The aim of this work, which will be part of the PhD work of the author of this report, was to evaluate the precision and accuracy expected from bomb-pulse dating of human tissue, focusing on the uncertainties introduced by variation in 14C in the human diet. Such variations may be caused by releases from nuclear installations, hospitals and laboratories using 14C, use of fossil fuels as well as va
In this paper a set of higher order hierarchical H(curl) Legendre basis functions is introduced as a basis in the two and three dimensional finite element method (FEM). The basis functions are divided into three different sets: edge functions, surface functions and interior functions. Two problems are addressed in order to study the $p$-convergence of the representation. In the first problem the e
This paper presents the experimental results of two different techniques, the already known inductive degeneration technique and the new capacitive filtering technique, for reducing the phase noise in RF CMOS VCO's. The techniques are applied to two distinct VCO designs, showing that the largest phase noise reduction (up to 7 dB at 3 MHz offset frequency from the carrier) is achieved via inductive
