Asynchronously coupled resonant junctions for diplexers and multiport filtering networks
This paper proposes the use of asynchronously coupled resonator junctions in the design of diplexers. This is to ease the control and implementation of the external couplings at the common port of an all-resonator-based diplexer. A comparison study has been performed between a conventional diplexer and the proposed diplexer. To further explore the possibilities of the proposed junction technique, a four-port multi-port filtering networks was proposed and designed to function as a double diplexer. Good agreements have been achieved between the measurements of the prototype devices and the simulations
Isometric embedding of negatively curved complete surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space
Hilbert-Efimov theorem states that any complete surface with curvature
bounded above by a negative constant can not be isometrically imbedded in
We demonstrate that any simply-connected smooth complete
surface with curvature bounded above by a negative constant admits a smooth
isometric embedding into the Lorentz-Minkowski space .Comment: 18 page
Backreaction in Axion Monodromy, 4-forms and the Swampland
Axion monodromy models can always be described in terms of an axion coupled
to 3-form gauge fields with non-canonical kinetic terms. The presence of the
saxions parametrising the kinetic metrics of the 3-form fields leads to
backreaction effects in the inflationary dynamics. We review the case in which
saxions backreact on the K\"ahler metric of the inflaton leading to a
logarithmic scaling of the proper field distance at large field. This behaviour
is universal in Type II string flux compactifications and consistent with a
refinement of the Swampland Conjecture. The critical point at which this
behaviour appears depends on the mass hierarchy between the inflaton and the
saxions. However, in tractable compactifications, such a hierarchy cannot be
realised without leaving the regime of validity of the effective theory,
disfavouring transplanckian excursions in string theory.Comment: Proceedings prepared for the "Workshop on Geometry and Physics",

Alleviating Interference through Cognitive Radio for LTE-Advanced Network
In the LTE-Advanced network, some femtocells are deployed within a macroecell for improving throughput of indoor user equipments (UEs), which are referred to as femtocell UEs (FUEs). Cross-tier interference is an important issue in this deployment, which may significantly impact signal quality between Macrocell Base Stations (MBSs) and Macrocell User Equipments (MUEs), especially for MUEs near the femtocell. To relieve this problem, the Third Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution-Advanced (3GPP LTE-Advanced) de fined the cognitive radio enhanced femtocell to coordinate interference for LTE-Advanced Network. Cognitive radio femtocells have the ability to sense radio environment to obtain radio parameters. In this paper, we investigated the performance of existing schemes based on fractional frequency reuse. Therefore, we proposed a scheme with cognitive radio technology to improve the performance of fractional fre-quency reuse scheme. Simulation results showed that our scheme can effectively enhance average downlink throughput of FUEs as well as the total downlink throughput in LTE-Advanced Networks
