A novel structure that encodes and decodes very high speed unipolar Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) signals is proposed. This scheme is based on the analogy between the distributed amplifier and the transversal filter. By adjusting the gain of each tap and the delay between taps, the proposed device acts as a high-speed encoder (transmitter) or correlator (receiver). The theoretical analys...

A power amplifier (PA) is a key part of the RF front-end in transmitters for a local broadband network. Today, commercial PAs are made of III-V HEMT and HBT technology with excellent results. An integrated system-on-chip power amplifier circuit using CMOS technology for cost-effective and spectrum-efficient high-speed wireless communication presents major challenges because power amplifiers hav...

Abstract- A novel low-voltage two-stage operational amplifier employing resistive biasing is presented. This amplifier implements neutralization and correction common mode stability in second stage while employs capacitive dc level shifter and coupling between two stages. The structure reduces the power consumption and increases output voltage swing. The compensation is performed by simple mill...

The InAlAs/InGaAs metamorphic HEMT (mHEMT) two-stage Ka-band amplifier and DC-30 GHz distributed SPST switch were designed and fabricated using low-k benzocyclobutene (BCB) bridged technology. This fabrication technology takes the advantages of its low dielectric permittivity (2.7), low loss tangent (0.008), low curing temperature, low water up-take, and simple manufacturing process. The MMIC f...

A digital look-up table adaptive predistortion technique using a six-port receiver for power amplifier linearization is presented. The system is designed in Ka-band for a DVB-S2 satellite link. We use a six-port receiver at the linearizationloop in place of classic heterodyne receivers. The six-port receiver is implemented by the use of passive microwavecircuits and detector diodes. This approa...

A novel low noise trans-impedance amplifier is proposed using low cost 0.18 µm CMOS technology. A resistive-capacitive feedback is used to extend the bandwidth of the amplifier. As the structure is inductor less, it is suitable for low cost integrated optical interconnects. In this paper Improved Particle Swarm Optimization have applied to determine optimal trans-resistance and noise of propose...

The first monolithically integrated widely tunable wavelength converter, consisting of a Sampled-Grating Distributed-Bragg-Reflector laser and a semiconductor optical amplifier-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer, is reported. Static extinction ratios better than 19dB and 13 dB using electrical and optical control, respectively, were measured over a 22nm laser wavelength range.
