Curved cone corrugated ground plane conical antenna has been designed and analyzed using Finite Element Method. In this paper, we introduce a novel Curved cone corrugated ground plane conical antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The antenna is composed of curved cone with ... En savoir plus

The plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process with a linear plasma source and the frequency range up to 140 MHz developed by Dresden University of Technology and FAP GmbH Dresden enables a fabrication of thin film silicon layers at very high deposition rates. However, an increase ... En savoir plus

The effect of metallization thickness on planar transmission lines plays an essential role in microwave integrated circuits and thin film technology, especially in the propagation characterization and the electric field distribution in the structures. The objective of this paper is to ... En savoir plus

The NovaSure Endometrial Ablation System®{;/sup} is designed to remove the endometrial lining in the uterine cavity of women who suffer from menorrhagia. The NovaSure disposable device consists of a 2-pole, 4 electrode array that is inserted into the uterine cavity and deployed. We have ... En savoir plus

Electric vehicles (EVs) powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been developed as a replacement for the conventional internal-combustion-engine automobiles. Research has been yielding a stream of improvements to the traditional LIB technology, focusing on energy and ... En savoir plus

Fault Current Limiters (FCLs) are expected to play an important role in the protection of future power systems due to the rising levels of the short-circuit currents. The inductive FCLs, comprising magnetic cores and one or more dc and ac windings, are particularly interesting because ... En savoir plus

We consider a 3D boundary value problem arising in electrostatics. The potential is stimulated by current sources placed on a cross-section S of the domain. In many applications it is sufficient to know the potential in S. So, one is interested in an appropriate 2D model taking into ... En savoir plus

Loudspeaker simulation is used to inform the designer as to the performance of a design. In recent years the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been used to model the mechanical and acoustical attributes of a loudspeaker with varying success. This paper shows how a model that incorporates ... En savoir plus

A scheme for inductive wireless powering and readout of passive LC sensor is presented. The sensor’s inductor is designed as a planar square coil and is used as the power receiving component. The capacitor is connected directly to the inductor and it was designed as an interdigital ... En savoir plus

An Archimedean Spiral antenna is the common frequency independent antenna which have very large bandwidth. Archimedean Spiral antenna are circularly polarized and typically have radiation patterns with peaks perpendicular to the plane of the spiral. Micro-machining techniques improves ... En savoir plus
