-A slotted waveguide providing a two dimensional near-field focused beam is presented in this paper. This antenna focuses the beam in the E-plane and provides a wide beam in the H-plane in order to illuminate a linear array, as reflector transmit-array antenna with a small width (100mm) and a very large length (1530mm) located in the near-field region. The simulated field distribution on the ar...

The present invention is embodied in a charge coupled device (CCD)/charge injection device (CID) architecture capable of performing a Fourier transform by simultaneous matrix vector multiplication (MVM) operations in respective plural CCDICID arrays in parallel in 0(1) steps. For example, in one embodiment, a first CCDICID array stores charge packets representing a first matrix operator based u...

This paper presents a compact analog neuron cell incorporating an array of charge-coupled synapses connected via a common output terminal. The novel silicon synapse is based on a two stage charge-coupled device where the weighting functionality can be integrated into the first stage. A presynaptic spike to the second gate allows the charge under the first gate to drift onto the floating diffusi...

The charge-coupled device (CCD) has been developed primarily as a compact image sensor for consumer and industrial markets, but is now also the preeminent visible and ultraviolet wavelength image sensor in many fields of scientific research including space-science and both Earth and planetary remote sensing. Today’s scientific or science-grade CCD will strive to maximise pixel count, focal plan...
