A transition from coaxial-tocoplanar waveguide (CPW) for microwave breast cancer detection antennas is presented and design rules based on analytical calculations and simulated one using CST Microwave Studio 2014 simulator are presented. The measured results show that an operating frequency range extends from 1GHz to 15GHz is obtained. This paper discuss mathematical method of coplanar waveguid...

This paper presents a single-frequency reflective-mode phase-variation microwave sensor devoted to the dielectric characterization of materials. The device is implemented in coplanar waveguide (CPW) technology and consists two parts: (i) sensing region, step-impedance resonator (SIR) as termination CPW transmission line, (ii) design cascade high/low impedance quarter-wavelength inverters, used ...

With the tremendous advancements in wireless communications, there is an increasing demand for miniature, low-cost, easy-to-fabricate, multiband and wideband antennas for use in commercial communications systems. As a part of an effort to further enhance modern communications systems technology, researchers have been studying different approaches for creating novel and innovative antennas. The ...

We have studied the kinetic inductance fraction (ratio of kinetic inductance to total inductance) of superconducting coplanar waveguides (CPWs) by measuring the resonance frequency of CPW transmission line resonators. We describe a procedure for accurately determining the kinetic inductance of transmission line geometries with small kinetic inductance fractions. In this approach, we compare the...

in order to investigate the growth curve of broiler chickens at line level, respectively 154 and 144 birds from two paternal lines a and b of a commercial broiler line were used. line a were selected several generations for low feed conversion rate and line b were selected several generation for high body weight. body weight was measured at 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 and 54 days of...

[structure: see text]. DNA recognition elements have been attached to CpW(CO)3CH3 and CpW(CO)3Ph, which produce methyl and phenyl radicals that cleave DNA upon photolysis. The inclusion of binding moieties in 3 increases the efficiency but not the selectivity of strand scission over that seen in the simple unfunctionalized complex, while 11 cleaves preferentially at T sites within AT-rich tracts.

We investigate the dynamical Casimir effect in a coplanar waveguide (CPW) terminated by a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). Changing the magnetic flux through the SQUID parametrically modulates the boundary condition of the CPW, and thereby, its effective length. Effective boundary velocities comparable to the speed of light in the CPW result in broadband photon generation wh...

Microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits and RF distribution networks often require two transmission lines to cross over each other. In this paper, experimental measurements and three-dimensional (3-D) finite difference time domain analysis are used to thoroughly characterize coplanar waveguide (CPW) and finite ground coplanar waveguide (FGC) 90-degree crossover junctions. It is shown ...
