We investigate the effects of fading correlations in multielement antenna (MEA) communication systems, Pioneering studies show-ed that if the fades connecting pairs of transmit and receive antenna
The use of regenerators at the nodes of a lightwave network introduces a reliability problem when the power at one node fails.
Previous applications of corona discharges for analysis of failure due to surface ion motion and for design evaluation have generally involved high voltage devices operating above one hundred volts
Failure analyses of the lead-free and SnPb solder joints of high-density packages such as the plastic ball grid array and the ceramic column grid array soldered on SnCu hot-air solder levelling ele
We provide optimal virtual network design models with protection against various physical and virtual failures.
An improved understanding of how materials and processing affect solder joint microstructure provides insight into how to enhance the fatigue performance of Pb free solder joints.
Avalanche photodiodes (APD) failed in the field due to corrosion resulting from water vapor inside a hermetic package. The APD was part of a hybrid IC receiver manufactured by an outside vendor.
This paper describes the goals, experimental methods, and results of a study of the reliability of low-noise gallium arsenide field-effect transistors 1 involving about 1500 devices and 1.5 million
In this paper we describe the application of XMEDIA - an expert system shell for developing multimedia knowledge bases - to develop a proposed family of failure mode analysis (FMA) multimedia knowl
The high potential of optical low-coherence refletometry to investigate the failure mode of InP-based optical devices is demonstrated here by considering two examples of burned (under high optical
