Design and fabrication of two phase shifters circuits are presented in order to compare the performances of the circuit with and without tapering input section. We have used a linear profile of tapering input matching section, and we have compared the phase shifter performances in both cases. We have used Momentum Electro-magnetic simulator to characterize our phase shifter in order to validate the measurement. The expression of phase shifting is obtained using the global (Sij) matrix of proposed phase shifter. The simulations are compared with the measurement and good agreement is obtained.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123529286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition various metrics are used for this performance measure mainly: End-to-End Delay, Paket loss, Packet Delivery Ratio and Routing Overhead metric. We also show the robustness of OLSR against the terminals mobility and the network size. OLSR makes obvious the efficiency of the MPR mechanism in cutting down the traffic density and the energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125001672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two resonators are implemented with the help of metamaterial structures and compactness is achieved by placing the resonators on both signal and ground planes of a Co Planar Waveguide (CPW). The resonators are realized using Complementary Split Ring Resonators (CSRRs). An equivalent circuit of the proposed design is presented along with the fabricated structures. Extraction of the LCR parameters of the proposed equivalent circuit is demonstrated. Further, it is seen that changing the metamaterial structure geometry from CSRR to Complementary U-shaped Split Resonators (CUSRs) tailoring of the pass-band can be achieved. By using different combinations of these two resonators, it is possible to tailor the bandwidth of the filter.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128957850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intensity appearing from some tissue (“temporal spread function”, or TPSF) is studied versus the arrival time of photons with a resolution around of the picoseconds [1]. The image reconstruction and the estimation of the optical properties of the target are based on the combination of the calculated and simulated TPSF (resolution of inverse problem). The method of finite elements (MFE) is a digital method which is used to resolve the problems in the limits characterized by an equation in the partial derivates and a set of conditions in the limits [2]. In this work, we used the MFE to resolve the direct problem of an optical impulse (some picoseconds) distribution in a biological middle. This system is managed by the equation of radiative transfer (ERT) which is under the shape of an equation for the partial derivatives.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127883950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method has been applied in a low cost, zero-bias Schottky diode rectifier having RF-DC conversion efficiency of 55 %. The nonlinear simulation of rectifier circuit and an analytic description of multiple dimensional parameters are the key to study the relation between the nonlinear performance of a rectifier and its matching circuit.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121121732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
