Power Divider Integrated Circuit

Abstract

This research presents a Wilkinson power divider using a common inductor. The lumped topology uses the inherently inductive loss of the inductor as a part of the design, so the conventional resistor for high isolation can be omitted. Therefore, low-loss and high-isolation performances of the compact circuit were achieved. The proposed 2.5-GHz divider was implemented on a silicon-based integrated passive device process. Measurement of the prototype chip had a reflection coefficient below 18 dB at all ports, an insertion loss of 0.5 dB and isolation above 28 dB. The chip size is merely 0.011 wavelength x 0.019 wavelength.

Objective

ตัวกระจายสัญญาณวิลกินสัน (WPD) ในรูปแบบวงจรรวมได้รับการศึกษาอย่างกว้างขวางในช่วงความถี่ไมโครเวฟและคลื่นมิลลิเมตร วงจรสายส่งแบบรวมถูกนำมาใช้แทนสายส่งแบบกระจายในการออกแบบตัวแบ่งกำลังไฟฟ้าความถี่เดียว แบนด์คู่ แบนด์กว้าง และแบนด์กว้างพิเศษ [1-12] วงจรสายส่งแบบรวมโดยทั่วไปจะอยู่ในรูปแบบของสายส่งแบบขวามือ (หรือแบบธรรมดา) แต่สายส่งแบบซ้ายมือและแบบผสมขวา/ซ้ายมือก็พบได้ในแอปพลิเคชันต่างๆ มากมายเช่นกัน [13] ในการวิจัยนี้ เราจะเสนอวิธีการออกแบบใหม่โดยใช้ตัวเหนี่ยวนำร่วมตัวเดียวเพื่อนำไปใช้กับตัวแบ่งกำลังไฟฟ้าวิลกินสันแบบกะทัดรัด ตัวต้านทานในตัวแบ่งกำลังไฟฟ้าวิลกินสันถูกละเว้น เนื่องจากการออกแบบใช้การสูญเสียโดยธรรมชาติของตัวเหนี่ยวนำ เพื่อลดกระบวนการปิดบังตัวต้านทานจึงสามารถลดได้ในการผลิตวงจรรวม มีการเพิ่มตัวเก็บประจุเพิ่มเติมเพื่อสร้างวงจรเรโซแนนซ์สำหรับการจับคู่ ดังนั้นแม้จะมีส่วนประกอบจำนวนน้อยและมีตัวเหนี่ยวนำคุณภาพต่ำ แต่วงจรดังกล่าวก็ยังมีประสิทธิภาพดีกว่าวงจรแบบเดิม

Production of Lactic acid bacteria prototype from Thailand for use as probiotics for livestock animals

This research gives a comprehensive overview of the use of antibiotics in livestock production, highlighting both the benefits and the risks associated with their use. The benefits, such as improving immunity, digestion, and reducing infections, are contrasted with the growing concern over antibiotic residues and the development of drug resistance. The shift towards alternatives like probiotics is explored as a sustainable solution, with a specific focus on lactic acid bacteria (LAB) found in the digestive systems of livestock. Thailand’s regulations, which control antibiotic use in animal feed, are also discussed, setting the stage for the study on LAB as a potential replacement for imported probiotics. 1. Use of Antibiotics in Livestock: Antibiotics have been used to promote growth, improve digestion, and prevent infections in livestock. However, the improper use of antibiotics can lead to residues in animal products and the development of drug-resistant bacteria. 2. Global Trends in Antibiotic Use: Many countries, like the European Union and Japan, have banned antibiotics as growth promoters, while others, like China and the U.S., are planning similar bans. 3. Thailand's Approach: Thailand has implemented a regulation since September 2020 to control the use of antibiotics in animal feed, requiring control at both feed mills and farms that mix their own feed. 4. Probiotics as an Alternative: Probiotics, particularly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), are being studied as an alternative to antibiotics. LAB are naturally found in the digestive tracts of livestock and are considered beneficial for maintaining gut health and replacing the need for antibiotics. The study examines the potential of LAB from Thai livestock (broilers, pigs, and cattle) as a sustainable alternative to imported probiotics, aiming to overcome issues like low survival rates of foreign probiotics in practice.

CAI for Interior Environmental Design, Kitchen Design for Residence.

The Research aims to create Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) on Kitchen Design for Residence for 20 undergraduate students at the Interior Environmental Design Division, School of Industrial Education and Technology, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. This CAI is a self-learning program for Interior environmental design courses focused on kitchen design for residences. The program is designed to interact with students to create learner engagement and improve learning achievement by providing course content and end-of-chapter quizzes. The research hypothesis is CAI: Interior Environmental Design: Kitchen design for residence affects learners’ learning achievement and students' knowledge toward learning by this CAI. The Development testing (DT) with E1/E2 is the criterion for this instructional media to examine learning achievement. The research findings indicate that CAI is an effective instructional media, scoring 71.50/89.00, which meets the criteria of 80/80, demonstrating students’ learning achievement. Students achieved higher scores than before by using Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI).

Turning Waste into Value: Sustainable Business with Corn-Based Paper Innovation

In an era where sustainability is at the heart of business operations, eco-friendly packaging is gaining increasing attention. This research explores sustainable business models for alternative packaging, focusing on the case of corn-based paper, an innovation that effectively replaces conventional plastic packaging. The study analyzes key factors that enable businesses using natural raw materials to remain competitive in the market, as well as the growth potential of sustainable packaging compared to plastic-based alternatives. Additionally, it examines the factors influencing consumer behavior in choosing eco-friendly products and evaluates the impact on profitability and social responsibility. This research employs both qualitative and quantitative methods, including case studies of businesses utilizing alternative materials, in-depth interviews with industry experts, and consumer behavior surveys. The findings are expected to provide insights into the business potential of corn-based packaging, strategies for market expansion, and approaches for long-term sustainability. The results of this study will serve as a valuable reference for entrepreneurs seeking to develop green businesses and policymakers aiming to promote sustainable packaging in the market.
