The AFSS is a planar structure which is composed of a fixed frequency-selective surface(FSS), a PIN diodes array, and a DC bias network. The AFSS elements incorporating switchable PIN diodes are discussed. By means of controlling the DC bias network, it is possible to switch the frequency response for reflecting and transmitting. Measured and simulated data validate that when the incidence angle varies from 0°to 30° the AFSS produces more than-11.5 dB isolation across6–18 GHz when forward biased. The insertion loss(IL) is less than 0.5 dB across 10–11 GHz when reverse biased.展开更多

The stability of the encap- sulated devices are investigated in detail. The devices with the 10 wt% doped TXO-PhCz emitter layer (EML) show the best performance with a current efficiency of 52.1 cd/A, a power efficiency of 32.71re^W, and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 17.7%. The devices based on the lOwt%-doped TXO-PhCz EML show the best operational stability with a half-life time (LTSO) of 8Oh, which is 8 h longer than that of the reference devices based on fac-tris(2-phenylpyridinato)iridium( Ⅲ) (Ir(ppy)a). These indicate excellent stability of TXO-PhCz for redox and oxidation processes under electrical excitation and TXO-PhCz can be potentially used as the emitters for OLEDs with high efficiency and excellent stability. The high-performance device based on TXO-PhCz with high stability can be further improved by the optimization of the encapsulation technology and the development of a new host for TXO-PhCz.展开更多

Harvesting energy from an ambient vibration source utilizing piezoelectrics emerged as a popular method. Effi- cient interface circuits become the main limitations of existing energy harvesting techniques. In this paper, an inter- face circuit for piezoelectric energy harvesting is presented. An active full bridge rectifier is adopted to improve the power efficiency by reducing the conduction loss on the rectifying path. A parallel synchronized switch harvesting on inductor (P-SSHI) technique is used to improve the power extraction capability from piezoelectric harvester, thereby trying to reach the theoretical maximum output power. An intermittent power management unit (IPMU) and an output capacitor-less low drop regulator (LDO) are also introduced. Active diodes (AD) instead of tradition- al passive ones are used to reduce the voltage loss over the rectifier, which results in a good power efficiency. The IPMU with hysteresis comparator ensures the interface circuit has a large transient output power by limiting the output voltage ranges from 2.2 to 2 V. The design is fabricated in a SMIC 0.18/~m CMOS technology. Simulation results show that the flipping efficiency of the P-SSHI circuit is over 80% with an off-chip inductor value of 820/zH. The output power the proposed rectifier can obtain is 44.4/~W, which is 6.7x improvement compared to the maximum output power of a traditional rectifier. Both the active diodes and the P-SSHI help to improve the output power of the proposed rectifier. LDO outputs a voltage of 1.8 V with the maximum 90% power efficiency. The proposed P-SSHI rectifier interface circuit can be self-powered without the need for additional power supply.展开更多
