Abstract The study presented aims to design a new patch antenna with improved bandwidth and effective rejection of spurious modes and harmonics. This design contains two λ/4 resonators that are closely connected to a circular ring patch. The proposed antenna exhibits wide bandwidth due to dual resonances created by means of a novel ring-shaped radiating […]

Abstract In a confirmatory investigation, researchers are mandated to employ covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM). A crucial assumption inherent in CB-SEM is the multivariate normality of the data. However, real-world data rarely conforms to a perfectly normal distribution. To address this, unweighted least squares (ULS) is specifically tailored for handling non-normally distributed data in SEM.
