Improved contact resistivity methods based on Cox-Strack and 4 point probe
Tsoi, Konstantin; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-6)
Contact resistivity (c) of metal-semiconductor or conductive layer-semiconductor in the solar cells can limit their performance if not treated with care. It is, therefore, of great importance to be able to accurately measure rc for its optimization purposes. Many methodologies have been developed for this purpose. In this thesis, various methods for extracting rc are investigated. Namely, Transfer Length, Cox and Strack, four-point probe methods are discussed in detail. Cox and Strack and four-point probe ...
Improved design procedure for double-ridged waveguides
Prakash, VVS; Mittra, R; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2002-11-01)
This article presents a novel methodology for designing double-ridged waveguides by numerically optimizing their geometric shape such that they sustain the two prescribed lowest order modes. The field solution to the problem is obtained by using the finite element method. The performance of the microgenetic algorithm and the quasi-Newton methods is studied for carrying out geometry optimization. This generalized formulation is capable of handling inhomogeneous material fillings in the guide, and computation...
Improved ADMM-Based Algorithm for Multi-Group Multicast Beamforming in Large-Scale Antenna Systems
Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2018-08-07)
In this paper, we consider beamformer design for multi-group multicasting where a common message is transmitted to the users in each group. We propose a novel effective alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) formulation in order to reduce the computational complexity of the existing state-of-the-art algorithm for multi-group multicast beamforming with per-antenna power constraints. The proposed approach is advantageous for the scenarios where the dimension of the channel matrix is less than the ...
Improved grating based temperature measurements using deconvolution of optical spectra
Ergul, FR; Ertekin, T (2000-11-06)
The basic concepts of temperature measurement in power transformers and underground power cables using fiber optic gratings are introduced. The economic benefits of continuous temperature measurements are discussed. The problems encountered in high density applications, i.e. using many sensors in the same power transformer, is identified as the resolution limitation due to comparatively large bandwidth of optical filters used. The deconvolution technique has been proposed as a possible solution to improve a...
Improved effective damping equation for equivalent linear analysis of seismic-isolated bridges
Dicleli, Murat (null; 2010-07-25)
In this paper, an improved effective damping (ED) equation is proposed to obtain more reasonable estimates of the actual nonlinear response of seismic-isolated bridges (SIB) using equivalent linear (EL) analysis procedure. For this purpose, first, the EL analysis results using AASHTO's ED equation is evaluated. The effect of several parameters such as substructure stiffness, isolator and ground motion properties are considered in the evaluation. It is found that AASHTO's ED equation should incorporate the e...
