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abidin, Z., Abd-Alhameed, R., See, C., Ali, N., & Excell, P. (2012, March). Four element antenna array working at 2.4/5.2 GHz for wireless USB dongle applications. Presented at MELECON 2012 - 2012 16th IEEE Mediterranean Electrotechnical Conference, Yasmine Hammamet, Tunisia

A four-element antenna array for a USB dongle multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna working in dual 2.4/5.2 GHz frequency bands is presented. For achieving reasonably low mutual coupling and good return loss characteristics of the antenna arr...

Harmonic Rejection Triangle Patch Antenna (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bin-Melha, M., Abd-Alhameed, R., See, C., Usman, M., Elfergani, I., & Noras, J. (2012). Harmonic Rejection Triangle Patch Antenna.

A triangular patch harmonic-rejecting antenna at 0.7 GHz is proposed. Simulated results obtained using HFSS software show that a triangular antenna with shorting pin feed, and of compact size, exhibits high reflection coefficients at the second and t...

Two Miniaturized Printed Dual-Band Spiral Antenna Designs for Satellite Communication Systems (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bin-Melha, M. S., See, C. H., Abd-Alhameed, R. A., Alkambashi, M., Zhou, D., Jones, S. M., & Excell, P. (2012, March). Two Miniaturized Printed Dual-Band Spiral Antenna Designs for Satellite Communication Systems. Presented at 4th International ICST Conference on Personal Satellite Services, University of Bradford, Bradford, UK

Two novel reduced-size, printed spiral antennas are proposed for use in personal communications mobile terminals exploiting the “big low earth orbit” (Big-LEO) satellite system (uplink 1.61–1.63 GHz; downlink 2.48–2.5 GHz). The two proposed antenna g... Read More about Two Miniaturized Printed Dual-Band Spiral Antenna Designs for Satellite Communication Systems.
