  • A charge sensitive amplifier for use with piezoelectric transducers

    Creator:
    Magnuson, Waldo George, Jr.
    Abstract:
    The design of a preamplifier for use with a piezoelectric transducer is generally approached from the point of view that an extremely high input impedance is required to obtain low frequency response. However, piezoelectric transducers are essentially charge generators and this fact may be utilized in designing preamplifiers to be...

  • Design of high-input impedance, wideband transistorized amplifiers

    Creator:
    Huaccho Salazar, Reynaldo
    Abstract:
    Conventional bi-polar transistors are inherently low input impedance devices. Transistor amplifiers have been designed which will present high input impedance, but the frequency response is limited to low frequencies, hundreds of kilocycles. This thesis investigates both field effect transistors and positive feedback as applied to high input impedance wide band...

  • Dynamic biasing for ring amplification

    Creator:
    Farahbakhshian, Farshad
    Abstract:
    New amplifier architectures are presented using non-traditional methods of biasing. Time-based dynamic biasing and signal-based dynamic biasing are discussed in the context of new architectures. This includes a new form of ring amplification with a dynamic deadzone, allowing for a structure whose coarse path does not consume static power.

  • On output statistics of nonlinear devices : 1) third and higher order information, 2) quadriphase carrier reconstruction, 3) analysis of point processes

    Creator:
    Sherman, Richard Joseph
    Abstract:
    This thesis deals with the output statistics of nonlinear devices. It develops the classical output autocorrelation function in two dimensions and extends the theory to three and four dimensions. Closed form solutions for the output correlation function in two and three dimensions are given for the full- and half-wave rectifier...

  • Feedforward noise cancellation techniques

    Creator:
    Yang, Bangda
    Abstract:
    Supply noise is one of the major considerations in almost all analog building blocks. In the past, adequate supply rejection is usually achieved with circuit isolation or excess capacitive coupling. However, this brute force method requires large silicon area and degrades feedback bandwidth. In this study, a method of enhancing...

  • Thin-film wideband tunnel-diode amplifier

    Creator:
    Hsieh, Edmund Jui-ching
    Abstract:
    Wideband tunnel-diode amplifiers using common-base transistor stages for isolation were investigated for stability criteria, frequency response, and the effects of temperature and voltage supply fluctuations. For the first time the full frequency spectrum of a tunnel-diode, from d-c to the gigahertz (GHz) range, was able to be utilized in an...

    Creator:
    Chiang, Ching Hwa
    Abstract:
    Three synthesis methods for the realization of the voltage transfer function by means of RC elements and three different active devices are presented. These three devices are a high-gain amplifier, a voltage controlled voltage source (VCVS) and a negative immittance converter (NIC). The VCVS and NIC as well as the...

  • Two-integrator detector for known-signal-in-noise identification

    Creator:
    Albright, Robert James
    Abstract:
    This thesis discusses the design and evaluation of an instrument that can detect known signals in noise. This detector uses two integrators to sense a difference in the received signal between half-cycles of the known signal. The detector is useful for sensing signals in the approximate frequency range of 100...

  • A lock-in amplifier for detecting weak signals buried in noise

    Creator:
    Clinton, Ted Warner
    Abstract:
    It is often necessary in communication systems to detect very small signals that are buried in noise. One device used to accomplish this is a lock-in amplifier. Initially the theory of operation is considered. Then the circuit design of a low cost lock-in amplifier is given. The amplifier, employing linear...

  • A test fixture and deembedding procedure for high-frequency substrate characterization

    Creator:
    Webb, Kyle M.
    Abstract:
    At frequencies exceeding 1-2 GHz, the substrate network models used in substrate coupling simulation must account for the reactive nature of the substrate. Unlike at low frequencies, where the purely resistive substrate models can be validated through DC resistance measurements, these high-frequency models, comprising reactive components, must be validated through...
