    High-yield E-band diplexer for fixed radio point-to-point equipment

    No full text
    The article describes practical guidelines for an E-Band tuning-less waveguide diplexer design (71-86 GHz) which requires looser fabrication tolerances and provides higher yield than traditional methods. Physical considerations concerning sensitivity to manufacturing inaccuracies are discussed and proven by designing and manufacturing two different diplexers on a set of typical specifications. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Passive Networks for C-Band Multi-Carrier Wireless Backhaul Systems

    No full text
    This paper presents an overview of the passive components involved in multi-carrier single-antenna wireless backhauling systems, dedicated to enhancing data throughput for 5G deployment across the C-band. Three passive devices are the core building blocks for the presented configurations, all sharing the metallic hollow waveguide technology. The description and the design-to-manufacturing workflow is reported for a balanced coupler, a circulator, and an orthomode transducer. The required specifications together with measured data are reported for all the aforementioned devices
