An Investigation on Aggregate Distribution in Concrete
Abstract: Falling behavior is generally studied by mathematicians. The first study is conducted by Comte de Buffon with name “Falling needles experiment” and is widely known. Buffon researched the falling needle behavior finding the fall of needles in relation with Pi. However, although aggregates are fallen to the mould in cement paste, falling behaviour of concrete is rarely studied considering the statistical parameters of the fall.Accordingly, an experimental study is conducted …

An Improvement of Out-of-Band Suppression in Common-Gate LNA with Transformer-Based Input Matching Network for BLE Applications
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to improve out-of-band suppression in capacitive cross-coupling common-mode LNA with transformer-based input matching for BLE applications. Starting from an overview of the transformer-based matching network, the problematic issue is addressed through analytical considerations and its solution is presented. Transformer-based matching introduces an undesired peak response by an extra conjugate pole pair owing to the imperfect magnetic coupling of the transformer which degrades the suppression …
