In this paper, by change of integration path in complex spectrum domain and by defining input admittance as the ratio of complex radiated power to amplitude of square of voltage across the gap, new expressions of admittance (valid for all frequencies) of infinitely long cylindrical antenna with and ...

The tapered slot antenna, such as Vivaldi, has been widely used due to its ultra-wideband, high gain, simple feed structure, and easy fabrication. However, there is no rigorous analytical theory for this type of antenna. This paper analyzed the metal parts of a tapered slot antenna in a conical coor...

Energy saving is the most important issue in research and development for wireless sensor networks. A power control mechanism can reduce the power consumption of the whole network. Because the character of wireless sensor networks is restrictive energy, this paper proposes a distributed power contro...

In Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), some routing algorithms ignore that most nodes are selfish, i.e., nodes are willing to use their own resources to forward messages to nodes with whom they have a relationship. In view of this phenomenon, we propose a routing algorithm based on Geographic Informatio...
