This paper demonstrates a k-band low insertion loss variation phase shifter with over 330∘continuously phase tuning range from 21-25GHz in standard 0.18-μm CMOS technology. This phase shifter is composed of a 180 ∘ continuously phase tuning range reflection type phase shifter (RTPS) and a 180∘discrete switch type phase shifter (STPS). The measured phase shift range is 336∘with low loss variatio...

This paper presents a hybrid design based, CMOS millimeter-wave (mm-wave) single-polar single-throw (SPST) switch. The circuit design starts from the analysis and optimization of a distributed structure, while implemented using coupled lump elements for performance improvement and area-efficient layout. Moreover, a specific bias scheme is used to further decrease insertion loss by more than 0.5...

A review is made, analyzing marginal bone loss in relation to the depth of implant insertion with platform switching, according to the position of the neck (supracrestal, crestal or subcrestal), and evaluating survival of the implants. A PubMed search was made of the studies in animals and humans published between 2005 and 2011, specifying platform insertion depth (supracrestal, crestal or subc...

In this paper, a matching circuit for RF diplexer for mobile communication is proposed. Most wanted bands in wireless technologies like GSM and DCS is used. Both bands are designed by using stepped impedance resonators with single order and matching between this two are implemented by Yjunction method. Cutoff frequency for GSM and DCS band are 925 MHz and 1795 MHz. Microstrip Technology is prop...

We investigate the fundamental insertion loss due to mode mismatch in an optical link involving a single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) transmission with the insertion of a segment of a multimode Cr(4+)-doped fiber (MMCDF). With an MMCDF core diameter of approximately 15.5 microm that matches the SMF, we obtained coupling efficiencies of 60.3% to 87.5% in the entire transmission spectral range of 1,300...

In this study, a fractal, Y-shaped dual-mode resonator bandpass filter (BPF) with input-output cross-coupling is introduced. A parallel-coupling feed structure with a cross coupling has been used to generate two transmission zeroes (TZs) near the lower and upper cutoff frequency that can effectively improve the passband edge selectivity. Also, a fractal shaped based on conventional diamond and ...
