The paper presents an implementation and compatibility tests of a simple home network implemented in a nonconventional manner using a CATV coaxial cable. Reusing the cable, normally designated to supply RF modulated TV signals from cable TV networks, makes possible to add data services as well. A short presentation of the technology is given with an investigation of the main performances obtain...

I Recently a new hybrid EMP simtilator has been developed where the signal is transmitted by a high-quality coaxial cable from a RF source on the ground to a point above the ground where the cable is cut to create a gap source. The cable is made part of the antenna by passing it through chokes which provide a frequency dependent inductively coupled impedance, thus making the cable-shield exteri...

We have analyzed numerically the response and noise-limited charge sensitivity of a radio-frequency singleelectron transistor ~RF-SET! in a nonsuperconducting state using the orthodox theory. In particular, we have studied the performance dependence on the quality factor Q of the tank circuit for Q both below and above the value corresponding to the impedance matching between the coaxial cable ...

If Bekenstein's conjectured bound on the microcanonical entropy, S ≤ 2πER, is applied to a closed subsystem of maximal linear size R and excitation energy up through E, it can be violated by an arbitrarily large factor by a scalar field having a symmetric potential allowing domain walls, and by the electromagnetic field modes in a coaxial cable.

Seeking plasmonic nanostructures with large field confinement and enhancement is significant for photonic and electronic nanodevices with high sensitivity, reproducibility, and tunability. Here, we report the synthesis of plasmonic arrays composed of two-segment dimer nanorods and coaxial cable nanorods with ∼1 nm gap insulated by a self-assembled Raman molecule monolayer. The gap-induced plasm...

Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS) has the potential to become a viable alternative to coaxial cable, fiber and other wired and wireless technologies providing "last mile" communication services. A major obstacle, however, is the high equipment cost. While for example cable modems supporting two-way services are available for $200 to $300, LMDS modem providing similar services will co...
