IMPATT DIODE
IMPATT Stands for IMPact ionization Avalanche Transit-Time
Negative resistance is based upon avalanche multiplication and transit-time effect of carriers
Where, Where,
COMPARISION
IMPATT is designed for high power applications whereas, a diode burns (heat-up) at high power.
IMPATT is operated at reverse bias whereas a diode is normally operated at forward bias because at reverse bias there is high voltage drop.
TRAPATT DIODE
TRApped-Plasma Avalanche Trigged Transit Diode
It is derived from IMPATT Diode. Silicon or Gallium Arsenide is used for fabricating TRAPATT Diode.
AB Charging of junction capacitance BC Electron and hole plasma formation by depressed field DE Plasma extraction EF Residual extraction FG Charging of diode GA Constant voltage after full charging
Where,
Where,
in pulse radar as local oscillator. in radio altimeter. air borne and marine radars. in microwave beacons and landing system. in low power Doppler radars.
APPLICATION OF
BIOMEDICAL INSTRUMENTS
The Signal Processing and Instrumentation Section (SPIS) provides electrical, electronic, electro-optical, and computer engineering support to clinical and biomedical research projects involving advanced real-time signal transduction, signal processing, and control.
The new method, developed by a team led by senior research scientist Dr Andy Wright, provides a chemical-free solution to killing harmful bacteria on medical tools used in GP, dentist and veterinary surgeries.
2. APPLICATION IN HISTOPATHOLOGY
Refers to the microscopic examination of tissue in order to study the manifestations of disease.
Specifically, in clinical medicine, histopathology refers to the examination of a biopsy or surgical specimen by a pathologist, after the specimen has been processed and histological sections have been placed onto glass slides.
FIG: Micrograph showing contraction band necrosis, a histopathologic finding of myocardial infarction (heart attack)
Two types of microwave devices are being used in histopathology laboratory setting :
1. Microwave instruments specifically designed and certified as medical devices 2. Commercial grade microwave units modified for lab/clinics
Laboratory microwave devices are designed with exhaust fans and safety features to protect microwave devices.
