A novel high-power dual-band coupled-line Gysel power divider with impedance-transforming functions.

ABSTRACT: A novel coupled-line structure is proposed to design dual-band and high-power Gysel power dividers with inherent impedance-transforming functions. Based on traditional even- and odd-mode technique, the analytical design methods in closed-form formula are obtained and the accurate electrical parameters analysis is presented. Due to the usage of coupled-line sections, more design-parameter freedom and a wider frequency-ratio operation range for this kind of dual-band Gysel powder divider are obtained. Several numerical examples are designed and calculated to demonstrate flexible dual-band applications with different impedance-transforming functions. A practical microstrip power divider operating at 2 GHz and 3.2 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured. The good agreement between the calculated and measured results verifies our proposed circuit structure and analytical design approach.

Transforming single-band static FSS to dual-band dynamic FSS using origami.

Project description:Frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) have been used to control and shape electromagnetic waves. Previous design approaches use complex geometries that are challenging to implement. With the purpose to transform electromagnetic waves, we morph the shapes of FSS designs based on origami patterns to attain new degrees of freedom and achieve enhanced electromagnetic performance. Specifically, using origami patterns with strongly coupled electromagnetic resonators, we transform a single-band FSS to a dual-band FSS. We explain this transformation by showing that both symmetric and anti-symmetric modes are excited due to the strong coupling and suitable orientation of the elements. Also, our origami FSS can fold/unfold thereby tuning (i.e., reconfiguring) its dual-band performance. Therefore, the proposed FSS is a dynamic reconfigurable electromagnetic structure whereas traditional FSSs are static and cannot change their performance.

Design and Demonstration of Impedance-matched Dual-band Chiral Metasurfaces.

Project description:We propose a new family of impedance-matched chiral metasurfaces that offer arbitrary polarization control at two different frequencies. To this end, two main problems are addressed: (1) determination of the required surface impedances for a certain user-defined chiral functionality at two frequencies and (2) their physical realization at microwaves. The first milestone is achieved through a proposed synthesis method that combines a semi-analytical method and a nonlinear optimization technique. In particular, the impedances are computed such that the devised chiral metasurface is also impedance-matched to a terminating medium. The chiral metasurfaces are then physically realized at microwaves by cascading layers of rotated arrays of multiple concentric rectangular copper rings. We establish that these proposed unit cells offer distinct dual-resonances that can be arbitrarily and independently tuned for two orthogonal linear polarizations at each of the two operating frequencies. This allows simultaneous physical mapping of the required surface impedances at two frequencies. The versatility and generality of the proposed numerical and physical solutions are demonstrated through two design examples: A dual-band circular polarization selective surface (CPSS) and a dual-band polarization rotator (PR). The dual-band CPSS is further confirmed experimentally at 20 GHz and 30 GHz based on a free-space quasi-optical system.

Dual-band-enhanced transmission through a subwavelength aperture by coupled metamaterial resonators.

Project description:In classical mechanics, it is well known that a system consisting of two identical pendulums connected by a spring will steadily oscillate with two modes: one at the fundamental frequency of a single pendulum and one in which the frequency increases with the stiffness of the spring. Inspired by this physical concept, we present an analogous approach that uses two metamaterial resonators to realize dual-band-enhanced transmission of microwaves through a subwavelength aperture. The metamaterial resonators are formed by the periodically varying and strongly localized fields that occur in the two metal split-ring resonators, which are placed gap-to-gap on either side of the aperture. The dual-band frequency separation is determined by the coupling strength between the two resonators. Measured transmission spectra, simulated field distributions, and theoretical analyses verify our approach.

Anterior Thalamic High Frequency Band Activity Is Coupled with Theta Oscillations at Rest.

