Figure of Merit of Silicon Photomultiplier/Scintillator Electron Detector

Interpreting the Dark Energy Figure of Merit

Optimization of efficiency-loss figure of merit in carrier-depletion silicon Mach-Zehnder optical modulator.

In this paper we study the optimization of interleaved Mach-Zehnder silicon carrier depletion electro-optic modulator. Following the simulation results we demonstrate a phase shifter with the lowest figure of merit (modulation efficiency multiplied by the loss per unit length) 6.7 V-dB. This result was achieved by reducing the junction width to 200 nm along the phase-shifter and optimizing the ...

Figure of Merit for Multiband Antennas

This communication defines a figure of merit for multiband antennas that gives an objective quantification of the similarities between radiation patterns at the different antenna operating bands.

Microwave Amplifier Figure of Merit Measurement

Fig.2 Amplifier under test. Amplifiers can operate in classes A, B, AB, C, D, E and F [2]. We tested class A amplifier made by „Microwave Power Devices“, Model: LWA 4690-1/1837, based on bipolar devices (Fig.2). Usually, 1dB compression point, gain and two-tone third-order intercept point are measured as the amplifier figure of merit. As specified by manufacturer, the frequency range of the amp...
