A system for amplifying a signal is provided. The system includes a wave guide and an active loop amplifier disposed in the wave guide. The active loop amplifier receives the signal and generates a magnetic field in response to the signal, such as one that couples to the propagating mode of the wave guide.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a distributed power amplifier topology and device that efficiently and economically enhances the power output of an RF signal to be amplified. The power amplifier comprises a plurality of push-pull amplifiers interconnected in a novel circular geometry that preferably function as a first winding of an active transformer having signal inputs of adjacent amplification devices driven with an input signal of equal magnitude and opposite phase. The topology also discloses the use of a secondary winding that matches the geometry of primary winding and variations thereof that serve to efficiently combine the power of the individual power amplifiers. The novel architecture enables the design of low-cost, fully-integrated, high-power amplifiers in the RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave frequencies.

A capacitor includes a capacitor element, a collector plate joined to an electrode of the capacitor element, and a case accommodating the capacitor element and the collector plate. An inner surface of a bottom plate of the case has a contacting portion contacting the collector plate and a junction portion facing the collector plate. The junction portion of the inner surface of the bottom plate has a joining point joined to the collector plate and a separation part facing the collector plate around the joining point by a gap between the junction portion and the collector plate. The collector plate is located away from the contacting portion.
Abstract:
Provided are a detection method for a myriad of proteins involved in an autoimmune disease with high sensitivity and high efficiency, and an analysis method for data resulting from the detection method. In order to construct the detection method and analysis method, there is provided means for comprehensively analyzing the proteins involved in an autoimmune disease by bringing a mammal-derived protein expressed in a cell-free protein synthesis system into contact with a sample derived from a patient with an autoimmune disease to detect autoantibody production, and subjecting the detected data to statistical analysis processing, and further, gene ontology analysis and/or pathway analysis.

A system for controlling amplifier power is provided. The system includes a voltage envelope detector that receives a voltage signal and generates a voltage envelope signal. A current envelope detector receives a current signal and generates a current envelope signal. A power amplifier level controller receives the greater of the voltage envelope signal and the current envelope signal, such as by connecting the output of the voltage envelope detector and the current envelope detector at a common point and conducting the high frequency current components to ground via a capacitor. A power amplifier level control signal is then generated based on the voltage drop across the capacitor.