Project description:Cross-frequency coupling (CFC) between slow and fast brain rhythms, in the form of phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), is proposed to enable the coordination of neural oscillatory activity required for cognitive processing. PAC has been identified in the neocortex and mesial temporal regions, varying according to the cognitive task being performed and also at rest. PAC has also been observed in the anterior thalamic nucleus (ATN) during memory processing. The thalamus is active during the resting state and has been proposed to be involved in switching between task-free cognitive states such as rest, in which attention is internally-focused, and externally-focused cognitive states, in which an individual engages with environmental stimuli. It is unknown whether PAC is an ongoing phenomenon during the resting state in the ATN, which is modulated during different cognitive states, or whether it only arises during the performance of specific tasks. We analyzed electrophysiological recordings of ATN activity during rest from seven patients who received thalamic electrodes implanted for treatment of pharmacoresistant focal epilepsy. PAC was identified between theta (4-6 Hz) phase and high frequency band (80-150 Hz) amplitude during rest in all seven patients, which diminished during engagement in tasks involving an external focus of attention. The findings are consistent with the proposal that theta-gamma coupling in the ATN is an ongoing phenomenon, which is modulated by task performance.

Low-cost Arduino controlled dual-polarity high voltage power supply

Project description:Graphical abstract Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) provides low ppbv detection limits for gas-phase or aqueous analytes. These instruments rely an electric field to produce ion motion. This electric field is typically 200–600 V/cm with a 15 cm cell, requiring an HV source of 6–10 kV. In this work, we present a low-cost alternative for supplying this high voltage. Inexpensive, commercially available 0–20 kV HV modules are mapped to an analog 0–5 V input signal, controlled using an Arduino microcontroller and digital analog converter. Dual polarities are selectable through a front-panel switch and ramps potentials between settings to avoid damage to attached devices.

Dual-band and high-efficiency metasurface-based circular-to-linear polarization converter.

Project description:In this paper, to achieve circular-to-linear polarization conversion, a novel polarization converter based on an anisotropic metasurface is proposed. Because the polarization converter is an orthotropic anisotropic structure with a pair of mutually perpendicular symmetric axes u and v, theoretical analysis shows that the polarization converter can achieve circular-to-linear polarization conversion if its reflection phase difference Δφuv under u-polarized and v-polarized incidences is close to ±90°. Numerical simulations show that the reflection phase difference Δφuv of the polarization converter is very close to +90° in two separated frequency ranges, so the polarization converter can achieve high-efficiency and dual-band CP-to-LP polarization conversion, it can convert right-handed circular-polarized (RHCP) and left-handed circular-polarized (LHCP) waves into y-polarized and x-polarized waves respectively in the two separated frequency bands of 8.08-9.27 GHz and 13.80-27.11 GHz; moreover, its polarization conversion rate (PCR) is kept larger than 99.7% in the two frequency bands. Finally, to validate the design, a prototype is manufactured and measured, the measured results are in good agreement with the simulated ones.

Four-dimensional impedance manometry derived from esophageal high-resolution impedance-manometry studies: a novel analysis paradigm.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to introduce a novel analysis paradigm, referred to as 4-dimensional (4D) manometry based on biophysical analysis; 4D manometry enables the visualization of luminal geometry of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) using high-resolution-impedance-manometry (HRIM) data.MethodsHRIM studies from two asymptomatic controls and one type-I achalasia patient were analyzed. Concomitant fluoroscopy images from one control subject were used to validate the calculated temporal-spatial luminal radius and time-history of intraluminal bolus volume and movement. EGJ analysis computed diameter threshold for emptying, emptying time, flow rate, and distensibility index (DI), which were compared with bolus flow time (BFT) analysis.ResultsFor normal control, calculated volumes for 5 ml swallows were 4.1 ml-6.7 ml; for 30 ml swallows 21.3 ml-21.8 ml. With type-I achalasia, >4 ml of intraesophageal bolus residual was present both pre- and post-swallow. The four phases of bolus transit were clearly illustrated on the time-history of bolus movement, correlating well with the fluoroscopic images. In the control subjects, the EGJ diameter threshold for emptying was 8 mm for 5 ml swallows and 10 mm for 30 ml swallows; emptying time was 1.2-2.2 s for 5 ml swallows (BFT was 0.3-3 s) and 3.25-3.75 s for 30 ml swallows; DI was 2.4-3.4 mm2/mmHg for 5 ml swallows and 4.2-4.6 mm2/mmHg for 30 ml swallows.ConclusionsThe 4D manometry system facilitates a comprehensive characterization of dynamic esophageal bolus transit with concurrent luminal morphology and pressure from conventional HRIM measurements. Calculations of flow rate and wall distensibility provide novel measures of EGJ functionality.

