High-accuracy and high-speed CMOS track-and-hold (T/H) or sample-and-hold (S/H) circuits are an important part of the analog-to-digital interface. The switched-capacitor (SC) circuits usually contain one or more op-amps whose dc offset, finite gain, finite bandwidth have a big impact on the accuracy of the track-and-hold circuit. Basic correlated double sampling...
The recent demand for wireless transceivers has created a flurry of research into nontraditional
receiver architectures. The homodyne receiver, because of its high degree of
integration, low complexity and low power consumption, has surfaced a desirable alternative
to the well-known heterodyne receiver. However, distortions such as gain and phase
imbalance...
It has been verified by theoretical analysis, circuit simulation and test that two
switch transistors in parallel in a simple sample and hold circuit can be achieve high speed
with low error voltage due to charge injection. The wide transistor provides low RC time
constant when it is closed and...
In recent years, there has been an extensive effort to develop low-cost implementations
of radio frequency integrated circuits for consumer applications. This thesis is a
research effort in the design and implementation of integrated RF CMOS Power Amplifiers
(PAs). A significant challenge in the implementation of RF CMOS ICs is...
Introduction: Recent reports in exercise related bone research have shown increased bone mineral content (BMC) at the femoral neck for prepubescent children participating in exercise programs consisting of repeated drop landings from a height of 61 cm. Increases in BMC from this type of exercise are believed to be the...
As the information-processing and telecommunications revolutions now underway will continue to change our life styles in the rest of the 21st century, our personal and economic lives rely more and more on our ability to transact over the electronic medium in a secure way. The privacy, authenticity, and integrity of...
