Reference-Incorporating Microwave Resonator-Based Sensors for Biological Sensing Applications

Use of microwave resonator-based sensors is a relatively new approach for the detection of biological reagents. Sensing mechanism is based on the tracking of the resonant frequency on electromagnetic resonator. Resonant frequency depends on structure geometry and material but is also affected by secondary changes in environment. Addition of a reference resonator to suppress these effects is pro...

Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Technology for Space Communications Applications

Broadband Microwave Integrated Circuits for Voltage Standard Applications

This thesis addresses integrated circuit component, packaging, and microwave design for both AC and DC Josephson voltage standard (JVS) systems. The components developed in this work combine techniques from both the distributed and lumped-element microwave design in the frequency range 0–40 GHz. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) JVS systems rely on 10 000 to 300 000 micr...

Visible Spectrum Optical Communication and Distance Sensing for Underwater Applications

To establish an underwater communication system for a swarm of submersibles, we developed an optical communication transceiver, small in size, combining the IrDA physical layer with 3 Watt high power light emitting diodes, emitting light in the green and blue part of the visible spectrum. This paper presents experimental results in air and under water. Furthermore, we show how this digital comm...
