Non-invasive microwave hyperthermia treatment of breast cancer is investigated using three-dimensional (3D) numerical breast phantoms with anatomical and dielectric-properties realism. 3D electromagnetic and thermal finite-difference time-domain simulations are used to evaluate the focusing and selective heating efficacy in four numerical breast phantoms with different breast tissue densities. ...

The microwave band fixed wireless access (FWA) systems are expected to operate in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments in order to loosen the restrictions on antenna installation at a subscriber station (SS). In addition, it is planning to adopt array antenna at a SS in the next generation FWA. In this case, Direction of arrival (DOA) is a one of the important propagation parameters. We carrie...

In this paper, the research advances in SIW-like (Substrate Integrated Waveguide-like) guided wave structures and their applications in the State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves of China is reviewed. Our work is concerned with the investigations on the propagation characteristics of SIW, half-mode SIW (HMSIW) and the folded HMSIW (FHMSIW) as well as their applications in microwave and millim...

We propose a procedure for transferring the state a microwave qubit via a transmission line from one resonator to another resonator, with a theoretical efficiency arbitrarily close to 100%. The emission and capture of the microwave energy is performed using tunable couplers, whose transmission coefficients vary in time. Using the superconducting phase qubit technology and tunable couplers with ...

We propose a frequency selective duplexer using microwave photonic band gap ~PBG! structures. It uses two different PBGs to control the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the microwave region. In this structure, an additional narrow reflection band appears in the transmission spectrum when the PBG structure is not properly located relative to the T junction. By considering multiple reflect...

High-repetition-rate optical frequency combs can act as broadband photonic mixers and downconvert a microwave signal to an intermediate frequency (IF) band so that it becomes accessible with high-speed electronics. In this Letter, we show that with line-by-line pulse shaping and dispersive propagation, the photonic mixer can simultaneously perform programmable multitap complex-coefficient-filte...

Microstrip antennas are one of the most widely used types of antennas in the microwave frequency range, and they are often used in the millimeter-wave frequency range. Actually as the demand for high data rates grows and microwave frequency bands become congested, the millimeter-wave spectrum is becoming increasingly attractive for emerging wireless applications. The abundance of bandwidth and ...

The CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN was constructed by the CTF3 collaboration to study the feasibility of the concepts for a compact linear collider. The test beam line (TBL) recently added to the CTF3 machine was designed to study the CLIC decelerator beam dynamics and 12 GHz power production. The beam line consists of a FODO lattice with high precision BPM’s and quadrupoles on movers for pr...
