In this work, a Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) based on an improved regulated cascode current mirror (IRCCM) is presented. The proposed IRCCM improves the loop-gain of gain-boosting branch over conventional RCCM PUF, thereby increasing output resistance and amplifying mismatches due to random variations. introduction explicit reference in biasing results lower native unstable bits, good r...

This paper presents a 30dBm (1W) class-E power amplifier projected in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS technology. The power amplifier (PA) consists in two differentials stages. The main stage employs a cascode class-E RF power amplifier with a self-biasing circuit. The driver stage uses the technique of Injection-Locking to substantially reduce the input power signal, maintaining a high gain. At 2.45 G...

Gallium Nitride (GaN) amplifiers have demonstrated very high power density as well as wide band width in previous research. This paper examines their use in supplying flat gain, power, and linearity across a large band width. It demonstrates two types of power amplifiers: a Ft Doubler (FT2) amplifier and a Cascode amplifier, both of which require a simple PCB tune. Both amplifiers show 0.2 to 4...

A fully differential Miller op-amp with a composite input stage using resistive local common-mode feedback and regulated cascode transistors is presented here. High gain pseudo-differential auxiliary amplifiers are used to implement the in order boost output impedance of open-loop op-amp. Both stages operate class AB mode. The proposed has been simulated 130nm commercial CMOS process technology...

The history of RF and microwave computer-aided engineering is documented in the annals of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society. The era began with elaborate analytically based models of microwave components and simple computer-aided techniques to cascade, cascode, and otherwise connect linear component models to obtain the responses of linear microwave circuits. Development has beco...
