This paper presents the shear performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with Tsection. Different configurations of externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets were used to strengthen the specimens in shear. The experimental program consisted of six full-scale, simply supported beams. One beam was used as a bench mark and five beams were strengthened using different confi...

Studies conducted on design and implementation of RF front-end for UWB in the 3.1-10.6 GHz range have been based on the intrinsically wideband approach .These include distributed grounded gate and source LNA with gains of 6 and 14 dB and noise figures of 3 and 5.3 dB respectively, wideband matched LNA with a gain of 7.5 dB, DLL at 528 MHz and PLL at 3.432 GHz for realizing multi-band OFDM carri...
