The Wireless Kitchen: Introducing Inductive Power Transfer in the Kitchen Environment

Inductive power transfer is a technique to transfer power between two systems by using induction. Philips has started the development of a standard for this wireless power transfer technique for products with high power, such as kitchen appliances. The Wireless Kitchen graduation project was started to investigate this introduction of inductive...

Improved RF Devices for Future Adaptive Wireless Systems Using Two-Sided Contacting and A1N Cooling

This paper reviews special RF/microwave silicon device implementations in a process that allows two-sided contacting of the devices: the back-wafer contacted silicon-on-glass (SOG) substrate-transfer technology (STT) developed at DIMES. In this technology, metal transmission lines can be placed on the low-loss glass substrate, while the...
