  • Substrate noise coupling in ring oscillator-based phase locked loops

    Creator:
    Shreeve, Robert
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, the performance degradation of a phase-locked loop due to substrate noise is examined. A new analytical equivalent circuit model for substrate noise coupling is derived for a heavily doped silicon substrate. The model has been validated with measured data from a 0.35 μm CMOS process. Since the...

  • 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....

  • 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,...
