Through beating the wavelengths generated from three these we demonstrate simultaneous generation LO within bands crucial for satellite communications (SatCom):...
An experimental investigation of diversity factors for CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) in combination with LED (light emitting diode) lamps is presented this paper.
