To test the radiation tolerance of full-size detectors, four large-area AC-coupled single-sided silicon microstrip detectors were fabricated. The detectors had a size of 6 cm×3.4 cm and were made out of a 300 μm thick, high-resistivity, n-type silicon, simulating the p-side of the double-sided silicon microstrip detectors being developed. The AC coupling layer had either a single layer of SiO2 ...

The effect of single and double-layer anti-reflective coatings on efficiency enhancement of silicon solar cells was investigated. The reflectance of different anti-reflection structures were calculated using the transfer matrix method and then to predict the performance of solar cells coated by these structures, the weighted average reflectance curves were used as an input of a PC1D simulation....

Regularly shaped compact microstrip antennas have a small size but their gain is insufficient for most applications. Therefore, a ring-shaped compact microstrip reflectarray with microstrip antenna feed has been proposed. Different configurations, namely, 1 × 3, 3 × 1, plus-shaped and 3 × 3 have been analyzed. The 3 × 3 configuration yields an optimum gain of 10. 8 dBi and a narrow beamwidth of...

Anticipating the requirement for highly radiation-tolerant silicon microstrip sensors suitable for the SLHC application, we have fabricated n-in-p microstrip sensors in p-FZ and p-MCZ industrial wafers which we then irradiated with 70MeV protons. Studies were made of the leakage current, onset of microdischarge, body capacitance, charge collection efficiency, and n-strip isolation at the fluenc...

An efficient iterative method is presented for the fast analysis of cylindrically conformal microstrip structures. Based on the transmission line modeling (TLM) method and the fast modal transform (FMT) theory, this technique accelerates the process of the calculation by introducing the concept of the transverse electromagnetic waves instead of the transverse fields considered in the traditiona...

these days, most of the marine structures which are constructed and used in persian gulf, are made of st37 steel. due to oil and gas sources excavated, the number of these structures is constantly increasing. on the other hand, these types of structures are exposed to corrosive environments and it is seriously critical for these structures to be used for many years. coal tar epoxy (trade name),...

A 6 : 1 unequal Wilkinson power divider that combines the advantages of a coplanar waveguide with an electromagnetic bandgap (EBG CPW) and microstrip line structures suitable for a PCB circuit design is proposed. The highly characteristic impedance transmission line (TL) is realized by employing the proposed EBG CPW structure, which is difficultly achieved using the conventional microstrip line...
