The advent of low-cost RFIC's fabricated in Silicon-based technologies has led to the use of monolithic lumped elements which are located on-die. While it is clearly advantageous to have a high degree of integration and thus fewer off chip elements, parasitic losses due to semiconducting substrate effects can be a...
The data is a JSON format file containing the position, velocity, and fish identifier data for 300 golden shiners in a shallow (depth of 4.5 to 5 cm) rectangular water tank (2.1 by 1.2 meters). There are 5000 individual frames (samples of position and velocity) corresponding to video taken at...
