Isoerosivity and erosion risk map for Sicily
1991
This paper reviews simplified methods for evaluating the rainfall erosivity index and proposes two relationships for estimating the annual value of Wischmeier's rainfall erosivity index at sites equipped with recording and non-recording raingauges. For the Sicilian region, the FAO index was also found to represent the erosion risk. A regional relationship to estimate the standard deviation of the annual erosivity index is proposed. The isoerosivity map is plotted by using 41 values of the rainfall erosivity index calculated by Wischmeier's procedure and 128 values estimated according to a relationship proposed by the authors. Finally, for each of 169 sites, an erosion risk index is calculat…
Comparison between complete and simplified methods for determining the microwave noise parameters of HEMTs
1994
Modem automatic noise parameter measuring systems are based on measurements of some values of F(rs ) for different values of IГs (more than four, for redundancy) realized by adjusting an admittance transformer (tuner) inserted between the noise source and the TUT mput . Such values are then manipulated by means of proper data processing techniques using eqn.( 1) [ 11. This measuring procedure is hereafter referred to as standard to point out that the old `Standards on methods of measuring noise in linear twoports´ published by the IRE Subcommittee on noise in 1960 is considered obsolete by all the experimenters.
