    Abstract: Silica-based optical fibers are the most important transmission medium for long-distance and large-capacity optical communication systems. The most distinguished feature of optical fiber is its low loss characteristics. A single-mode optical fiber (SMF) exhibits a very low transmission loss (0.142 dB/km) at 1.55 μm. Together with such low loss char... Show More

    Abstract: Negative feedback is an established technique used to improve the quality of an amplifier. The modelling of the closed-loop circuit is a complex procedure that, if not done properly, may give erroneous results. A new method for modelling amplifiers that use negative feedback over a broad frequency range is presented. The method overcomes the main d... Show More

    Abstract: There have been a number of studies on phased array antennas and adaptive antennas as directional antennas that can be scanned electronically. However, these antenna systems require expensive phase shifters and power controllers, and their construction is complex. Small and relatively inexpensive antenna system, in which the beam is scanned or the ... Show More

    Abstract: Owing to the progress of dense wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology using an optical-fiber amplifier, we can exchange large amounts of data at a rate of 100 Tbit/s class over several hundred kilometers. However, it is widely recognized that the maximum transmission capacity of a single strand of fiber is rapidly approaching its limit o... Show More

    Abstract: I have served the Taipei MRT Bureau over than 25 years, and the inductive current harmonics affect the MRT power system, causing the train to malfunction and shorten its service life. Therefore, I am interested in solving this problem. The traditional solution is to use RLC high-pass filter. Its disadvantage is that it will reduce the power of the ... Show More
