Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents design and implementation of continuous time analog filters for two specific applications: wideband analog systems such as disk drive channel and low-power wireless applications. Specific focus has been techniques that reduce the power requirements of the overall system either through improvement in architecture or efficiency of the analog building blocks. The first problem that this dissertation addresses is the implementation of wideband filters with high equalization gain. An efficient architecture that realizes equalization zeros by combining available transfer functions associated with a biquadratic cell is proposed. A 330MHz, 5th order Gm-C lowpass Butterworth filter with 24dB boost is designed using the proposed architecture. The prototype fabricated in standard 0.35um CMOS process shows -41dB of IM3 for 250mV peak to peak swing with 8.6mW/pole of power dissipation. Also, an LC prototype implemented using similar architecture is discussed in brief. It is shown that, for practical range of frequency and SNR, LC based design is more power efficient than a Gm-C one, though at the cost of much larger area. Secondly, a complementary current mirror based building block is proposed, which pushes the limits imposed by conventional transconductors on the powerefficiency of Gm-C filters. Signal processing through complementary devices provides good linearity and Gm/Id efficiency and is shown to improve power efficiency by nearly 7 times. A current-mode 4th order Butterworth filter is designed, in 0.13um UMC technology, using the proposed building. It provides 54.2dB IM3 and 55dB SNR in 1.3GHz bandwidth while consuming as low as 24mW of power. All CMOS filter realization occupies a relatively small area and is well suited for integration in deep submicron technologies. Thirdly, a 20MHz, 68dB dynamic range active RC filter is presented. This filter is designed for a ten bit continuous time sigma delta ADC architecture developed specifically for fine-line CMOS technologies. Inverter based amplification and a common mode feedback for such amplifiers are discussed. The filter consumes 5mW of power and occupies an area of 0.07 mm2.

Download or read book Wideband FM Techniques for Low Power Wireless Communications written by John F.M. Gerrits and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultra Wideband (UWB) communications are poised to enable short-range applications, such as remote health monitoring (e-health) and home or office automation. Sensor networks are also suitable candidates for UWB since the low radiated power of the UWB transmitter enables low DC power consumption, yielding long battery life and the possibility to use energy scavenging. Size and cost constraints require a low-complexity approach that allows multiple users to share the same RF bandwidth, and offers robustness to interference, frequency-selective multipath and antenna mismatch. Wideband FM Techniques for Low-Power Wireless Communications presents research and applications that have taken place in UWB Communications over the past years. This book is being published posthumously in agreement with the authors’ former colleagues from both the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) and Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands.

Download or read book Microwave Bandpass Filters for Wideband Communications written by Lei Zhu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-12-28 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will appeal to scientists and engineers who are concerned with the design of microwave wideband devices and systems. For advanced (ultra)-wideband wireless systems, the necessity and design methodology of wideband filters will be discussed with reference to the inherent limitation in fractional bandwidth of classical bandpass filters. Besides the detailed working principles, a large number of design examples are demonstrated, which can be easily followed and modified by the readers to achieve their own desired specifications. Therefore, this book is of interest not only to students and researchers from academia, but also to design engineers in industry. With the help of complete design procedures and tabulated design parameters, even those with little filter design experience, will find this book to be a useful design guideline and reference, which can free them from tedious computer-aided full-wave electromagnetic simulations. Among different design proposals, wideband bandpass filters based on the multi-mode resonator have demonstrated many unparalleled attractive features, including a simple design methodology, compact size, low loss and good linearity in the wide passband, enhanced out-of-band rejection, and easy integration with other circuits/antennas. A conventional bandpass filter works under single dominant resonant modes of a few cascaded transmission line resonators and its operating bandwidth is widened via enhanced coupling between the adjacent resonators. However, this traditional approach needs an extremely high coupling degree of coupled-lines while producing a narrow upper stopband between the dominant and harmonic bands. As a sequence, the desired dominant passband is restricted to an extent less than 60% in fractional bandwidth. To circumvent these issues and break with the tradition, a filter based on the multiple resonant modes was initially introduced in 2000 by the first author of this book. Based on this novel concept, a new class of wideband filters with fractional bandwidths larger than 60% has been successfully developed so far. This book, presents and characterizes a variety of multi-mode resonators with stepped-impedance or loaded-stub configurations using the matured transmission line theory for development of advanced microwave wideband filters.

This book was released on 2008-10-11 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: asakta-buddhih sarvatra . jitatma vigata-sprhah . . . . naiskarmya-siddhim paramam . sannyasenadhigacchati Detached by spiritual intelligence from everything controlling the mind, without material desires, one attains the paramount perfection in cessation of re- tions by renunciation. The Bhagvad Gita (18.49) Compared to traditional carrier-based, Ultra-Wide Band (UWB), or carrier-less, systems implement new paradigms in terms of signal generation and reception. Thus, designing an UWB communication system requires the understanding of how excess bandwidth and very low transmitted powers can be used jointly to provide a reliable radio link. UWB offers systems transceiver potential for very simple implementations. Comparison between UWB and traditional narrow-band systems highlights the following features: Large bandwidth enables very fine time-space resolution for accurate lo- tion of the UWB nodes and for distributing network time stamps. Very short pulses are effectively counter-fighting the channel effect in very dense multipath environments. Data rate (number of pulses transmitted per bit) can be traded with power emission control and distance coverage. Very low power density leads to low probability of signal detection and adds security for all the layers of the communication stack. Very low power density is obtained through radio regulation emission masks; UWB systems are suitable for coexistence with already deployed narrow-band systems.
