In this paper, a new formulation based on conversion matrix method is proposed to analyze "near-the-carrier local ocillator (LO) noise" down conversion to IF in microwave mixers. This method could be easily applied to analyze LO noise down conversion in any type of mixer. Practical results of this method have been compared with the envelope method and measurement results. It is shown that despite the conventional AM noise suppression in balanced mixers, the near-the-carrier LO noise suppression does not occur necessarily at the center frequency of hybrid in balanced mixers. AM noise suppression values are predicted precisely. © 2009 IEEE

Conjugated enynes, dienes and simple olefins have been cleanly and selectively synthesized, good-to-excellent yields, by dehydration of corresponding alcohols using focused microwave irradiation on the surface of LiCI-acidic alumina  

Various thioamides, especially thiobenzanilides and thioacetomorpholides, bearing a heterocycle ring were efficiently prepared by a modified Willgerodt-Kindler reaction of quinaldine and α- and γ-picoline with anilines and morpholine in the presence of sulfur, and a catalytic amount of DABCO under microwave irradiation

We describe a quantum interface between an optical and a microwave field based on their common interaction with a nano-mechanical resonator. This is an effective source of two-mode squeezing with an optical idler and a microwave signal, enabling continuous variable teleportation  

KF-Al2O3 catalyzes the reaction of arylthioacetamides with α-bromo, ketones to give fully substituted new indeno- and naphtho- fused thiophenes with good yields under solvent-free conditions by controlled microwave heating.

Aryl benzylsulfonates undergo so-called pseudo-thia-Fries rearrangement under microwave irradiation. Benzylated phenolic compounds have been obtained with the loss of 'SO2' from the starting materials  

A number of schemes for a quantum interface between light at different wavelengths have been demonstrated and very recently various solutions for interfacing optics and microwaves have been proposed [1-3]. We describe here a reversible quantum interface between optical and microwave photons based on a micro-mechanical resonator in a superconducting circuit, simultaneously interacting with an optical and a microwave cavity [3]. When the cavities are appropriately driven, the mechanical resonator mediates an effective parametric amplifier interaction, entangling an optical signal and a microwave idler. Such continuous variable (CV) entanglement can be then exploited to implement CV... 

Feed-forward is one of the best methods for linearizing microwave power amplifiers, but due to device tolerance in implementation of the system components, the practical Inter-Modulation Rejection (IMR) value may differ quite much from the theoretical IMR value. One of the methods to improve the practical performance of the system is using the multi-loop configuration. Here we have introduced the multi-loop feedforward systems and we have estimated the practical IMR values of the system using Monte-Carlo analysis. As the analysis shows, although the number of components in a multi-loop system is increased with respect to a simple feed-forward system, but the difference between the practical... 

We describe a reversible quantum interface between an optical and a microwave field using a hybrid device based on their common interaction with a micromechanical resonator in a superconducting circuit. We show that, by employing state-of-the-art optoelectromechanical devices, one can realize an effective source of (bright) two-mode squeezing with an optical idler (signal) and a microwave signal, which can be used for high-fidelity transfer of quantum states between optical and microwave fields by means of continuous variable teleportation  

The spatial Green's function of the open microstrip structure is usually represented by the time-consuming and computationally inefficient spectral integral. This paper introduces a new closed form Green's function for the open microstrip structure by applying the GGF method. Therefore, the numerical integration of the spectral integral can be avoided entirely, leading to a considerable decrease of calculating time. Owing to the remarkable resemblances between the CI and GGF methods, for improvement of approximation especially in large distances, some useful techniques such as extraction of the surface wave poles can be carried out. Even though only an open microstrip structure with one...

Perchloric acid immobilized on silica gel (SiO2-HClO4) has been utilized as a mild and cheap reagent for onepot preparation of different varieties of flavylium salts via tandem reaction of different acetophenones with Salicylaldehydes under solvent-free conditions. Different reaction conditions such as conventional heating and microwave irradiation have been investigated. The corresponding flavylium salts have been prepared in high yields. The procedure is milder and more convenient than the known procedures  

We have synthesized ZnxCd1-xS nanocrystals (NCs) using a microwave assisted method. Zn(Ac)2, CdSO4 and Na2S2O3 were used as the precursors and thioglycerol (TG) was used as the capping agent. Na2S 2O3 is a photo and heat sensitive material, which supplies S species needed for the reaction upon dissociation. In this facile method, microwave irradiation provides the activation energy for the dissociation of Na2S2O3 in and leads to the formation of ZnxCd1-xS NCs in 2 min. The question that to what extent Zn is incorporated into CdS structure was addressed using UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Our results showed that the real value of x in...
