Integrated power transistor in 0.18 lm CMOS technology for RF system-on-chip applications. IEEE Trans Microwave Theory Tech 2002;50(Decemb...

This paper presents a review on recent trends and challenges in the development of power dividing components. Over these years, power dividers have been changing their structures and technology in order to be compatible with the newer changes adopted in designing of communication systems. From being operated as a single-frequency component to being flexible with dual-frequency bands, Wilkinson ...

in this paper, a new combined power and refrigeration cycle is proposed, which combines the rankin power cycle and the ejector refrigeration cycle. this combined cycle produces both power output and refrigeration output simultaneously. this cycle is driven by the flue gas of gas turbines, industrial waste heats, solar energy and geothermal energy. an exergy analysis is performed to guide the th...

Many instruments can be used to measure radio frequency (RF) and microwave power. The most accurate one is a power sensor with a meter. The accuracy of RF and microwave power measurement depends on the accuracy of power sensor calibration. This chapter provides calibration methods of RF and microwave power sensor with system setup, modeling, equations, and analyses in different representations,...

We investigated the effects of microwave irradiation under normothermic conditions on cultured cells. For this study, we developed an irradiation system constituted with semiconductor microwave oscillator (2.45 GHz) and thermos-regulatory applicator, which could irradiate microwaves at varied output powers to maintain the temperature of cultured cells at 37 °C. Seven out of eight types of cultu...

today, there is an increasing interest in the use of metal nanoparticles in health sciences. amongst all nanoparticles, the gold nanoparticles have been known to kill the cancer cells under hyperthermic condition by near-infrared frequency electromagnetic waves. on the other hand, although there are different physiochemical methods for disinfection of microbial pollution, however applications o...

Background: In this research, the decomposition of Aroclor 1254, including 20 kinds of poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), in real waste transformer oil in the presence of PEG1000, NaOH, zero valent iron and H2O by microwave (MW) irradiation was studied. Methods: Central composites design (CCD) method was carried out for experimental design. The effects of microwave power levels (200- 1000 W), ...
