Developing PCM-Based Microwave and Millimetre-Wave Switching Networks by Optimised Building Blocks

Microwave and millimetre wave sensors for crack detection

Microwave spectroscopy of biomolecular building blocks.

Microwave spectroscopy, considered as the most definitive gas phase structural probe, is able to distinguish between different conformational structures of a molecule, because they have unique spectroscopic constants and give rise to distinct individual rotational spectra.Previously, application of this technique was limited to molecular specimens possessing appreciable vapor pressures, thus di...

Millimetre-Wave Backhaul for 5G Networks: Challenges and Solutions

The trend for dense deployment in future 5G mobile communication networks makes current wired backhaul infeasible owing to the high cost. Millimetre-wave (mm-wave) communication, a promising technique with the capability of providing a multi-gigabit transmission rate, offers a flexible and cost-effective candidate for 5G backhauling. By exploiting highly directional antennas, it becomes practic...

Millimetre-wave and Terahertz Electronics

Brainstem respiratory networks: building blocks and microcircuits.

Breathing movements in mammals are driven by rhythmic neural activity generated within spatially and functionally organized brainstem neural circuits comprising the respiratory central pattern generator (CPG). This rhythmic activity provides homeostatic regulation of gases in blood and tissues and integrates breathing with other motor acts. We review new insights into the spatial-functional org...
