Creator:: Bhagavatheeswaran, Shanthi, S.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a systematic top-down methodology for simulating a phase-locked loop using a macro model in Verilog-A. The macromodel has been used to evaluate the jitter due to supply noise, thermal noise, and ground bounce. The noise simulation with the behavioral model is roughly 310 times faster (best case)...

Creator:: Ayers, James S.
Abstract:: An analysis of substrate noise coupling in mixed-signal circuits has been performed in the TSMC 0.25 [mu]m lightly doped and heavily doped CMOS processes. Methods to minimize noise coupling in both the chip design and board design phases are presented along with techniques for accurate circuit simulation of noise coupling....

Creator:: Ayers, James S.
Abstract:: In wireless sensor network applications, low-power operation of the wireless receiver is critical. To address this need an ultra-low power Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) receiver using the super-regenerative architecture is developed. A prototype receiver is built and tested for operation in the 900 MHz ISM band. Lab measurements show...

Creator:: Hazenboom, Duncan S.
Abstract:: Three types of low noise amplifiers operating at 2.4GHz were designed. They are the commonly used single-ended and differential amplifiers as well as a new quasi-differential amplifier. The substrate noise injected into these amplifiers is examined for both heavily and lightly doped CMOS substrates. For the single-ended amplifier the noise...

Creator:: Arunachalam, Sasi Kumar S.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a Z-parameter based model to predict the substratenoise coupling between two contacts in a heavily doped substrate for frequenciesless than 2 GHz. The empirical model is scalable with contact size and spacingsbetween the contacts and model parameters can be readily extracted from simu-lated or measured data. The...
