In this paper, we present an alternative approach to addressing the problem of designing a number of practical 'microwave' devices such as blankets serving as absorbers for radar targets, flat lenses and reflectarrays.

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...

Objective To determine the relative effectiveness of second generation ablation techniques in the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding. Design Network meta-analysis on the primary outcome measures of amenorrhoea, heavy bleeding, and patients’ dissatisfaction with treatment. Data sources Nineteen randomised controlled trials (involving 3287 women) were identified through electronic searches of ...

Introduction: The enormous growth of wireless and portable applications has led to strong demands for high-performance monolithic low-cost passive components in RF and microwave integrated circuits (ICs). However, some traditional microwave passive components such as transmission lines and filters are difficult to integrate on the same chip with the RF and microwave circuits owing to the high s...
