  • Development, simulation and construction of cost-effective GTEM cells 
    Sinha, Saurabh; Stander, Tinus; International Conference on Radioelektronika, (23rd : 2013 : Pardubice, Czech Republic) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2013-04)
    Gigahertz transverse electromagnetic (GTEM) cells are used extensively in industry for testing the impact of defined E-fields on devices sensitive to electromagnetic interference. Compared to anechoic chambers, GTEM ...
  • Entrepreneurship as an IEEE workforce development theme 
    Sinha, Saurabh; Stander, Tinus; IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC) (2013 : San José, California, United States of America) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2013)
    The IEEE is currently planning an extensive workforce development (WFD) programme through its volunteer and associated networks. Together with environmental scans, potential learning areas and contributing partners are ...
  • A flexible Pcell-driven design flow for mm-wave on-chip passives 
    Stander, Tinus; IEEE International Microwave and RF Conference (2015 : Hyderabad, India) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-12)
    On-chip EM modeling at mm-wave frequencies requires design methods that incorporate the layout and verification macros of IC EDA tools with parameterized EM CAD. We propose a novel, flexible design flow for 3D EM modeling ...
  • A frequency agile switched delay line slow-wave 
    Sinha, Saurabh; Bhana, V.B. (Vishal); Stander, Tinus; International Conference on Radioelektronika, 23rd : 2013 : Pardubice, Czech Republic (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2013-04)
    A mm-wave BiCMOS back-end metallization switched delay line frequency agile filter is presented. Miniaturization of the delay lines is achieved by using slow-wave propagation modes on shielded CPWs, with a standard ...
  • Inactivating pathogenic micro-organisms through microwave sterilization technology 
    Sinha, Saurabh; Stander, Tinus; Du Preez, Jaco; International Symposium on Electrodynamic and Mechatronic System (SELM) 2013 : Opole-Zawiercie (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2013-05)
    Microwave heating as a means of inactivating pathogenic micro-organisms in commercially produced food products in sterilization and pasteurization processes is discussed in this paper. The physics of a microwave heating ...
  • Inline Ka-band transitional combline / evanescent-mode filter in conventional RF substrate using grounded vias 
    Stander, Tinus; IEEE Africon (2015 : Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-09)
    The Ka-band is considered a viable band for future 5G backhaul links. Planar filters in this frequency range have low aspect ratios for substrates thicker than 10 mil, since the required 50 Ω line width becomes comparable ...
  • L-band tapered-ridge SIW-to-CPW transion 
    Smith, James Nathan; Stander, Tinus; International Conference on Actual Problems of Electron Devices Engineering (APEDE) (2014 : Saratov, Russia) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2014)
    A tapered ridge transition between coplanar waveguide and substrate-integrated waveguide is presented. The taper is implemented through staircase metallization across 10 layers of conventional RF substrate with sidewall ...
  • An on-chip post-production tunable group delay equaliser 
    Osuch, Piotr Jan; Stander, Tinus; International Conference on Actual Problems of Electron Devices Engineering (APEDE) (2014 : Saratov, Russia) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2014)
    A design method for distributed element on-chip post-production tunable group delay equalising networks is presented. It is shown that a number of adjustable Darlington C-sections can be used to equalise the group delay ...
