1.9 GHz Compact Low Loss Dielectric Duplexer Designed by Dual Mode Waveguide Transmission Line Method
A new small sized and low loss 1.9 GHz band dielectric duplexer has been developed. 1.9 GHz TM110 dual mode monoblock dielectric resonators, which designed to have much smaller volume (27 cc) and high unloaded Q(5000), have been constructed by using new precise molding techniques. And to insure that we are able to simulate and design optimized electrical performance of the duplexer accurately, we have proposed a dielectric dual mode waveguide transmission line design, method. The duplexer thus designed and manufactured has excellent performanc. The volume is 200 cc, insertion loss is 0.45 dB, and attenuation is 85 dB.
Thin film layered electrode for 2 GHz band cellular base station
A novel low loss technology of thin film layered electrode and its application to dielectric filter in 2 GHz band is described. We confirmed that the surface resistance of thin film layered electrode is reduced in proportion to the approximately square root of the number of conductor layers, compared to a bulk metal.
On the ontology of particle mass and energy in special relativity
Einstein claimed that the fundamental dynamical insight of special relativity was the equivalence of mass and energy. I disagree. Not only are mass and energy not equivalent (whatever exactly that means) but talk of such equivalence obscures the real dynamical insight of special relativity, which concerns the nature of 4-forces and interactions more generally. In this paper I present and defend a new ontology of special relativistic particle dynamics that makes this insight perspicuous and I explain how alleged cases of mass–energy conversion can be accommodated within that ontology.
