A fully integrated dual-band CMOS power amplifier (PA) is developed for 802.11n WLAN applications using wafer-level package (WLP) technology. This paper presents a detailed design for the optimal impedance of dual-band PA (2 GHz/5 GHz PA) output transformers with low loss, which is provided by using 2:2 and 2:1 output transformers for the 2 GHz PA and the 5 GHz PA, respectively. In addition, se...

Recent literature on project management has emphasised the effort which is spent by the management team during the project control process. Based on this effort, a functional distinction can be made between a top down and a bottom up project control approach. A top down control approach refers to the use of a project control system that generates project based performance metrics to give a gene...

Completing a project on time and budget are essential factors for the success of any project. One technique that allows predicting final cost is earned value management (EVM). In this technique, different mathematical methods have been proposed over last 30 years. These formulas make use activities’ actual costs durations as progresses. EVM widely used by many professionals. However, very few s...

To store low-temperature heat below 100 ◦C, novel composite sorbents were developed by impregnating LiCl into expanded vermiculite (EVM) in this study. Five kinds of composite sorbents were prepared using different salt concentrations, and the optimal sorbent for application was selected by comparing both the sorption characteristics and energy storage density. Textural properties of composite ...

We experimentally assess compression with scalar and vector quantization for fixed-mobile convergent networks. We show that four-dimensional vector quantization allows 73% compression compliant with 3GPP EVM recommendations for transmissions over 25 km SSMF with 1:16 split ratio.

This paper argues that software testing can be less thorough yet more efficient if applied in a well-managed, empirical manner across the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). To ensure success, testing must be planned and executed within an Earned Value Management (EVM) paradigm. A specific example of empirical software testing is given: the Empirical Bayesian Stopping Rule (EBSR). Th...

This paper focuses on the current developments on the estimation/reconciliation modules of a novel framework for integrated decision support of process systems (IDSoPS). Built on the initial conceptual definition, a generic and versatile error-invariables (EVM) was implemented and tested for both off-line and on-line applications using a state-of-the art modeling tool. The IDSoPS has the capabi...

Dieser Beitrag fokussiert die Frage, wie ein besseres Verständnis für Kommunikationsprozesse und Medienwahl in Innovationswettbewerben erlangt werden kann. Die Virtualisierung von Innovationswettbewerben ermöglicht den Einsatz vielfältiger Medien und verspricht Unternehmen Vorteile gegenüber der traditionellen physischen Integration. Aktuelle theoretische Konzepte erfassen die Art der Kommunika...
