A Temperature Compensation Voltage Controlled Oscillator Using a Complementary to Absolute Temperature Voltage Reference
This paper presents a temperature compensation voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based on Cross-Coupled pair and Colpitts structures which is suitable for military fields. Also, two inductors have been used for increasing the negative conductance. By using this method, start-up condition has been improved. Two varactors and a simple capacitor bank are applied for covering a wide tunning range...
متن کاملA Micromachined RF Low Phase Noise Voltage-Controlled Oscillator For Wireless Communications
An RF low phase noise voltage-controlled oscillator is implemented with micromachined IC-compatible variable capacitors and three-dimensional coil inductor. Unlike conventional on-chip passive devices, the micromachined variable capacitors achieve a high-Q value above 60 at 1 GHz with a 15% tuning range for a nominal 2 pF capacitance with 3 V tuning voltage. Three-dimensional inductors minimize...
متن کاملTracking and Shape Control of a Micro-cantilever using Electrostatic Actuation
In this paper the problems of state estimation, tracking control and shape control in a micro-cantilever beam with nonlinear electrostatic actuation are investigated. The system’s partial differential equation of motion is converted into a set of ordinary differential equations by projection method. Observabillity of the system is proven and a state estimation system is designed using extended ...
متن کاملA Low-Noise RF Voltage-Controlled Oscillator Using On-Chip High-Q Three-Dimensional Coil Inductor and Micromachined Variable Capacitor
A RF voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) employs an onchip, high-Q, three-dimensional (3-D) coil inductor and micromachined variable capacitor for frequency tuning. Unlike conventional spiral inductors, the 3-D inductor minimizes the substrate loss and achieves a record Q of 30 at 1 GHz. The micromachined variable capacitor achieves a 15% tuning range with a nominal 2pF capacitance and a Q valu...
متن کاملPush/pull actuation using opto-electrowetting
It is shown theoretically and experimentally that opto-electrowetting may be used for both pulling and pushing liquid droplets. A theoretical nalysis based on the Lippmann-equation and an electronic equivalent circuit model allows definition of a voltage and frequency range for which ushing may be achieved, a novelty in electrowetting-based actuation. Experimental confirmation of the effect dem...
