To facilitate the construction of the high-power magnetron, the entire output section, including the quarter wave transformer and window, has been redesigned. The new design is based on standard S band waveguide. The quarter wave transformer was changed to increase the external loading of the tube. Cold test measurements on a tube with the redesigned output section give an external Q of 230. Wo...

We present the syntax and rules of deduction of QPEL (Quantum Program and Effect Language), a language for describing both quantum programs, and properties of quantum programs — effects on the appropriate Hilbert space. We show how semantics may be given in terms of state-and-effect triangles, a categorical setting that allows semantics in terms of Hilbert spaces, C∗-algebras, and other categor...

Due to conformal capability, research on transmission lines has received much attention lately. Many studies have been reported in the last decade in which transmission lines have been analyzed extensively using various techniques. It is well known that transmission lines are used for transmission of information, but in this case the main aim is to deliver information from generator to receiver...

We propose an exact synthesis method which allows the design of dual-band transformers with an arbitrary even number of uniform sections giving equi-ripple impedance matching in two separate bands centered at two arbitrary frequencies. This method is a generalization of the exact Collin-Riblet synthesis of Chebyshev single-band transformers. As compared to a single-band Collin-Riblet transforme...

s may be submitted for plenary as well as concurrent sessions. Anyone interested in organising a session should propose topics, objectives, possible speakers to the Programme Chairman well in advance of the deadline for submission of abstracts. Abstracts should be between 300 and 500 words, giving an overview of the topic to be covered. Full details, including the title of the paper, name of th...

In a modest patch of land in southwest London, it would be hard to conceive a greater richness of biological diversity, history and research activity. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site containing several top-rated architecturally distinguished buildings, a world-leading collection of growing plant species, one of the finest collections of archival botanical material in the world and documents fro...
