Mechanically Robust Additively Manufactured Magnetically Coupled Aperture and Patch Microstrip to Rectangular Waveguide Transition

Creator:: Merrill, Scott
Abstract:: Advances in additive manufacturing technologies allow for the rapid, inexpensive manufacturing of microwave circuits. Circuits made using additive manufacturing are comparable in performance to circuits produced circuits produced using conventional methods such as printed circuit board fabrication, thin film deposition, machining, and milling. Very little work has been done in...

Design of Compact Passive Components and Circuits for RF and Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuit in Silicon

Creator:: Dong, Xuanyi
Abstract:: Emerging fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G communication networks are stimulating the design of radio-frequency (RF) and millimeter-wave (mmWave) integrated circuits for wireless transceivers systems. While co-integration of active circuits and diverse passive components becomes feasible at these high operating frequencies, circuit design is faced with significant challenges due to...

Modeling and Design of Interconnects and Passive Components for Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits in Silicon

Creator:: Zheng, Lei
Abstract:: For mmWave Integrated Circuit (IC) design, co-integration of passives can reduce size and power consumption, increase reliability, and reduce overall cost. However, skin and proximity effects in the metallization are aggravated at mmWave frequencies, resulting in increased attenuation and degradation of overall performance. Furthermore, tight integration of passive components (to...

Hardware-Based Security Enhancement for Near Field Communication and Other Close Proximity Inductive-Based Communication Systems

Creator:: Kness, Philip J.
Abstract:: Several hardware-based security improvements to Near Field Communication (NFC) and Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are developed and presented. The improvements are intended to be used in conjunction with software encryption to ensure robust security. Two main implementations for a more secure NFC or RFID system are presented: a jamming system,...

Arbitrary quadrature modulation source

Creator:: Ferrara, Andrew
Abstract:: This project is a custom output stage for a two-channel signal source design project at Oregon State. Starting in January, I began leading a team tasked with the development of an arbitrary waveform generator via the CreateIT Collaboratory at OSU. Undergraduate students interview into the CreateIT Collaboratory and are assigned...

Equivalent circuit modeling of on-chip magnetic devices based on terminal measurements

Creator:: Gaskill, Steven G.
Abstract:: The addition of thin-film alloy magnetic materials to integrated circuit processing enables a number of novel monolithic circuits. Examples include fully integrated magnetic field sensors, signal and power galvanic isolation circuits, and power supplies on chip (PwrSoC). There are several benefits to integrating these traditionally off-chip devices, including improved manufacturability,...

Enabling metal-fill-aware design of integrated circuits

Creator:: Shilimkar, Vikas S.
Abstract:: In advanced integrated circuit (IC) processes, the metal fill inserted to meet foundry imposed density requirements degrades the performance of interconnects and passive components which ultimately affects the overall circuit performance. Accounting for this degradation through electromagnetic and equivalent circuit modeling is becoming a critical aspect of IC design. However,...

Analysis and modeling of coplanar on-chip interconnects on silicon substrates

Creator:: Luoh, Yi
Abstract:: The electrical behavior of on-chip interconnects has become a dominant factor in silicon-based high speed, RF, and mixed-signal integrated circuits. In particular, the frequency-dependent loss mechanisms in heavily-doped silicon substrates can have a large influence on the transmission characteristics of on-chip interconnects. To optimize the performance of the integrated circuit,...

Analysis and modeling of multi-mode effects in coplanar waveguide bends

Creator:: Senguttuvan, Rajarajan
Abstract:: A novel method for modeling bends in coplanar waveguides (CPWs) is described. The CPW can be viewed as a pair of parallel coupled quasi-slot lines. Bends in the CPW are modeled as a non-uniform coupled line system in terms of their even- and odd- mode characteristics. This modeling approach is...

Inductors in high-performance silicon radio frequency integrated circuits : analysis, modeling, and design considerations

Creator:: Lutz, Richard D., Jr
Abstract:: Spiral inductors are a key component of mixed-signal and analog integrated circuits (IC's). Such circuits are often fabricated using silicon-based technology, owing to the inherent low-cost and high volume production aspects. However, semiconducting substrate materials such as silicon can have adverse effects on spiral inductor performance due to the lossy...
