Because microwave products in the consumer electronics market are continuous developing, device and component manufacturers have to seek new advanced integration, packaging and interconnection technologies, as size, cost and performance are critical factors for the success of a microwave product. One of the most promising integration technologies is the multilayer low temperature co-fired ceram...

High capacity tensiometers (HCT) are the only type of sensors in existence that can measure soil matric suction directly and regarded to be most accurate reliable technique for study evolution unsaturated soils. The measurement with HCTs is possible due their design, composed ceramic filter a specific air entry value (AEV), small water reservoir, pressure transducer. Where, AEV filter, more pre...

Low-cost options for the treatment of drinking water at the household level are being explored by the Cambodian government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in Cambodia, where many lack access to improved drinking water sources and diarrhoeal diseases are the most prevalent cause of death in children under 5 years of age. The ceramic water purifier (CWP), a locally produced, low...

This article presents the analysis of ultra wide band (UWB) filter designed using a symmetrical three parallel coupled line resonator in low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) medium. The ground plane with an aperture incorporated in it improves the coupling. Based on circuit models, the designed UWB filter has been analyzed, and the results have been confirmed by experiments. The filter has b...

the conditions for the refinement of clarified sugarcane juice, including temperature (50o, 60o and 70oc) and pressure (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 bars) by micro-filtration membrane technology were investigated. the raw sugarcane juice was initially pre-filtrated with lime and then the juice obtained (clarified juice) processed using a ceramic micro-filter mem-brane (0.2 micrometer). the characteristics...

A novel implementation and associated design formula for a compact low-temperature cofired ceramics (LTCC) lumped-element second-order bandpass filter are proposed in this paper. The filter schematic that provides two finite transmission zeros is well known. It is shown in the paper that the filter schematic is built on a pair of conventional inductive coupled resonator tanks with a feedback ca...
