A Compact Planar Ultra-Wideband Array Antenna by Junli Zhu, Mengfei Chen, Ziting Li, Jingping Liu

“…The quick development of these antennas is due to the wide bandwidth requirements of pulse radar, ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic compatibility, spaceborne communication systems, stealth target detection, and more. Aiming to address the defects of existing UWB antennas, which often have narrow bandwidth and low gain, a planar ultra-wideband microstrip array antenna was designed to achieve good ultra-wideband characteristics and effectively improve the gain of the antenna. …”

Old History of Culture and New Cultural History by Zenonas Norkus

“…This idea of culture invites a historian to consider culture not as a specific set of social phenomena that are concentrated in the particular "cultural institutions" or segment of society, but as an aspect which can be detected in any social phenomena. This idea of culture opens the prospect of the cultural history of politics, cultural history of economy, and so on. …”
