CANBERRA， July 15 (Xinhua) -- Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull donated one million Australian dollars (750，000 U.S dollars) to his own political party during the marathon eight-week federal election campaign， local media revealed on Friday.
News Corp reported that the prime minister dove into his own pockets to help fund the campaign， as his party was struggling to pay for television ads over the course of one of the longest campaigns in Australia's history.
The donation was kept a secret from the public， with only the Liberal Party's federal director and federal treasurer knowing about the donation， while it was said to be a donation and not a loan.
The unprecedented sum of money was used to fund advertising in the back half of the election， and came about after it was revealed the Liberals were struggling to match the air time bought by the opposition Labor Party - which is union funded.
Assistant Treasurer Kelly O'Dwyer said any donations were willingly made by the prime minister， while a spokesperson for the prime minister's office told News Corp that "donations to the Liberal Party are disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the Electoral Act."
While the Turnbull office did not confirm nor deny the payment， all donations to political parties in the lead-up to the election will be made public in February next near.
Labor's Transport spokesperson Anthony Albanese told the Nine Network on Friday that it would be nice to have someone with a "lazy million dollars" to help boost Labor's efforts at the election.
"I wish we had someone who had a lazy million dollars sitting in the corner that could just plonk into the campaign. We don't have it，" Albanese said on Friday.
It's not unusual for large donations to filter through to political parties from high-profile supporters， but a personal donation from a prime minister is considered unprecedented.
One source within the Liberal Party told News Corp the coalition's lacklustre fundraising effort was exacerbated by the effect of its poor superannuation policy.
The source said that retirees， who usually donate to political parties， decided not to in order to send a message.
"To say (the super policy) had no impact is ludicrous. Donations dried up， there was tremendous anger，" the source said.
The election was decided eight days after voters went to the polls， with the opposition Labor Party forcing a much closer contest than was first anticipated.

LONDON, July 15 (Xinhua) -- Roger Federer reached the final of Wimbledon championships for the 11th time on Friday after beating 2010 Wimbledonrunner-up Tomas Berdych 7-6 (4), 7-6 (4), 6-4.
The 35-year-old Swiss star is on the verge of clinching an eighth championship at the All England Club.
Federer has won every set he's played in this year's tournament. On Sunday, he will face 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic, who reached his first final at the All England Club by eliminating 24th-seeded Sam Querrey of the U.S. 6-7 (6), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-5.
"I feel very privileged to be in another final and get the pleasure to play on Center Court another time," said Federer who was playing in his 42nd Grand Slam semi-final.
He is the second oldest man to make the Wimbledon final after 39-year-old Ken Rosewall finished runner-up in 1974.
If he beat Cilic on Sunday, Federer will become Wimbledon's oldest champion, succeeding Arthur Ashe who was almost 32 when he won in 1975.

Nuclear research and precision instruments go hand in hand. One cannot do without the other. Any research requires a large number of experiments. Any experiment would require accurate measurements. If the research happens to be as critical as nuclear research, accuracy would not be enough. You would require precision in the measurements. Therefore, the precision electronic instruments such as the Real time spectrum Analyzer, the RF signal generator, etc would assume great significance.
Each of these instruments has its own use in research. We shall examine the use of a couple of these precision instruments during the course of this article. The signals can be in analog or the digital form. You would need a signal generator to generate these repeating or non-repeating electronic signals. They have great use in the testing and the troubleshooting while repairing the electronic or the electrostatic devices.
While repairing and testing the RF microwave designs and applications, you would require the services of the RF signal generator. You can find many types of these RF signal generators. They would be the free running RF signal generators, the synthesized RF signal generators. In today’s times, the latter is more in use.
The RF signal generator has four components in general. These components are the Oscillator, Amplifier, Attenuator, and the Control. The oscillator is the most important component of any RF signal generator. You would require the amplifier for amplifying the output from the oscillator. The function of the attenuator is to ensure the maintenance of an accurate source .
