Not Available Q-DOT proposes to develop a miniature oscillator MINO) in a small (0.2 x 0.2 x 0.5 ), PCMCIA-card-compatible module. The MINO will oscillate at a frequency in the range of 1-10 GH (nominally 6Ghz). The MINO is specifically designed to drive high performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) in advanced digital receivers. These 16-bit ADCs are characterized by 100mhz bandwidth ...

Not Available Feasibility of fabricating nanophase reinforced Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) will be demonstrated. MMCs are a class of materials that have superior physical, mechanical, and thermal properties; including specific strength and modulus, high temperature stability, thermal conductivity, and controlled coefficient of thermal expansion. Because of inherent differences to traditional ...

Not Available Capacitors are formed by depositing a dielectric between two conductive plates. While fabrication techniques achieve outstanding levels of repeatabillity and consistency, many applications are difficult to fullfill with current manufacturing methods. A solid state resistor film may be trimmed to a certain value after deposition by the selective ablation of the resisting medium b ...
