Feasibility Study of Shaped Electrode The objective of this project was a feasibility study of a novel, large-area plasma reactor for thin film production, based on a shaped electrode technique ("lens") to compensate the standing wave non-uniformity. Cyli ...
The aim of this paper is to present an experimental validation of a frequency- domain approach to the solution of the lightning electromagnetic field-to- buried cable coupling equations. The coupling to the inner conductor is evaluated using the concept of ...
This paper describes the simulation, design, realization, and experimental test of a tapered transmission line (TL) for adapting a broad-band impulse generator to a radiating antenna, for a frequency range of 50 MHz-1 GHz. Two different taper geometries ar ...
The arterial system can be modelled by means of distributed analogs and by lumped parameter representations, such as the Windkessel. The distributed models, together with biological data, lead to the explanation of arterial function in terms of pressure an ...
The aim of this work was to analyze the global behavior of a loudspeaker exciting a room in the frequency band of its first modes, for the purpose of active control applications. First, the loudspeaker in free field was studied. The characterization of a l ...
This work describes a method for tracking the dynamics of electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive MEMS structures during ESD events, as well as a model for determining the reduced combdrive snap-in voltage under vibration and shock. We describe our ESD tes ...

We present a review of theoretical methods to compute lightning-induced currents and voltages on buried cables. The evaluation of such induced disturbances requires the calculation of the electric field produced by lightning along the cable path. We show t ...
We report on the microfabrication and testing of a chip- scale plasma light source. The device consists of a stack of three anodically bonded Pyrex wafers, which hermetically enclose a gas-filled cavity containing interdigitated Aluminum electrodes. When t ...
A very wideband slot antenna with reconfigurable stopband is presented. The reconfiguration is achieved by modifying the effective length of an embedded stopbandresonator by means of three pairs of PIN diodes. Four different operative states—three of them ...
A new cytological tool, based on the micro Coulter particle counter (CPC) principle, aimed at diagnostic applications for cell counting and separation in haematology, oncology or toxicology is described. The device measures the spectral impedance of indivi ...
