A research paper that present by Professor Salah I. Yahya from the Department of Software Engineering, Faculty of Engineering at Koya University  in the 2019 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC) that held on 10-13 December 2019, has been deposited to the IEEE Xplore . The paper entitled "A Novel Harmonic Attenuator Quad-Channel Microstrip Diplexer for Multi-Service Communication Systems," 

Professor Salah I. Yahya from the Department of Software Engineering, Faculty of Engineering at Koya University with a research group from Iran, Vietnam and Malaysia published a research article entitled “Design of a low-loss microstrip diplexer with a compact size based on coupled meandrous open-loop resonators” in the Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing Journal. The paper presents design and fabrication of a novel microstrip diplexer. It has two quite close channels at 1.67 GHz and 1.88 GHz make it suitable for FDD schemes and GSM applications.

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, all the Universities and institutions in Iraq and the whole world are closed now. The Study may be pursued in April, as the KRG and KOU announced, but we should have our plan B if the situation will be worse and the Universities will remain closed till June or even later. KOU started the online e-lecturing program to be in touch with their students and the students can take their lectures, assignements online while they are staying at home.
