Slow‐Wave HMSIW‐SSPP Leaky‐Wave Antenna With Phase‐Shift Asymmetric Coupling for Continuous Beam Scanning

ABSTRACT A compact leaky‐wave antenna (LWA) with innovative phase‐shift asymmetric coupling for continuous beam scanning is presented. The antenna utilises a slow‐wave half‐mode substrate integrated waveguide with spoof surface plasmon pola...

Rich: Region-based Intelligent Cluster-Head Selection and Node Deployment Strategy in Concentric-based WSNs

In a random deployment, sensor nodes are scattered randomly in the sensing field. Hence, the coverage can not be guaranteed. In contrast, the coverage of uniformly deployment is in general larger than the random deployment. However, unifo...

Detection of microRNA-335-5p on an Interdigitated Electrode Surface for Determination of the Severity of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) refers to the enlargement of the lower artery of the abdominal aorta, and identification of an early detection tool is urgently needed for diagnosis. In the current study, an interdigitated electrode...

Dynamic Behavior Improvement of Normally-Off p-GaN High-Electron-Mobility Transistor Through a Low-Temperature Microwave Annealing Process

The surface morphology optimization of ohmic contacts and the Mg out-diffusion suppression of normally off p-GaN gate high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) continue to be challenges in the power electronics industry in terms of the hig...
