Testing Stationarity and Statistical Independence of Multistatic/Polarimetric Sea-Clutter with Application to NetRAD Data

Aubry, Augusto (author), Carotenuto, Vincenzo (author), Maio, Antonio De (author), Fioranelli, F. (author)

The design of bespoke adaptive detection schemes relying on the joint use of multistatic/polarimetric measurements requires a preliminary statistical inference on the clutter interference environment. This is of paramount importance to develop an analytic model for the received signal samples, which is mandatory for the synthesis of radar...

Cryogenic-Aware Forward Body Biasing in Bulk CMOS

Overwater, R.W.J. (author), Babaie, M. (author), Sebastiano, F. (author)

Cryogenic CMOS (cryo-CMOS) circuits are often hindered by the cryogenic threshold-voltage increase. To mitigate such an increase, a forward body biasing (FBB) technique in bulk CMOS is proposed, which can operate up to the nominal supply without problematic leakage currents, thanks to the larger diode turn-on voltage at cryogenic temperatures...

Maduro, L.A. (author), Noordam, M.L. (author), Bolhuis, M. (author), Kuipers, L. (author), Conesa Boj, S. (author)

The fabrication of 2D materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), in geometries beyond the standard platelet-like configuration exhibits significant challenges which severely limit the range of available morphologies. These challenges arise due to the anisotropic character of their bonding van der Waals out-of-plane while...

New production routes for ⁹⁹Mo are steadily gaining importance. However, the obtained specific activity is much lower than currently produced by the fission of U-235. To be able to supply hospitals with ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTc generators with the desired activity, the adsorption capacity of the column material should be...

Vollmer, I. (author), Mondal, A. (author), Yarulina, I. (author), Abou-Hamad, Edy (author), Kapteijn, F. (author), Gascon, Jorge (author)

The catalytic performance of the bifunctional catalyst Mo/HZSM-5 for methane dehydroaromatization (MDA) depends on the Mo dispersion and on zeolite acidity. Here we separately quantify the effect of dispersion and the effect of acidity on aromatic yields and coke selectivity. Also, the effect of porosity on the same is quantitatively...

(author), Hensen, Emiel (author), Kapteijn, F. (author), Gascon, Jorge (author)

The active sites on the methane dehydroaromatization (MDA) catalyst Mo/HZSM-5 are very hard to characterize, because they are present in various geometries and sizes and only form under reaction conditions with methane at 700 °C. To address these issues an experimental strategy is presented that enables distinguishing different active sites...

An Auto-Zero Stabilized Voltage Buffer with a Quiet Chopping Scheme and Constant Input Current

Rooijers, C.T. (author), Huijsing, J.H. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)

The readout of high-impedance sensors and sampled voltage references [1] requires amplifiers that can achieve both low offset and low input current. Recently, it has been shown that this unique combination can be achieved by an auto-zero (AZ) stabilized buffer [2]. However, its low-frequency noise density is surd 5 times higher than the...
