We have realized millimeter-size rf inductors on silicon using a polyimide mold–copper electroplating coil technology. Subsequently, the coils are assembled with magnetic cover plates of commercially available bulk Ni–Zn ferrites of high resistivity. Using ...
Theoretical and experimental work on the vertical position control system on the COMPASS-D tokamak is described. An analog proportional + derivative (P + D) system is currently used, and two important sources of disturbance are observed in the system. One ...
We report on the experimental results of a dual-stage amplifier combining a Nd-doped double-clad fiber and a Nd-doped YAG crystal. We obtained up to 3.5-W single-mode single-frequency output power with 28-dB gain. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the ...
In the first part of this paper, the status of the 140-GHz continuously operated gyrotrons with an output power of I MW for the stellarator Wendelstein 7-X will be described. With the first series tube, an output power of 1000 kW has been achieved in short ...
An idea as well as a CMOS implementation of the novel multi-channel readout front-end ASIC for nuclear X-ray imaging system has been presented in the paper. The circuit has been designed in an example configuration with eight equal channels, but the modula ...
This paper reports on an inductor fabrication method capable to deliver high quality factor (Q) and high self-resonance frequency (SRF) devices using quartz insulating substrates and thick high-conductivity copper lines. Inductors are key devices in RF cir ...
A fast modulator for a dynamic supply linear RF amplifier has been integrated in a 0.35-μm CMOS technology. The use of this modulator with an external linear power amplifier (PA) allows to maintain its efficiency at a higher level than it would with the sa ...
The paper presents the programmable multiphase clock generator for switched-capacitor finite impulse response (SC FIR) circular memory filters. The proposed programmable clock circuit enables easy division of such kind of filters into different orders smal ...
Conventional RF power amplifiers usually give their maximum efficiency near the maximum output power level. When the output power decreases, the efficiency drops sharply. Deep class AB or B PAs improve their efficiency by a self-adaptation of the current d ...
For the development of a 1 MW, 140 GHz gyrotron for CW operation which will be installed at the stellarator facility Wendelstein 7-X at IPP Greifswald, a collaboration between different European research institutes and an industrial company has been establ ...
