Photonic technologies have received considerable attention regarding the enhancement of radiofrequency electrical systems, including high-frequency analogue signal transmission, control of phased arrays, analog-to-digital conversion and signal processing. Although the potential of radiofrequency photonics for the implementation of tunable electrical filters over broad radiofrequency bandwidths ...

This paper proposes the design of a tunable radiofrequency filter based on the switched capacitor techniques. This circuit, which can replace high-Q external passive filters, allows a high selectivity with a tunable center frequency range of 400 MHz [700-1100 MHz], with quality factor up than 1100. Implemented in 0.18 μm CMOS technology, this circuit is intended to be used for the next generati...

The least-mean-square (LMS) adaptive filter is applied to suppress narrow-band radiofrequency interference (R.FI) in wideband synthetic aperture radar (SAR.) signals. Simulation is used to show the working principles of the adaptive filter and to obtain the optimum filter's parameters. The algorithm is tested with P-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR.) data collected by the NASA/JPL airborne SA...

Background: Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary loss of urine, which can affect up to 45% women after menopause. Radiofrequency a non-invasive procedure that involves application an electromagnetic wave through heat generation promotes neocollagenesis and neoeslatinogenesis in vaginal epithelium. This energy-based technology has been studied potential alternative for treatment ge...

High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) has been used in emergency airway scenarios and various surgical procedures. Although substantial literature is available regarding HFJV in these situations, there is only 1 publication to date concerning its use for cardiac radiofrequency ablation procedures. The following case study describes a 49-year-old man undergoing radiofrequency ablation in which H...

patients with valvular heart disease and suffering atrial fibrillation of more than 12 months duration have a low probability of remaining in sinus rhythm after valve surgery alone. we performed intra-operative radiofrequency ablation or cryoablation as an alternative to surgical maze ііі procedure to create linear lesion lines for conversion of this arrhythmia to sinus rhythm. a total of 30 pa...

For supporting location-aware computing in indoor environments, the location sensing/positioning system not only need to provide objects’ precise location, but also should own such characteristics as: isotropy and convenience for portability. In this paper, we present an indoor location sensing system, Cicada. This System is based on the TDOA (time difference of arrival) between Radiofrequency ...
