The authors present a review on the recent approaches proposed to implement transversal RF filters. Different tunable transversal filters consisting of wavelength tunable optical taps and those employing the tunability of dispersive devices are presented showing their high-performance characteristics. A comprehensive review of the fundamentals and a discussion on the main limitation of these st...

We propose an approach that permits to avoid instability phenomena for the nonlinear Schrödinger equations. We show that by approximating the solution in a suitable way, relying on a frequency cut-off, global well-posedness is obtained in any Sobolev space with nonnegative regularity. The error between the exact solution and its approximation can be measured according to the regularity of the e...

We present a general finite element linearized Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (LLGE) solver for magnetic systems under weak time-harmonic excitation field. The LLGE is obtained by assuming small deviation around the equilibrium state of system. Inserting such expansion into and keeping only first order terms gives LLGE, which frequency domain solution complex magnetization amplitudes an exter...

This paper presents a study on the frequency response of a capacitive micro-beam resonator under various applied stresses. The governing equation whose solution holds the answer to all our questions about the mechanical behavior is the nonlinear electrostatic equation. Due to the nonlinearity and complexity of the derived equation analytical solution are not generally available; therefore, the ...
