Noise and Blocker Cancellation Techniques for Power and Area Efficient Wireless Receivers

Creator:: Pourbagheri, Saeed
Abstract:: The design of mobile wireless devices has always focused on reducing power, area, and cost. This dissertation proposes two techniques that are leveraged to save power and area and therefore cost. The first techniques reduces the noise in the receiver and results in a relaxed power requirement. The second technique...

Analysis and modeling of substrate noise coupling for NMOS transistors in heavily doped substrates

Creator:: Hsu, Shu-ching
Abstract:: This thesis examines substrate noise coupling for NMOS transistors in heavily doped substrates. The study begins with the analysis of an NMOS transistor switching noise in a digital inverter at the device level. A resistive substrate network for the NMOS transistor is proposed and verified. Coupling between N+- P+ contacts...

Design of a variable gain, high linearity, low power baseband filter for WLAN transmitters

Creator:: Ranganathan, Sachin
Abstract:: A variable gain, high linearity, low power baseband filter for WLAN applications is implemented in a 1.5 V 3 V 0.15 μm CMOS process. This fourth-order low-pass filter, which is introduced in the transmit channel as a reconstruction filter between the D/A converter and the mixer, has a measured cut-off...

Predictive methodologies for substrate parasitic extraction and modeling in heavily doped CMOS substrates

Creator:: Sharma, Ajit
Abstract:: This thesis presents an automated methodology to calibrate the substrate profile for accurate prediction of substrate parasitics using Green's function based extractors. The technique requires fabrication of only a few test structures and results in an accurate three layered approximation of a heavily doped epitaxial silicon substrate. The obtained substrate...

An efficient and accurate method of estimating substrate noise coupling in heavily doped substrates

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...
