Performance degradation of downscaled SoCs due to crosstalk from digital to analog
Performance degradation of downscaled SoCs due to crosstalk from digital to analog Piet Wambacq l , Geert Van der Plas, Stéphane Donnay, Mustafa Badaroglu, Charlotte Soens2 Dimitri Linter2 Abstract -- In the last decades, scaling according to Moore's law has led to increased performance and complexity of systems on chip (SoCs). This scaling will continue, enabling the development of the world of a
Multiple lookup table predistortion for adaptive modulation
Multiple lookup table predistortion for adaptive modulation Pere Ll. Gilabert', Eduard Bertran'-, Gabriel Montoro3 Abstract -- This paper presents a multiple LUT digital adaptive predistorter based on a Hammerstein model that uses the return channel to feed back information from the receiver, concretely the bit error rate (BER), in order to train and later adapt the specific LUT gains that permit
Estimation and Compensation of IQ Imbalance in an SC/FDE System
Estimation and Compensation of IQ Imbalance in an SC/FDE System Harald Witschnig, Christian Wicpalekt, Mario Huemer2 Abstract -- Robust communication concepts and/or synchronization algorithms represent one of the most important aspects of high rate wireless communication systems. In this work efficient concepts and algorithms for the estimation and compensation of IQ imbalance in SC/FDE (Single C
Editorial
Editorial Petteri Alinikula We are facing interesting times for RF and mixed-signal design. While integration level and cost- and power reduction are still key targets for wireless transceivers, emerging new wireless standards bring the next set of challenges. As in the past, the required functionality is made possible by the rapid technology evolution. The CMOS technology has proven to be applica
Behavior of a common source traveling wave amplifier versus temperature in SOI technology
Behavior of a common source traveling wave amplifier versus temperature in SOI technology Mehdi Si Moussa', Christophe Pavageau2'3, François Danneville2 , Jean Russat3, Nicolas Fel3, Jean-Pierre Raskin', Danielle Vanhoenacker-Janvier' Abstract -- In this paper, the design and the results of a CMOS Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) traveling wave amplifier (TWA) versus temperature are presented. The four
A low-cost complete system for complex permittivity measurement using resonant probes
A low-cost complete system for complex permittivity measurement using resonant probes Elisa Fratticcioli, Alessandro Ocera, Marco Dionigi, Francesco Orfei, Giovanni Bianchi' Abstract -- A complete system for the on-line measurement of the complex permittivity of materials employed in industrial processes is presented. The system simply consists of a microwave resonant probe and the driving circuit
A dual-band direct-conversion RF front-end with IIP2 calibration
A dual-band direct-conversion RF front-end with IIP2 calibration Mikko Hotti, Jouni Kaukovuori, Jussi Ryynänen, Jarkko Jussila1 Katie Kivekäs1 Kari A.I. Halonen , Abstract -- This paper describes a single-chip direct-conversion front-end targeted for 2-GHz WCDMA and 5 .5-GHz WLAN systems. Several components and circuit blocks are reused and shared between these two systems to decrease the required
TIR Modules for spaceborne SAR applications. Evolution and trends
TIR Modules for spaceborne SAR applications. Evolution and trends Ralf Rieger, Heinz-Peter Feldle Abstract -- Highly integrated Transmit/Receive (TIR) modules are the key for the active electronically scanned array of advanced SAR (synthetic apert ure radar) sensors. This paper comprises system and architecture aspects, critical technologies and interfaces. Hardware and performance results from se
