There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

I and i

We present the science and technology roadmap for graphene, related two-dimensional crystals, and hybrid systems, targeting an evolution in technology, that might lead to impacts and benefits reaching into most areas of society. This roadmap was developed within the framework of the European Graphene Flagship and outlines the main targets and research areas as best understood at the start of this ambitious project. We provide an overview of the key aspects of graphene and related materials (GRMs), ranging from fundamental research challenges to a variety of applications in a large number of sectors, highlighting the steps necessary to take GRMs from a state of raw potential to a point where they might revolutionize multiple industries. We also define an extensive list of acronyms in an effort to standardize the nomenclature in this emerging field.

Science and technology roadmap for graphene, related two-dimensional crystals, and hybrid systems

We explore in this chapter questions of existence and uniqueness for solutions to stochastic differential equations and offer a study of their properties. This endeavor is really a study of diffusion processes. Loosely speaking, the term diffusion is attributed to a Markov process which has continuous sample paths and can be characterized in terms of its infinitesimal generator.

Phase noise is a topic of theoretical and practical interest in electronic circuits, as well as in other fields, such as optics. Although progress has been made in understanding the phenomenon, there still remain significant gaps, both in its fundamental theory and in numerical techniques for its characterization. In this paper, we develop a solid foundation for phase noise that is valid for any oscillator, regardless of operating mechanism. We establish novel results about the dynamics of stable nonlinear oscillators in the presence of perturbations, both deterministic and random. We obtain an exact nonlinear equation for phase error, which we solve without approximations for random perturbations. This leads us to a precise characterization of timing jitter and spectral dispersion, for computing of which we have developed efficient numerical methods. We demonstrate our techniques on a variety of practical electrical oscillators and obtain good matches with measurements, even at frequencies close to the carrier, where previous techniques break down. Our methods are more than three orders of magnitude faster than the brute-force Monte Carlo approach, which is the only previously available technique that can predict phase noise correctly.

RF/Microwave Circuit Design for Wireless Applications

A method based on the noise correlation technique and its applications is described. The package, which need not be reciprocal, may consist of an arbitrary interconnection of linear passive elements at thermal equilibrium. Only the terminal admittance properties of the package need be known. However, in certain special cases which lead to singular submatrices of the admittance matrix, the method is inapplicable. This situation can occur when elements such as isolators are part of the package. The necessary theoretical foundation and experimental techniques to enable workers not familiar with the field to assemble the software and laboratory setup for two-port noise de-embedding is provided. The automated noise measurement system used for data acquisition and the mathematical basis for it are described in some detail. The validity of the de-embedding approach is established with extensive experimental data obtained on three MESFETs and a pseudomorphic HEMT. >

The Design of Modern Microwave Oscillators for Wireless Applications : Theory and Optimization

A novel and accurate analytical direct extraction method for the determination of MESFET and HEMT parasitic elements is described. The technique differs from the commonly used "cold-FET" technique by avoiding the forward biasing of the Schottky gate junction. The parasitic capacitances, inductances and resistances are directly extracted from S-parameter measurements under pinched-FET and zero-bias conditions. Ambiguities commonly observed during resistance extraction using cold-FET techniques are avoided with the new method.
