Dual-Band Tunable Recursive Active Filter

This letter presents a novel recursive active filter topology that provides dual-band performance, with independent tuning capability in both bands. The dual-band operation is achieved by using two independent feedback lines. Additionally, linear phase shifters based on left-handed cells are included in these two branches in order to tune the center frequency of both pass bands.

On a comparison method to reaction-diffusion systems and its applications to chemotaxis

In this paper we consider a general system of reaction-diffusion equations and introduce a comparison method to obtain qualitative properties of its solutions. The comparison method is applied to study the stability of homogeneous steady states and the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of different systems with a chemotactic term. The theoretical results obtained are slightly modified to be applied to the problems where the systems are coupled in the differentiated terms and / or contain nonlocal terms. We obtain results concerning the global stability of the steady states by comparison with solutions of Ordinary Differential Equations.

Demonstration of (In, Ga)N/GaN Core-Shell Micro Light-Emitting Diodes Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy on Ordered MOVPE GaN Pillars

This work reports on the growth of (In, Ga)N core−shell micro pillars by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy using an ordered array of GaN cores grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy as a template. Upon (In, Ga)N growth, core−shell structures with emission at around 3.0 eV are formed. Further, the fabrication of a core−shell pin structure is demonstrated.
