Cover glass behavior in handheld device drop: modeling; validation and design evaluation
Cover glass reliability performance in a drop test is critical for handheld electronic devices. Handheld device drop test has limitations in measuring dynamic response on the device components which complicates the test control and data ana...
Challenges in setting up and analyzing a multi-stress accelerated test
Planning a viable Multi-stress Accelerated Test can be a good challenge. It should start with the objective of the accelerated test being identified. It might be to estimate life, identify the main failure modes or mechanisms, or perhaps th...
An accelerated on-wafer test to improve long-term reliability of a 0.25 μm PHEMT process
Performance walkout is a phenomenon observed in AlGaAs/GaAs PHEMTs (Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility transistors) which can adversely affect the long term reliability of devices that have applications in power amplifier design [5]. Temp...
Accelerated stress & reliability testing for software and cyber-physical systems
This paper considers the topic of accelerated testing of cyber-physical systems and software. It compares the testing of these systems to each other and to classical mechanical/electro-mechanical systems. The impact of the software (and com...
Accelerated life testing of a commercial door handle
This paper describes the test methodology, execution, and analysis of an accelerated life test (ALT) of a commercial door handle design (Fig. 1.). ALT is used to force failures to occur in less time by applying increased stresses to the com...
Antenna for metal body mobile devices
There is an increased demand of metal back cover mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops. This constrains the antenna design and leaves very small area for antennas. Another practical problem seen is reduction in volume av...
Band gap analysis of a novel C slot electromagnetic band gap structure
Electromagnetic band gap structures, also called as artificial magnetic conductors or high impedance surfaces play vital role in antenna design due to their peculiar electromagnetic properties. This paper presents a novel C slot EBG structu...
Design of SIW fed antipodal linearly tapered slot antenna array with hat-shaped dielectric loading for 60 GHz wireless communications
Substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) based antipodal linear tapered slot antenna (ALTSA) with dielectric loading at 60 GHz for wireless communication applications are presented. The hat shaped dielectric loaded ALTSA has gain of 17.29 dB wi...
Synthesis of non-uniformly spaced planar array geometry using Differential Evolution algorithm
In this paper, non-uniformly spaced planar antenna arrays (NUSPAA) of different geometry with uniform excitation is considered for minimization of maximum side lobe level (SLL). Configuring different planar array geometries only by switchin...
SIW periodic leaky wave antenna with improved H-plane radiation pattern using baffles
A conventional transverse slot substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) periodic leaky wave antenna (LWA) provides a fan beam, usually E-plane beam having narrow beam width and H-plane having wider beamwidth. The main beam direction changes wit...
