High Figure-of-Merit Laterally Fluorinated Biphenyltolane-Isothiocyanates

Epitaxial CrN thin films with high thermoelectric figure of merit.

A large enhancement of the thermoelectric figure of merit is reported in single-crystalline films of CrN. The mechanism of the reduction of the lattice thermal conductivity in cubic CrN is similar to the resonant bonding in IV-VI compounds. Therefore, useful ideas from classic thermo-electrics can be applied to tune functionalities in transition metal nitrides and oxides.

Interpreting the Dark Energy Figure of Merit

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...
