A wide-band multiport planar power-divider design using matchedsectorial components in radial arrangement

This paper proposes a new multiport planar power-divider design by radially combining the sectorial components and the input and output matching networks. This design can achieve good input match over a wide bandwidth without resorting to transformer sections of high-impedance lines, which are difficult to realize. This approach is applied to the design of 4-and 14-way center-fed power dividers in microstrip structures with good input match (voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) <1.5) over a bandwidth of 30% and 15%, respectively. The return loss of output ports and the isolation among them in the 14-way divider are less than -13 dB. A simple analysis method using the radial transmission-line theory to model the microstrip sectorial components is employed to characterize the power dividers. The calculated scattering parameters are found to be in good agreement with the measured data     

Wide-range tunable dual-wavelength semiconductor laser usingasymmetric dual quantum wells

Using asymmetric dual quantum wells for the laser material, the semiconductor laser is able to operate at dual wavelengths with an extremely wide tuning range. The spectral spacing could be tuned to as large as 55.7 mn (25 THz). With the spectral spacing fixed, the two wavelengths could also be simultaneously tuned for a range as wide as 34.7 nm. In addition, with one wavelength fixed, the other one could be separately tuned. The experiments indicate that the two wavelengths can be almost randomly selected within a large spectral range over 30 nm     

Small slot-coupled circularly-polarised microstrip antenna withmodified cross-slot and bent tuning-stub

A novel design of small slot-coupled circularly-polarised circular microstrip antenna with a modified cross-slot cut in the patch and a bent tuning-stub aligned along the patch boundary is proposed and experimentally studied. Results show that, for fixed circular polarisation (CP) operation, the antenna proposed can have an antenna size reduction of ~80%, as compared to a regular-size CP design. The significant size reduction of the proposed antenna is due to the novel modified cross-slot cut in the patch, and CP operation is obtained using a bent tuning-stub incorporating a properly oriented coupling-slot in the ground plane of the microstrip feed line     

Post-stress interface trap generation induced by oxide-field stresswith FN injection

Interface trap generation in nMOS transistors during both stressing and post-stress periods under the conditions of oxide field (dynamic and dc) stress with FN injection is investigated with charge pumping technique. In contrast to the post-stress interface trap generation induced by hot carrier stress which is a logarithmical function of post-stress time, the post-stress interface trap generation induced by oxide-field stress with FN injection first increases with post-stress time but then becomes saturated. The mechanisms for the interface trap generation in both stressing and post-stress periods are described     

Irregular sampling theorems for wavelet subspaces

From the Paley-Wiener 1/4-theorem, the finite energy signal f(t) can be reconstructed from its irregularly sampled values f(k+δ_κ) if f(t) is band-limited and sup_κ|δ_κ|<1/4. We consider the signals in wavelet subspaces and wish to recover the signals from its irregular samples by using scaling functions. Then the method of estimating the upper bound of sup_κ|δ_κ | such that the irregularly sampled signals can be recovered is very important. Following the work done by Liu and Walter (see J. Fourier Anal. Appl., vol.2, no.2, p.181-9, 1995), we present an algorithm which can estimate a proper upper bound of sup_κ |δ_κ|. Compared to Paley-Wiener 1/4-theorem, this theorem can relax the upper bound for sampling in some wavelet subspaces     

Single-feed dual-frequency rectangular microstrip antenna withsquare slot

By cutting a square slot at the centre of a rectangular microstrip patch, both compactness and dual-frequency operation can be achieved. Several designs have been implemented. From the experimental results obtained, the required antenna size using the proposed design method can be reduced by ~17% compared to that of the conventional design method using a simple patch without the slot. Typical experimental results are presented and discussed

Spectroscopic detection of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in ambient air was performed using a continuous-wave mid-infrared spectrometer based on difference-frequency generation in an AgGaS₂ crystal. Significant improvement in nonlinear optical frequency conversion efficiency was achieved by Gaussian beam optical design consideration. CO₂ concentration was determined from direct-absorption spectral measurement.
