Advanced PSA Bipolar Transistors for Wireless Applications: Measurements of Scattering Parameters and Noise Figure

1994

A complete investigation on the performance of a series of double polysilicon self-aligned (PSA) bipolar transistors in terms of scattering parameters and noise figure is here reported. The devices have been characterized over the 1-4 GHz frequency range in several bias conditions to the aim of assessing the optimum bias values for the best trade-off between noise and gain performance. This is the first part of an extensive investigation currently performed on 5 families of PSA devices having different emitter configuration and size which have been manufactured by SGS-Thomson to undergo a comparative analysis on the global transistor performance.

A Method for Accurate Measurements of Optimum Noise Parameters of Microwave Transistors

1985

A method for measuring losses of the tuner network used as noise source admittance transformer in transistor noise parameter test-set is presented. Since the method is based on noise figure measurements, tuner losses can be determined on-line while performing measurements for determining transistor noise parameters. As experimental verifications the optimum noise parameters of a GaAs FET in the 4 - 12 GHz frequency range, measured through a computer-assisted measuring system, are reported.

Comparison between two measuring methods for complete characterization of low-noise HEMTs at microwaves

1996

The good performances of a set-up for the complete characterization of HEMTs up to 40 Ghz in terms of noise and scattering parameters through noise figure measurements only are shown by many experimental results. Because of some inconveniences in practice the use of the method is suggested for research laboratories only. For industrial applications an alternative symplified method is proposed whose performances are shown to be in surprising agreement with the ones of the standard method.

ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS OF OPTIMUM NOISE PARAMETERS OF MICROWAVE TRANSISTORS

Discrete wavelet transform implementation in Fourier domain for multidimensional signal

2002

Wavelet transforms are often calculated by using the Mallat algorithm. In this algorithm, a signal is decomposed by a cascade of filtering and downsampling operations. Computing time can be important but the filtering operations can be speeded up by using fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based convolutions. Since it is necessary to work in the Fourier domain when large filters are used, we present some results of Fourier-based optimization of the sampling operations. Acceleration can be obtained by expressing the samplings in the Fourier domain. The general equations of the down- and upsampling of digital multidimensional signals are given. It is shown that for special cases such as the separab…

È ancora possibile il romanzo-saggio?

2018

Questo articolo tenta di rispondere alla domanda circa la possibilità della sopravvivenza della forma letteraria del romanzo-saggio nella letteratura contemporanea. Dapprima, viene proposta una distinzione teorica fra due forme letterarie che combinano narrazione e riflessione: saggio narrativo (ricco di esempi) e romanzo-saggio (la cui persistenza è invece problematica). In secondo luogo, attraverso la lettura parallela di Estensione del dominio della lotta di Michel Houellebecq e La vita degli animali di J. M. Coetzee, vengono avanzate alcune ipotesi teoriche sulla trasformazione del romanzo-saggio e su un suo possibile declino: è invece la fantascienza, si ipotizza, a rivestire oggi il r…

The importance of kinematic twists and genuine saturation effects in dijet production at the Electron-Ion Collider

2021

We compute the differential yield for quark anti-quark dijet production in high-energy electron-proton and electron-nucleus collisions at small $x$ as a function of the relative momentum $\boldsymbol{P}_\perp$ and momentum imbalance $\boldsymbol{k}_\perp$ of the dijet system for different photon virtualities $Q^2$, and study the elliptic and quadrangular anisotropies in the relative angle between $\boldsymbol{P}_\perp$ and $\boldsymbol{k}_\perp$. We review and extend the analysis in [1], which compared the results of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) with those obtained using the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) framework. In particular, we include in our comparison the improved TMD (ITMD…

MeV ion beam lithography of biocompatible halogenated Parylenes using aperture masks

2015

Parylenes are poly(p-xylylene) polymers that are widely used as moisture barriers and in biomedicine because of their good biocompatibility. We have investigated MeV ion beam lithography using 16O+ ions for writing defined patterns in Parylene-C, which is evaluated as a coating material for the Cochlear Implant (CI) electrode array, a neuroprosthesis to treat some forms of deafness. Parylene-C and -F on silicon and glass substrates as well as 50 μm thick PTFE were irradiated to different fluences (1×1013-1×10161×1013-1×1016 1 MeV 16O+ ions cm−2) through aperture masks under high vacuum and a low pressure (<10−3 mbar) oxygen atmosphere. Biocompatibility of the irradiated and unirradiated …
