  • A self-calibrated, reconfigurable RF LNA

    Creator:
    Jayaraman, Karthik
    Abstract:
    Modern wireless System-on-Chips (SoCs), such as mobile handsets, sensor networks, and mm-wave systems, integrate an entire RF system on a single CMOS chip. Such highly complex systems require significant on-chip digital signal processing to help improve the performance of highly sensitive analog/RF components. The IC market being competitive, the ability...

  • Energy-efficient, short-range ultra-wideband radio transceivers

    Creator:
    Hu, Changhui
    Abstract:
    Short-range wireless communications continually attract interest from both industry and academia, and it is changing our life in every aspect in the last decade. The design of wireless transceivers is the bottleneck for variety applications, due to RF modeling inaccuracy, stringent FCC regulations over the transmitted power spectrum, interference, multi-path...

  • Techniques for improving timing accuracy of multi-gigahertz track/hold circuits

    Creator:
    Wang, Jingguang
    Abstract:
    Multi-Gigahertz sampling rate Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC) with 5-8 bits resolution are used in many signal communication applications. Unfortunately, the performance of the high speed ADC is limited by the timing accuracy of the sampling clock. A small sampling uncertainty can cause a large error in the sampled voltage and result...

  • Analysis and design on low-power multi-Gb/s serial links

    Creator:
    Hu, Kangmin
    Abstract:
    High speed serial links are critical components for addressing the growing demand for I/O bandwidth in next-generation computing applications, such as many-core systems, backplane and optical data communications. Due to continued process scaling and circuit innovations, today's CMOS serial link transceivers can achieve tens of Gb/s per pin. However, most...

  • Measurement and characterization of ultra-wideband wireless interconnects within active computing systems

    Creator:
    Woracheewan, Sirikarn
    Abstract:
    Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio has become an attractive alternative for wireless communications due to the robustness to multipath fading, low power transmission, mostly-digital implementation, and low cost. Furthermore, short-range, high data-rates applications are possible with UWB radios due to the wide spectral allocations at 3.1 - 10.6 GHz. This thesis presents...
