• ### Transformer-Based Dual-Mode Voltage-Controlled Oscillators

Publication Year: 2007, Page(s):293 - 297
Cited by:  Papers (61)  |  Patents (3)
| |PDF (290 KB) | HTML

In this brief, we propose to use a transformer-based resonator to build a dual-mode oscillator, e.g., a system capable of oscillating at two different frequencies without recurring to switched inductors, switched capacitors, or varactors. The behavior of the resonator configured as a one-port and a two-port network is studied analytically, and the dependence of the quality factor on the design par... View full abstract»

• ### Resistance of Feedback Amplifiers: A Novel Representation

Publication Year: 2007, Page(s):298 - 302
Cited by:  Papers (4)
| |PDF (159 KB) | HTML

We propose a representation and a related methodology for evaluating the exact input and output resistances of feedback amplifiers. Our approach is based on the generalization of the Rosenstark theorem. Indeed, it requires the computation of two resistances (direct and asymptotic) each one evaluated in one of the two ideal and extreme conditions of the return ratio (zero or infinity). Due to these... View full abstract»

• ### Current-Mode Phase-Locked Loops— A New Architecture

Publication Year: 2007, Page(s):303 - 307
Cited by:  Papers (13)
| |PDF (389 KB) | HTML

This brief introduces current-mode phase-locked loops (PLLs). The proposed current-mode PLLs differ from conventional voltage-mode PLLs by replacing their RC loop filter with a RL loop filter, eliminating the need for large on-chip capacitors. The large inductance of the current-mode loop filter is obtained from CMOS active inductors, taking the advantage of their large and tunable inductance and ... View full abstract»

• ### Automatic Tuning of Time Constants in Continuous-Time Delta–Sigma Modulators

Publication Year: 2007, Page(s):308 - 312
Cited by:  Papers (5)  |  Patents (1)
| |PDF (344 KB) | HTML

We describe a digital technique for estimating and correcting time constant shifts in continuous-time delta-sigma modulators. The proposed method is based on the principle that the in-band gain and the out-of-band performance of a modulator are related. If the modulator output is denoted as v(n), we show that the variance of p(n)equivv(n)-v(n-1) is a good indicator of the modulator RC time constan... View full abstract»

• ### An Injection-Locked Frequency Divider With Multiple Highly Nonlinear Injection Stages and Large Division Ratios

Publication Year: 2007, Page(s):313 - 317
Cited by:  Papers (19)  |  Patents (1)
| |PDF (498 KB) | HTML

An injection-locked frequency divider (ILFD) with multiple highly nonlinear injection stages is discussed. Implemented in a standard 0.18-mum CMOS technology, measurement shows that multiple division ratios from 6 to 18 are achieved while the locking ranges are all above 1.7 GHz without the need for additional tuning. The ILFD can be locked at the maximum injection frequency of 11 GHz with the pow... View full abstract»

• ### Low-Power Cache Design Using 7T SRAM Cell

Publication Year: 2007, Page(s):318 - 322
Cited by:  Papers (56)  |  Patents (3)
| |PDF (432 KB) | HTML

On-chip cache consumes a large percentage of the whole chip area and expected to increase in advanced technologies. Charging/discharging large bit lines capacitance represents a large portion of power consumption during a write operation. We propose a novel write mechanism which depends only on one of the two bit lines to perform a write operation. Therefore, the proposed 7T SRAM cell reduces the ... View full abstract»

This brief presents a robust, power efficient CMOS frequency divider for the 5-GHz UNII band. The divider operates as a voltage controlled ring oscillator with the output frequency modulated by the switching of the input transmission gate. The divider, designed in a 0.25-mum SOS-CMOS technology, occupies 35times25 mum2 and exhibit a operating frequency of 5.6 GHz while consuming 79 muW ... View full abstract»

• ### Segmented Group-Inversion Coding for Parallel Links

Publication Year: 2007, Page(s):328 - 332
Cited by:  Papers (7)
| |PDF (311 KB) | HTML

A new segmented group-inversion coding is proposed to achieve current balancing in single-ended parallel data transmission. With minimal increase in number of pins, the proposed coding reduces the difference between the number of ZEROs and ONEs to only 0 or 2. Since the proposed coding is a simple inversion-or-not transformation of pre-defined groups of binary data, it can be implemented with grea... View full abstract»

• ### Periodic, Strict, and Quasi-Invariance in Linear Systems

Cited by:  Papers (1)
| |PDF (193 KB) | HTML

This brief deals with shift invariance in linear systems (LSs), using a group theoretical approach. The group approach is necessary to obtain general definitions, which can be applied to continuous-time, discrete-time, multirate and also multidimensional LSs. Thus, a unique definition is given for periodic invariance and strict invariance (SI) and also for quasi-invariance (QI), a new concept, int... View full abstract»

• ### Estimation of $n$ Frequencies Using Adaptive Notch Filter

Publication Year: 2007, Page(s):338 - 342

| |PDF (233 KB) | HTML

This paper introduces an adaptive structure composed of n coupled paralleled subfilters that directly estimates frequencies of multiple sinusoids. The order of differential equations governing this algorithm is 3n, where n is the number of sinusoids. Stability analysis of this algorithm is carried out based on the application of the averaging theory under the assumption of the slow adaptation. Sim... View full abstract»

Spectral techniques, like harmonic balance, are classical numerical tools for designing nonlinear oscillators and microwave circuits. Recently these techniques have been exploited for investigating complex dynamics in nonlinear systems. In this manuscript we firstly show that limit cycle Floquet's multipliers and the related bifurcation phenomena can be estimated through a spectral approach, entir... View full abstract»

The original Oja-Xu minor component analysis (MCA) learning algorithm is not convergent. This brief shows that by modifying Oja-Xu MCA learning algorithm with a normalization step the modified one could be convergent subject to some conditions satisfied. The convergence of the modified MCA learning algorithm is studied by analyzing the convergence of an associated deterministic discrete time syste... View full abstract»

Publication Year: 2007, Page(s):353 - 356

We propose a Positivstellensatz for trigonometric polynomials that is simpler than its correspondent for polynomials of real variable. Using it, we give a stability test for multidimensional systems, consisting of checking the feasibility of a linear matrix inequality. The same result is used for a robust stability test for systems whose coefficients depend polynomially on some bounded parameters.... View full abstract»

We propose an RF I/Q downconverter including a calibration procedure to compensate for gain and phase mismatch errors. The indirect compensation technique is based on the use of the local oscillator (LO) signal as reference for error measurements. A number of mismatch parameters are first estimated by an algorithm running in the digital signal processing processor following the analog-to-digital c... View full abstract»
