2G/3G Serpentine Shape Inverted-F Antenna for Near Body Application

Anja Skrivervik, Nuno Miguel Faria Pires

In this contribution, we present a miniature antenna placed in a leg bracelet for body worn applications. It operates in both the 820-960 MHz and the 1.7-2.1 GHz bands. The radiating element, based on an inverted-F antenna, occupies a 37 mm × 37 mm area an ...

Overview on low temperature co-fired ceramic sensors

Thomas Maeder

Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC) is one of the microelectronic techniques. This technology was initially developed as an alternative to Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and classical thick-film technology, and it has found application in the fabricatio ...

Orthomode transducer for dual polarized substrate integrated circuits and antennas

Juan Ramon Mosig, Michael Mattes, Marc Esquius Morote

A complete dual polarized substrate integrated structure is presented. It comprises planar excitation schemes for both orthogonal TE10 and TE01 modes along with an orthomode transducer (OMT) to combine/split them. The whole structure is compact (only 2 lay ...

Hole and notch sensitivity of aluminium replicated foam

Andreas Mortensen, Andreas Rossoll, Etienne Combaz

The flow and failure behaviour of replicated pure aluminium foams in the presence of holes and notches is explored, varying the pore size and the notch depth or hole radius. Flat dog-bone tensile specimens containing a cylindrical hole, and cylindrical V-n ...

Polarization Reversal in BiFeO3 Capacitors: Complex Behavior Revealed by PFM

Nava Setter, Paul Muralt, Alexander Tagantsev, Igor Stolichnov, Enrico Colla, Monika Iwanowska

Polarization reversal in BiFeO3 (BFO) thin films in a parallel-plate capacitor configuration has been explored using piezo-force microscopy (PFM). Through-electrode mapping of the local piezoresponse allows for direct observation of the domain growth, whic ...

Full-field drift Hamiltonian particle orbits in 3D geometry

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, Stephan Brunner

A Hamiltonian/Lagrangian theory to describe guiding centre orbit drift motion which is canonical in the Boozer coordinate frame has been extended to include full electromagnetic perturbed fields in anisotropic pressure 3D equilibria with nested magnetic fl ...

Array of lenses with individually tunable focal-length based on transparent ion-implanted EAPs

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Muhamed Niklaus

We report on the fabrication and characterization of 2x2 arrays of mm-diameter PDMS lenses whose focal length can be electrically tuned. Dielectric elastomer actuators generally rely on carbon powder or carbon grease electrodes, which are not transparent, ...

Mechanical characterization of a dielectric elastomer microactuator with ion-implanted electrodes

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Muhamed Niklaus

We report on the mechanical characterization and modeling of a non-prestretched dielectric elastomer diaphragm microactuator with ion-implanted electrodes under the influence of a distributed load (pressure). Thin polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) membranes (30 u ...

Lightning return stroke current radiation in presence of a conducting ground: 2. Validity assessment of simplified approaches

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

In this paper, the developed formulation, which we shall call the “reference” one, is used to assess the validity of the most popular simplified approach for the calculation of the lightning electromagnetic field over a conducting earth, namely, the Cooray ...
