Further Improvements in Real-Time Load-Pull Measurement Accuracy

This letter proposes a new solution to improve the accuracy of real-time load-pull measurement systems. Since it is well known that load-pull measurement accuracy depends on the calibration residual uncertainty, the presented solution uses a new algorithm to reduce it. Measurement results that corroborate the proposed solution, with respect to the previous one, show the improvements that have been achieved

Adsorption Properties of Ce5(BDC)7.5(DMF)4 MOF

In this article we report on the spectroscopic and adsorptive studies done on Ce(III)-based MOF possessing, upon desolvation, open metal sites, and a discrete surface area. The Ce-based MOF was synthesized from terephthalic acid linker (H2BDC) and Ce3+ cations by the classical solvothermal method. Preliminary powder X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the obtained materials corresponded to the ones reported by other authors. Spectroscopic techniques, such as XAS and in situ FTIR with probe molecules were used. In situ FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the successful removal of DMF molecules within the pore system at temperatures above 250 \ub0C. Moreover, the use of CO as a probe molecule evidenced the presence of a Ce3+ open metal sites. Detailed volumetric and calorimetric CO2 adsorption studies are also reported
