Ensuring robust and tissue-independent operation of implantable, ingestible, and injectable antennas

In-body bioelectronics relies on antennas to interface with external on- or off-body equipment. In this paper, we address the impedance detuning of in-body antennas caused by nondeterministic electromagnetic properties of biological tissues. The impedance ...

Importance of Taking Into Account the Soil Stratification in Reproducing the Late-Time Features of Distant Fields Radiated by Lightning

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Qi Li, Mi Zhou

In this paper, we present an analysis of the propagation effect along a lossy ground on the characteristics of lightning-generated electric fields, using simultaneous observations of lightning currents and radiated fields measured at nine different distanc ...

Antennas for low-cost Ka-band ground terminal devices

Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva

The ever-growing demand for high-speed data links together with the increasing congestion in the traditional microwave spectrum are pushing for the exploitation of higher microwave and millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequencies, including the so-called Ka band. ...

Wideband H-plane dielectric horn antenna

Juan Ramon Mosig, Lei Wang, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Marcos Alvarez Folgueiras

By flaring a dielectric waveguide in the H-plane, an H-plane dielectric horn is formed, which could be directly excited by an SIW feed. However, matching and radiation performances are poor due to the thinness of the substrate. To improve these performance ...

Near-field investigation of Bloch surface wave based 2D optical components

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Elsie Barakat, Richa Dubey, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani

We study the Bloch surface wave based nano-thin 2D optical components. The 2D elements are fabricated on the dielectric multilayer platform which sustains the Bloch surface waves. Such a platform is considered as a novel foundation for planar integrated op ...

Pull-Out Behavior of CFRP Single-Strap Ground Anchors

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Haifeng Fan

Pull-out experiments were performed on four carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ground anchors simulating their applications in rock and soil. The CFRP tendons used in these anchors comprise a single-strap end on both ground and air sides. On the ground ...

Color changing effects with cross-halftone prints

Roger Hersch, Petar Pjanic

We propose new methods for creating color varying prints with classical cyan, magenta, yellow inks on a metallic specularly reflecting or on a white diffusely reflecting substrate. We use a special cross-line halftone with optimized surface coverages of th ...

Method for the electrical passivation of electrode arrays and/or conductive paths in general, and a method for producing stretchable electrode arrays and/or stretchable conductive paths in general

Stéphanie Lacour, Ivan Rusev Minev

A method produces a conductive paste comprising 15-20% by weight of PDMS and 80-85% by weight of metallic micro-nano particles, wherein the conductive paste is obtained by repeated addition of singular doses of PDMS to a heptane diluted PDMS low viscosity ...
