In this paper, we derive an integral equation describing the antenna-mode currents along a two-wire transmission line (TL). We show that when the cross-sectional dimensions of the line are electrically small, the integral equation reduces to a pair of TL-l ...
We present the development, characterization and in vivo validation of a novel drug eluting coating that has been applied to flexible neural probes. The coating consists of drug eluting nanoparticles loaded with an anti-inflammatory drug embedded in a biod ...
This paper proposes and studies new strategies for an increase of the energetic efficiency of an urban transportation network fed with catenaries. A simulation tool has been developed to determine the energy efficiency on the global transportation system ( ...
Piezoelectric ZnO coatings on optical fibers are of interest for active optical-fiber devices such as phase and wavelength modulators. Reactive magnetron sputtering has been used to prepare high-resistivity [001] radially oriented ZnO coatings on 85 mm lon ...
We present a theory for the EMC problem of electromagnetic field coupling to a long line with arbitrary terminations. The theory is applicable for the high-frequency plane wave electromagnetic field excitations, when the transmission line approximation is ...
A comprehensive study on the effect of a lossy ground on the induced voltages on overhead power lines by a nearby lightning strike is presented. The ground conductivity plays a role in both the evaluation of the lightning radiated fields and of the line pa ...
The power system has been used for communication purposes for many decades, although it was mainly the power utility companies that used low bit rates for control and monitoring purposes. In the last ten years, however, the deregulation of the power and te ...
In this study, we present an experimental validation of the transmission line representation of an elevated object struck by lightning. The experimental results are obtained using a reduced-scale model and injected signals with narrow pulse widths (down to ...
We present a simple technique to precisely and continuously adjust the resonance wavelengths of long-period cladding-mode-coupled gratings without strongly affecting the coupling strength. The main principle of this method is based on the strong dependence ...
Based on the transmission line approximation, three different equivalent formulations have been proposed for evaluating the interaction between an external electromagnetic field and a transmission line. The difference among these 'coupling' formulations, w ...
