Towards a N77 Electroacoustic Filter Using Thin Films of Crystalline Y-cut Lithium Niobate

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Soumya Yandrapalli

This paper presents the use of a novel type of resonators made of a thin membrane of Y-cut Lithium Niobate that has an array of interdigitated electrodes on the top, and a floating metal on the bottom. Each electrode gives rise to a quasi-independent reson ...

Enhanced-DAB Converter: Comprehensive Design Evaluation

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Mohammad Samizadeh Nikooytabalvandani

Soft switching in dual-active-bridge (DAB) converters enables their efficient operation at high frequencies, where the reduction in the size of magnetic components could result in ultra-high power densities. Nonetheless, losing soft-switching at high frequ ...

Frequency dependence in GW made simple using a multipole approximation

Tommaso Chiarotti

In the GW approximation, the screened interaction W is a nonlocal and dynamical potential that usually has a complex frequency dependence. A full description of such a dependence is possible but often computationally demanding. For this reason, it is still ...
