This paper presents an automated parameter extraction software tool developed for constructing Silicon (Si) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) power diode models, which is called DIode Model Parameter extrACtion Tools (DIMPACT). This software tool extracts the data
We demonstrate linear optical sampling using simultaneous pulsed and CW local oscillators to enable phase tracking of a data modulated carrier. The technique enables the direct measurement of remotely received signals with low phase noise.
We present a new experimental method for determining the broadband dielectric permittivity of ferroelectric thin film samples over the broad frequency range 100 Hz - 40 GHz. Such characterization is extremely important for both a fundamental understanding
A low complexity Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC) technique is proposed to suppress Multi-Access Interference (MAI) and minimize near-far effect for multi-user communication using Direct-Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA)
In this paper, we present a systematic design structure for high-density ad hoc networks aimed at achieving full cooperative diversity, based on which the PHY, MAC and Network layers of the system are specifically tailored. For the latter in particular, we
We will describe how the complex frequency response of a high-speed photodiode is calibrated by use of electro-optic sampling. Our uncertainty analysis includes a unique covariance-matrix based method that allows us to transform uncertainties between the

Palladized zero-valent iron nanoparticles have been frequently employed to achieve enhanced treatment of halogenated organic compounds. However no detailed study has been published on their structures, especially the distribution of palladium within the
We demonstrate a network monitoring technique for the frequency chirping of external modulators based on linear optical sampling. We present α parameter waveforms of digital data modulation from simultaneously measured amplitude and phase. Digital data

We describe the development of two next-generation optical coatings; amorphous polymer-derived silicon carbonitride (SiCN) particles and a composite consisting of SiCN surrounding a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) core. Laser-induced damage testing of

This paper describes an activity that has begun recently to develop an international standard for rectangular metallic waveguides and their interfaces for frequencies of 110 GHz and above. The IEEE's Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) is
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1451 standard provides plug-and-play capability of smart transducers (sensors and actuators). Plug-and-play is an important aspect of interoperability, which is the ability of two or more systems
This paper discusses the factors that determine the accuracy of radio controlled clocks. The topics covered including the accuracy of the time signal station, path delay, synchronization errors, and the time error that accumulates between synchronizations.
We demonstrate a technique for optical performance monitoring of quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) data channels by simultaneously identifying optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), chromatic dispersion (CD), and polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) using

The electron scattering mechanisms in sub-50nm copper lines were investigated to understand the extendibility of copper interconnects when the line width or thickness is less than the mean free path. Electron-beam lithography and a dual hardmask approach
Transistors have been made from single molecules, where the flow of electrons is controlled by modulating the energy of the molecular orbitals. Insight from such systems could aid the development of future electronic devices.
