This work describes a meshless method to obtain the electromagnetic characteristics of a monopole placed over a perfectly electric ground plane. The Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin is used with shape functions generated by Moving Least Squares. Boundary conditions are imposed by a collocation method that does not require any numerical integration. The proposed axisymmetric analysis has a simple implementation and reduced computational effort. The results are in agreement with theoretical data and simulations found in the literature.

High-rejection optical filters (~ 20 dB) based on first-order Bragg gratings inscribed in channel waveguides were fabricated using UV-laser direct-write method in sol-gel derived organic-inorganic hybrids, so-called di-ureasils, processed as good-optical quality thin films on oxidized silicon substrates. The gratings were designed to operate at communication wavelengths of 1550 nm demonstrating the great potential of sol-gel technology in the integration of optoelectronic components.

A new method for developing UMTS filters for upload and download bands is proposed. The filters are based on a periodical resonator called the H-type resonator. Simulation results show that the relative mean error is less than 1.5%. The filter designed by this method has an insertion loss less than 1dB and provides low return loss in the bandpass. A periodic network analysis was used for designing the H-type resonator. We have also derived a lumped-element circuit model for the filter whose element's values are found by using genetic algorithms. It is shown that the filter has a suitable frequency response, and that it can be applied quite well in telecommunication systems.

The widespread deployment of optical interconnects in data centers has renewed the interest in multimode fiber communications. Due to the complexity of modern transmission techniques, performance analysis relies on numerical simulations that require an accurate channel model to reflect reality with the needed precision. As there is no standard model for channel simulation, we investigate a deterministic, a statistical and the Cambridge 108 Fiber model for derivation of the multimode fiber (MMF) impulse response. Numerical simulations are performed in order to calculate the 3-dB bandwidth for each model. We show that the Cambridge model is generally a compromise between the statistical and the theoretical model, which seem to represent a pessimistic and an optimistic scenarios, respectively.

The exponential growth of wireless communication in portable device market has been increasing the demand for very flexible RF transceivers, including the ability of communicating in an unpredictable environment, from very weak to highly powered signal levels without losing its functionality. In this paper we present an automatic continuous gain control CMOS receiver for 2.4GHz ISM band with minimum NF of 1.45dB at highest gain mode, ICP of −9dBm at lowest gain mode, and gain variation of 30dB, from 40dB to 10dB. It contains a continuous variable gain LNA, a down-conversion Mixer and a RMS-detector consuming 30mW under 1.8V power supply.

This work reports the simultaneous use of electrical impedance spectroscopy and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) refractive index sensing in the estimation of the main components of specific fuel mixtures. Fuel samples containing gasoline, dehydrated ethanol, diesel, and kerosene were analyzed. Electrical impedance spectra and FBG sensor signals were registered for each mixture. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were used to estimate the ethanol concentration using the information from both sensors separately and to illustrate the methodology of fusing data from sensors that measure electrical permittivity at different frequency ranges, namely, an electrical impedance sensor and the etched FBG refractometric sensor. The behavior of the ANN to fuse data and the individual analysis of the sensor signals indicated that the joint use of the proposed techniques enhance the fuel estimation quality when compared to the usage of a singleton sensor.

This paper presents a propagation model for prediction of path loss and performance parameters (throughput and frame loss) on OFDM-based networks. For this study, measurements on a 5.8 GHz Wimax network were carried out. The proposed model parameters have been adjusted by LS (Least Squares) optimization, using measured data as reference. The results show that the proposed model has a good agreement with the measurements. Futures works can consider an adjustment for a set of frequencies. For this purpose, extensive measurements campaigns will be carried out.

This paper presents a frequency synthesizer for the frequency of 2.4 GHz, which were designed to present a reduced level of reference frequency spurs. Parts of the synthesizer were fabricated in a standard 0.18 μm CMOS process, whose architecture is based on a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) with an integer divider in the feedback loop and was designed to work with a voltage supply of only 1.8 V. Some building blocks are reused thus the novelty of this paper is presenting a PLL with two new blocks for reducing the magnitude of spurs of the process, e.g., a sample-and-hold circuit and a quantizer circuit (with N quantizing levels). The PLL behaviour was simulated for a few number of levels — N={32, 64, 128} — and for a variety of loop-filters. As showed by the simulations, the quantizations provide an additional reduction of the reference-frequency spurs into the output of the PLL. Moreover, the locking time is kept low even after including the two new circuit blocks in the loop
