The proposed method is well suitable for high-quality high-frequency operation since the Gm-C based filter can achieve high frequency, whilst LF MLF configuration has the characteristics of lower magnitude sensitivity and capability of realizing arbitrary rational functions. The Marr wavelet is selected as an example in this paper, and the design for a 100 MHz frequency operation is elaborated. The wavelet filter is simulated using TSMC 1.8 V 0.18 mum CMOS technology. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method is feasible for high frequency operation with relatively low power consumption.Peer reviewe

Dynamics of ultra-intense circularly polarized solitons under inhomogeneous plasmas

The dynamics of the ultra-intense circularly polarized solitons under inhomogeneous plasmas are examined. The interaction is modeled by the Maxwell and relativistic hydrodynamic equations and is solved with fully implicit energy-conserving numerical scheme. It is shown that a propagating weak soliton can be decreased and reflected by increasing plasma background, which is consistent with the existing studies based on hypothesis of weak density response. However it is found that ultra-intense soliton is well trapped and kept still when encountering increasing background. Probably, this founding can be applied for trapping and amplifying high-intensity laser-fields.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Phys. Plasma

Checking the transverse Ward-Takahashi relation at one loop order in 4-dimensions

Some time ago Takahashi derived so called {\it transverse} relations relating Green's functions of different orders to complement the well-known Ward-Green-Takahashi identities of gauge theories by considering wedge rather than inner products. These transverse relations have the potential to determine the full fermion-boson vertex in terms of the renormalization functions of the fermion propagator. He & Yu have given an indicative proof at one-loop level in 4-dimensions. However, their construct involves the 4th rank Levi-Civita tensor defined only unambiguously in 4-dimensions exactly where the loop integrals diverge. Consequently, here we explicitly check the proposed transverse Ward-Takahashi relation holds at one loop order in $d$-dimensions, with $d=4+\epsilon$.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figures This version corrects and clarifies the previous result.

Topological phase due to electric dipole moment and magnetic monopole interaction

We show that there is an anologous Aharonov-Casher effect on a neutral particle with electric dipole moment interacting with a magnetic filed produced by magnetic monopoles.Comment: 8 page
