  • Scalable Array Transceivers with Wide Frequency Tuning Range for Next Generation Radios

    Creator:
    Agrawal, Abhishek
    Abstract:
    Scalable array transceivers with wide frequency tuning range are attractive for next-generationradios. Key challenges for such radios include generation of LO signals with widefrequency tuning range, scalable synchronization between multiple array unit cells andtolerance to in-band and out-of-band interferers. This thesis presents approaches toaddress these challenges in commercial CMOS technologies.The...

  • Design techniques for low-power electrical and optical serial link receivers

    Creator:
    Bai, Rui
    Abstract:
    As computation power continues to grow, the demand for data transfer bandwidth is also rising. This is reflected in the increasing data-rate of high-speed links. However, the increase in data-rate is sustainable only if the I/O energy efficiency improves as well. This dissertation explores several techniques to enable high-speed links...

  • Design of a 1.8-V 14-bit [delta] - [sigma] A/D converter with 8X oversampling and 4 MHz Nyquist output rate

    Creator:
    Jiang, Ruoxin
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, a new Δ∑ A/D converter is presented that is ideally suited for communication applications. It is based on a single-loop single-stage structure, which can realize a high maximum out-of-band quantization noise gain while maintaining stable operation and thus achieve 14-bit resolution at 8 times oversampling. A fifth-order...

  • Steady-state analysis techniques for coupled device and circuit simulation

    Creator:
    Hu, Yutao
    Abstract:
    The focus of this work is on the steady-state analysis of RE circuits using a coupled device and circuit simulator. Efficient coupling algorithms for both the time-domain shooting method and the frequency-domain harmonic balance method have been developed. A modified Newton shooting method considerably improves the efficiency and reliability of...

  • Adaptive, wideband analog-to-digital conversion for convergent communication systems

    Creator:
    Batten, Robert D., 1973-
    Abstract:
    The exponential rate of advances in modern communication devices in the last several years have brought us higher levels of functionality and performance as well as reductions in physical size and power consumption. To continue this rate of advancement, next generation systems require wider bandwidth and higher resolution ADCs. Additionally,...
