A radix-based calibration technique was previously proposed with a two-stage algorithmic analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The objective of this work is to verify the capability of radix-based calibration for a true m ...

A tuning technique which tunes the continuous time filter very accurately is proposed in this thesis. This technique overcomes the problem of master slave mismatch, thus tuning the filter accurately. The mismatch minimiz ...

The exponential rate of advances in modern communication devices in the last several years have brought us higher levels of functionality and performance as well as reductions in physical size and power consumption. To ...

It has been verified by theoretical analysis, circuit simulation and test that two switch transistors in parallel in a simple sample and hold circuit can be achieve high speed with low error voltage due to charge injec ...

In this thesis, the literature relating to charge pump dc-dc converters and their uses is reviewed. Charge pumps are useful in many circuits, including low-voltage circuits, dynamic random access memory circuits, switc ...

Low noise oscillators are universally needed in digital systems for clock generation and synchronization, and in radio-frequency communication front-ends for frequency up- and down-conversion. Noise in oscillators result ...

A digital phase locked loop (DPLL) and a statistical time-to-digital converter (STDC) were previously fabricated in a 0.35µm, 3.3V SOI CMOS process. This work summarizes these designs and characterizes the measure ...

This thesis presents a continuous time bandpass delta sigma modulator with frequency translation inside the delta sigma loop. The input IF signal is down converted to baseband after amplification by a low Q, wideband b ...

This thesis presents methods to reduce the effects of finite opamp DC gain, output voltage swing limitations in opamps, and component mismatches. The primary contribution of this thesis is a new switched-capacitor method ...

In recent years, there has been an extensive effort to develop low-cost implementations of radio frequency integrated circuits for consumer applications. This thesis is a research effort in the design and implementatio ...
