The core of a CNTFET is a carbon nanotube. Its conductance property is determined by the so-called chirality of the tube; chirality is difficult to control during manufacturing. This results in conducting (metallic) nanotubes and defective CNTFETs similar to stuck-on (SON or source-drain short)faults, as encountered in classical MOS devices. This paper studies this phenomenon by using layout information and presents modeling. For CNTFET-based circuits (e.g. intramolecular), these defects are analyzed using a traditional stuck-at fault model. This analysis is applicable to primitive and complex gates. In this paper, we have also developed a simple analytical model for ballistic nano transistors that operate by modulating the charge in the device (as opposed to modulating the current at the contact). This analytical model captures the essential physics of MOSFET-like ballistic[10] nanotransistors and provides a convenient way to assess and compare transistors at the ballistic limit. The circuit simulation was carried out using SPICE model and the current voltage characteristics were obtained.","PeriodicalId":254761,"journal":{"name":"Recent Advances in Space Technology Services and Climate Change 2010 (RSTS & CC-2010)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117175094","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}

We present a microstrip resonator that measures the dielectric constant (relative permittivity) of the water by means of variation in resonant frequency. The design makes use of Defected ground structure (DGS) for enhanced resonance. The electromagnetic field distribution, resonant frequency and quality factor of the design are computed and analyzed.

The images generating from various Vegetation Indices like Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) etc. from multispectral imagery can provide valuable vegetation information about an area. Soil background conditions exert considerable influence on partial canopy spectra and calculated vegetation indices. Therefore, it is important to monitor the vegetation vigour changes with respect to the soil background conditions. For this purpose, a suitable remote sensing based algorithm i.e. Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) was selected and applied for the study. The analysis of vegetation vigour changes was done for different time series in the part of Andhra Pradesh state. The MODIS vegetation index images of 250m resolution were used. NDVI and NDWI images were derived for red and black soil types, with reference to that the SAVI model was created and executed in ERDAS IMAGINE platform. In SAVI equation, the soil adjusted factor ‘L’ was modified with different values and multivariate SAVI images were derived for both red and black soil regions. In the various red soil regions, the SAVI with ‘L’ value as 0.25, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 produced the fair result on soil and vegetation reflectance variations over the crop season. Similarly in the different black soil region, the vegetation cover is medium and SAVI with ‘L’ value as 0.3 and 0.4 produced the fair result on soil and vegetation variation. This study was done with only the two types of soil regions and with minimal datasets. The analysis part of the study can be extended with multiple data sets and different seasons.","PeriodicalId":254761,"journal":{"name":"Recent Advances in Space Technology Services and Climate Change 2010 (RSTS & CC-2010)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132523886","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}

American Meteorological Society/Environment Protection Agency Regulatory Model Improvement Committee has developed an improved version model, Aermic dispersion Model (AERMOD) to predict the GLC. USEPA has adopted AERMOD as its regulatory model since 2005. This study examines the suitability of AERMOD for Indian conditions especially for a rural area near by Chennai. The validity of AERMOD model is examined considering a point source of emission from an industry which uses furnace oil as fuel. The study has been conducted to compare the predicted value using AERMOD and the actual value of GLC by field observations. The study also used ISCST3 to predict the GLC and the values obtained have been compared between the models. This study aimed at the comparison of the AERMOD and ISCST3 models for ambient air quality prediction. Further in this paper, local meteorological data have been used to a greater accuracy to validate the models AERMOD and ISCST3 for the point source of emission of SO2. It is clear from this study that weather data playing a vital role in validation of model and to predict the air pollution concentration in a particular station. And also it is clear that both AERMOD and ISCST3 have under predicted the concentrations than that of the observed value and the accuracy of the predicated data is mainly depending on the weather data.","PeriodicalId":254761,"journal":{"name":"Recent Advances in Space Technology Services and Climate Change 2010 (RSTS & CC-2010)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123163493","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}

When optical fiber with modulated frequency falls on the device, flow of charge carriers changes corresponding to the change in the wavelength and frequency of incident light. The photo voltage is developed due to the transport of holes across the schottky junction .The data suggest that the magnitude of photo voltage increases, and as a result, there are more uncovered ionic charges in the space charge region toward the drain-side of the gate. This analysis including surface states and the ion implanted buried-gate process. The access charge density at the drain-side of the depletion induces opposite charges in the gate electrode. Consequently, it gives forward biasing to the Schottky barrier gate which increases with increasing values of Ids. As a result, the modulation of channel conductance and photo-voltage characteristics due to the buried-gate GaAs MESFET becomes high effective. The results indicate very good performance of the device compared to other devices like MESFET under back illumination and MESFET with front illumination having surface gate.","PeriodicalId":254761,"journal":{"name":"Recent Advances in Space Technology Services and Climate Change 2010 (RSTS & CC-2010)","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123171051","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}

To solve this problem, this paper aims to utilize a spatial-temporal self-tuning synthesis filter capable of mutual coupling compensation and interference mitigation. The spatial filter and temporal filter are to compensate for the effect of mutual coupling and interference mitigation, respectively. Self-tuning mechanism is to adopt least square (LS) and minimum variable distortionless response-(MVDR-) based method to adjust spatial and temporal weights of antenna array.
