The delay-bandwidth limit implies a stringent trade-off between the time delay, bandwidth, and propagation distance of an electromagnetic signal. Here, we show that temporal modulation can overcome this constraint, enabling extremely broadband wave propagation with close-to-zero group velocity dispersion in switched multipath electronic networks. Contrary to time-invariant waveguides, in which wave propagation implies a delicate balance between electric and magnetic stored energies, in such modulated networks the stored energy is largely electrostatic in nature. We show that in this case the phase and group velocities become independent of the properties of their constituent elements, and they are controlled only by the modulation scheme. Based on these findings, we provide practical designs of deeply subwavelength CMOS-compatible reciprocal and nonreciprocal microwave components, such as delay lines, phase shifters, couplers, and circulators. The obtained results also explicitly show that temporally modulated systems are not bound by constraints of time-invariant systems and can achieve arbitrarily large delay-bandwidth products.

Clustering is the process of grouping similar objects into the same partition and keeping dissimilar objects on different partitions. Clustering algorithms based on Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) have been successfully applied in the separation of non-convex clusters, although the use of individual objective functions limits the algorithms to a reduced set of clustering problems, presenting difficulties in cases of unbalanced, noisy, overlapping datasets, etc. In order to make clustering process more robust, this paper proposes an algorithm based on Minimum Spanning Tree that combines different objective functions using TOPSIS. The algorithm performance was evaluated on real and synthetic datasets. Experimental results indicate that the combination of objective functions improves clustering results compared to individual functions.
Control lops are nowadays everywhere, from tiny devices to robust industrial applications. However, even when only few parameters are being dealt, manually fine-tuning has been shown to be a meticulous task for achiev...

Optical dynamic focusing has emerged as a speed, complexity and efficiency bottleneck across various applications, which include scanning multi-photon microscopy in biology, maskless lithography and micromachining in material processing, and wavefront correction. Here, we present a 32-ring 23,852-pixel concentric micromirror array capable of performing dynamic focusing for wavelengths of up to 1040 nm with a response rate of up to 8.75 kHz, 30 V drive and a focusing full-width-half-maximum to range ratio of 4.8%.
