SAW tags for the 6-GHz range.

IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control

December 2014

Article Synopsis
  • The use of 6-GHz frequencies for passive Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) tags is explored, highlighting a specific inline design.
  • The device can be miniaturized due to an ultrawide bandwidth of 775 MHz while maintaining an acceptable reflected response loss of about 50 dB.
  • The tags were fabricated using E-beam lithography, demonstrating performance near expectations, with a loss of approximately 55 dB, and there's potential for high-throughput manufacturing through a combination of techniques.

Hepatocellular carcinoma usually metastasizes to regional lymph nodes, lung, and bones but can rarely invade the inferior vena cava with intravascular extension to the right atrium. We present the case of a 75-year-old man who was admitted for generalized oedema and was found to have advanced HCC with invasion of the inferior vena cava and endovascular extension to the right atrium. In contrast to the great majority of hepatocellular carcinoma, which usually develops on the basis of liver cirrhosis due to identifiable risk factors, none of those factors were present in our patient.
