A sputtering process has been applied to deposit quarter-wavelength stacks on the end facet of cleaved optical fibers by using only one sputtering target. Standard multimode optical fibers were used as substrates to fabricate ...

A family of capacitively coupled alternating current (AC) amplifiers featuring ultra-low (below 1 Hz) corner frequency is presented. This is achieved by using high-gain devices which actively boost feedback resistance and ...

The success of second-life (SL) Li-ion batteries from electric vehicles is still conditioned by their technical and economic viability. The knowledge of the internal parameters of retired batteries at the repurposing stage ...

In time-of-flight (TOF)-based human ranging systems, target sensors are often mounted on or close to the human body, which may raise non-line-of-sight (NLOS) cases and lead to significant ranging errors depending on the ...

The advent of optical fibre-based biosensors combined with that of nanotechnologies has provided an oppor-tunity for developing in situ, portable, lightweight, versatile and high-performance optical sensing platforms. We ...

In this work, the channel characterization in terms of large-scale propagation, small-scale propagation, statistical and interference analysis of Fifth-Generation (5G) Millimeter Wave (mmWave) bands for wireless networks ...

The relaxation of the property of monotonicity is a trend in the theory of aggregation and fusion functions and several generalized forms of monotonicity have been introduced, most of which are based on the notion of ...

In this paper, a low-profile, compact size, inexpensive, and easily integrable frequency reconfigurable antenna system is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of an inverted-F shape antenna, capacitors, and switching ...

This work provides insight into the correlation between the luminescent response of a water-vapour optical fibre sensor and the textural properties of its lanthanide-doped silica coating. To this end, a library of 16 silica ...
