Analyzing Internal-Switching Induced Simultaneous Switching Noise

Design of an S-band Ultra-low-noise Amplifier with Frequency Band Switching Capability

In this paper, an ultra-low-noise amplifier with frequency band switching capability is designed, simulated and fabricated. The two frequency ranges of this amplifier consist of the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz and 3.1 GHz to 3.15 GHz frequency bands. The designed amplifier has a noise figure of less than 1dB, a minimum gain of 23 dB and a VSWR of less than 2 in the whole frequency band. The design process s...

Estimation of On-Chip Simultaneous Switching Noise in VDSM CMOS Circuits

On-chip simultaneous switching noise (SSN) has become an important issue in the design of power distribution networks in current VLSI/ULSI circuits. An analytical expression characterizing the simultaneous switching noise voltage is presented here based on a lumped model. The waveform describing the SSN voltage is quite close to the waveform obtained from SPICE. The peak value of the simultaneo...

Short term synaptic depression improves information transfer in perceptual multistability

Competitive neural networks are often used to model the dynamics of perceptual bistability. Switching between percepts can occur through fluctuations and/or a slow adaptive process. Here, we analyze switching statistics in competitive networks with short term synaptic depression and noise. We start by analyzing a ring model that yields spatially structured solutions and complement this with a s...
