Dual Antenna Design for a Novel Airborne Probe
(2016-11-09)
This work outlines the design, simulation, and testing of a dual antenna design for a novel airborne probe. The airborne probe is known as the Global Sense eMote and is designed to collect in-situ atmospheric data and ...
Dual Mode Redox-Responsive MRI Contrast Agents
(2022-08-05)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents function by shortening the relaxation
times of targeted nuclei, thereby better distinguishing regions with different local concentrations
of the visualized nuclei. ...
A Dual-Band Metamaterial Antenna
(2014-05-02)
Metamaterials have a wide variety of potential applications in areas such as optics, acoustics and RF design. Split-Ring Resonators (SRR) are fundamental sub-wavelength structures found in metamaterial design. An adaptation ...
Dual-Threshold Voltage Design of Sub-Threshold Circuits
(2014-06-18)
Threshold voltage of MOSFET technology represents the value of the gate-source voltage
when the current in a MOS transistor starts to increase significantly since the conduction
layer just begins to appear. However, a ...