Separator with high ionic conductivity enables electrochemical capacitors to line-filter at high power.

Project description:Line-filtering electrochemical capacitors (LFECs) are demonstrating advantages in line filtering over traditional electrolytic capacitors. However, they can only function at no-load or low-power conditions due to the limited high-frequency capacitance resulting from the excessive ionic resistance, despite much progress in electrode materials. Here, we show separators dominate both ion migration and capacitance in LFECs. A 3 μm-thick thread-anchor structured separator is developed, featuring both accelerated ionic transport and reliability, leading to a low ionic resistance of 25 mΩ cm2. With a phase angle of -80° at 120 Hz, the assembled device has an areal capacitance of 6.6 mF cm-2. Furthermore, stack integration in parallel breaks the trade-off between capacitance and frequency response, boosting the areal capacitance by two orders of magnitude without decay of frequency characteristics. The On-board field test demonstrates that voltage ripples are steadily suppressed below 5% even for practical high-power line filtering with a load power density of 2.5 W cm-2, three orders of magnitude higher than previous instances. This work opens up a perspective of separator engineering for the development of high-performance line-filtering electrochemical capacitors and promotes their applications in practical high-power scenarios.

Whole-infrared-band camouflage with dual-band radiative heat dissipation.

Project description:Advanced multispectral detection technologies have emerged as a significant threat to objects, necessitating the use of multiband camouflage. However, achieving effective camouflage and thermal management across the entire infrared spectrum, especially the short-wave infrared (SWIR) band, remains challenging. This paper proposes a multilayer wavelength-selective emitter that achieves effective camouflage across the entire infrared spectrum, including the near-infrared (NIR), SWIR, mid-wave infrared (MWIR), and long-wave infrared (LWIR) bands, as well as the visible (VIS) band. Furthermore, the emitter enables radiative heat dissipation in two non-atmospheric windows (2.5-3 μm and 5-8 μm). The emitter's properties are characterized by low emittance of 0.270/0.042/0.218 in the SWIR/MWIR/LWIR bands, and low reflectance of 0.129/0.281 in the VIS/NIR bands. Moreover, the high emittance of 0.742/0.473 in the two non-atmospheric windows ensures efficient radiative heat dissipation, which results in a temperature decrement of 14.4 °C compared to the Cr reference at 2000 W m-2 input power density. This work highlights the role of solar radiance in camouflage, and provides a comprehensive guideline for developing multiband camouflage compatible with radiative heat dissipation, from the visible to LWIR.

Pupil Dilation and EEG Alpha Frequency Band Power Reveal Load on Executive Functions for Link-Selection Processes during Text Reading.

Project description:Executive working memory functions play a central role in reading comprehension. In the present research we were interested in additional load imposed on executive functions by link-selection processes during computer-based reading. For obtaining process measures, we used a methodology of concurrent electroencephalographic (EEG) and eye-tracking data recording that allowed us to compare epochs of pure text reading with epochs of hyperlink-like selection processes in an online reading situation. Furthermore, this methodology allowed us to directly compare the two physiological load-measures EEG alpha frequency band power and pupil dilation. We observed increased load on executive functions during hyperlink-like selection processes on both measures in terms of decreased alpha frequency band power and increased pupil dilation. Surprisingly however, the two measures did not correlate. Two additional experiments were conducted that excluded potential perceptual, motor, or structural confounds. In sum, EEG alpha frequency band power and pupil dilation both turned out to be sensitive measures for increased load during hyperlink-like selection processes in online text reading.
