Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Hierarchical Diff-EDF Schedulability over Heterogeneous Real-Time Packet NetworksMoutaz Saleh, Zulaiha Ali OthmanPacket networks are currently enabling the integration of traffic with a wide range of characteristics that extend from video traffic with stringent QoS requirements to the best-effort traffic requiring no guarantees. QoS guarantees can be provided in conventional packet networks by the use of proper packet scheduling algorithms. As a computer revolution, many scheduling algorithms have been proposed to provide … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,530 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Symmetrical Microstrip Bandpass Filter for S-Band Frequency RangeMohd Fadzil Ain, Mandeep Singh Jit Singh, Prabhu, Syed Idris Syed HassanA new type of microstrip bandpass filter is presented with a center frequency operation at 2.5GHz which lies in the S-band frequency range. The filter is designed to be much smaller compared to the same type of parallel-coupled bandpass filter. The simulation results are excellent and the filter is suitable for integration within various microwave subsystems. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,984 accessesView PDFCite
