(author), Knops, Paul (author), van der Steen, A.F.W. (author), van Soest, Gijs (author)In interventional electrophysiology, catheter-based radiofrequency (RF) ablation procedures restore cardiac heart rhythm by interrupting aberrant conduction paths. Real-time feedback on lesion formation and post-treatment lesion assessment could overcome procedural challenges related to ablation of underlying structures and lesion gaps. This...journal article 2019

Caenen, Roger (author)This thesis shows the mass reduction of a mechanical bracket, without compromising on thermal, EMC and structural aspects. The focus was on analysing thermal aspects related to bracket design. Models were made to show the deflection and solder layer stresses due to CTE mismatches between the bracket and PCB. A thermal heat transfer model was...master thesis 2018

Bouazzata, Bilal (author), van der Kolk, Niels (author)In this thesis, a new RF Power Amplifier design is proposed that targets for improving the efficiency profile of classical RF Amplifiers. This RF Power Amplifier is especially designed for modulation schemes that need a PA with high PAPR. The PA consists of two different stages that will be digitally controlled. One of these stages has an...bachelor thesis 2017

Buijs, L. (author), Hoogelander, M. (author)In this work, a switched-device power amplier using bias control is designed and realized. The PA operates at a frequency of 100MHz. Test results show that the PA achieves a PAE of 63% at −6dB power back-off and 60% at the peak output power of 40dBm. First, an overview of the state-of-the-art PA technology and performance in high PAPR...bachelor thesis 2017

Phung, T.T.N. (author)To reduce the usage of Indium (rare material) in CIGS, ultra thin, high efficiency CIGS based solar devices have been developed in our group. One approach is to fabricate hybrid tandem cells between hydrogenated amorphous silicon and CIGS. Because the a-Si:H top sub-cell limits the current of such a device, it is desirable to texture the top...master thesis 2017

Bashir, I. (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author), Balsara, Poras T. (author)We present a numerical model of a wideband injection-locked frequency modulator used in a polar transmitter for 3G cellular radio application. At the heart of the system is a self-injection-locked oscillator with a programmable linear tuning range of up to 200 MHz at 4-GHz oscillation frequency. The oscillator is injection locked to a time...journal article 2017

Tohidian, M. (author), Madadi, I. (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)The zero/low intermediate frequency (IF) receiver (RX) architecture has enabled full CMOS integration. As the technology scales and wireless standards become ever more challenging, the issues related to time-varying dc offsets, the second-order nonlinearity, and flicker noise become more critical. In this paper, we propose a new architecture of...journal article 2017

(author)We made software to simulate Larmor precession in a setup for SESANS with adiabatic/RF flippers in magnets, existing at PNPI. The final polarisation of a divergent “ribbon beam” of height 2 cm is calculated as a function of λ. For λ= 6 A, flippers 56 cm apart and RF frequency 1 MHz we find spin-echo length δ= 0.9 μm. We show numerically, how λ...journal article 2017
