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 Design of Low Voltage LC Oscillators and their Application to Wireless Sensor Networks

Creator:

Guha Roy, Ankur

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on the analysis, design, and application of inductor-capacitor (LC) oscillators for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). First an analysis and design optimization approach for enhanced swing, low power CMOS LC oscillators is presented. A phasor based analysis is used for determining the amplitude and phase noise of these...

Low power receivers for wireless sensor networks

Creator:

Ni, Ronghua

Abstract:

Wireless sensor networks are becoming important in several monitoring and sensing applications. Ultra low power consumption in the sensor nodes is important for extending the battery life of the nodes. In this dissertation, two low power BFSK receiver architectures are proposed and verified with prototype implementations in silicion. A 2.4...

A DC-DC converter architecture for low-power, high-resistance thermoelectric generators for use in body-powered designs

Creator:

Miller, Brian A.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a low power DC-DC converter suitable for harvesting energy from high impedance thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for the use in body powered electronics. The chip has been fabricated in a 130nm CMOS technology. To meet the power demands of body powered networks, a novel dual-path architecture capable of...

Masters Thesis
Analysis and design of CMOS RF LNAs with ESD protection

Creator:

Chandrasekhar, Vinay

Abstract:

An analysis that accounts for the effect of standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) structures on critical LNA specifications of noise figure, input matching and gain is presented. It is shown that the ESD structures degrade LNA performance particularly for higher frequency applications. Two LNAs, one with ESD protection and one without,...

Masters Thesis
Algorithms and simulators for coupled device/circuit simulation

Creator:

Dudar, Taras

Abstract:

Algorithms and simulators comprised of SPICE3 as a circuit level simulator and two device simulators EOFLOW and PROPHET for accurate simulation of new types of devices are presented in this thesis. An integration of EOFLOW with SPICE3 creates a capability for efficient simulation of a system containing interconnected electroosmotic flow...

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...

Masters Thesis
Substrate coupling macromodel for lightly doped CMOS processes

Creator:

Koteeswaran, Mohanalakshmi

Abstract:

A scalable macromodel for substrate noise coupling in lightly doped substrates with and without a buried layer has been developed. This model is based on Z-parameters and is scalable with contact size and separation. This model requires process dependent parameters that can be extracted easily from a small number of...

Masters Thesis
Layout dependent and bias independent scalable substrate model for RF MOSFETs

Creator:

Suravarapu, Ravikanth

Abstract:

The dependence of the substrate resistance, R[subscript sub], for MOS transistor RF modeling on transistor biasing and layout is studied from device simulations and measurements. Though R[subscript sub] is found to be bias dependent, the error incurred by assuming a constant value equal to the DC resistance is not significant....

Masters Thesis
Algorithms and tools for optimization of integrated RF VCOs

Creator:

Kratyuk, Volodymyr

Abstract:

This thesis presents algorithms and tools for the automated design of RF LC CMOS voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) with low phase noise given a set of specifications. The electromagnetic solver, ASITIC, combined with the circuit simulator, SpectreRF, allows optimization of the VCO circuit parameters and inductor layout. This approach gives...
