The measurement results show that yeast cell suspension with concentration as low as 4 million cells/ml or 4 cells/nl can be distinguished from water by their dielectric constants at millimeter wave frequencies. High contrast in the imaginary part of the permittivity is found for cell concentrations from 4 million cells/ml to 4 billion cells/ml.","PeriodicalId":290319,"journal":{"name":"82nd ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132867320","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}

Most notably, a negative gain slope is inherent to an RF/Microwave receiver chain, in-part, because of attenuation that results from frequency-dependent ohmic losses in the dielectric. We present a novel approach to tunable gain slope equalization that solves this problem by taking advantage of the existing IFM capability in an electronic warfare receiver. The demonstrated 0.4-2.4 GHz system circumvents problems associated with impedance mismatch, and offers an efficient means to tune the gain slope. In this feasibility assessment, we discuss the theory, measurement results, and challenges associated with practical IFM-based gain slope equalization. We also extend this discussion into an evaluation of the challenges of increasing the system's unambiguous bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":290319,"journal":{"name":"82nd ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124650398","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 limiting factor is very important for nanoscale electronic devices, such as 2D semiconductor devices. In this work, low frequency noise in high mobility single crystal MoS2 grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is investigated. The measured low frequency noise follows an empirical formulation of mobility fluctuations with Hooge's parameter ranging between 1.44×10-3 and 3.51×10-2. Small variation of Hooge's parameter suggests superior material uniformity and processing control of CVD grown MoS2 devices than reported single-layer MoS2 FET. The extracted Hooge's parameter is one order of magnitude lower than CVD-grown graphene. The Hooge's parameter shows an inverse relationship with the field mobility.","PeriodicalId":290319,"journal":{"name":"82nd ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124100337","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}
