In this paper, a methodology for designing distributed model coplanar asymmetry transformer on gallium nitride (GaN) process is proposed, which can accurately characterize the transformer’s feature up to millimeter-wave band. The paper analyses transformer-based matching circuit and proposes practical design procedure. A two stage, based X-band power amplifier (PA) reported here. Using proposed...

In this work, by means of numerical simulations, we verify that four-wave mixing (FWM) processes, including depletion and parametric gain, generate a redistribution of pump power in distributed fiber Raman amplifiers (DFRAs). As a consequence of pump-pump FWM, FWM products are generated, as well as a power exchange between pumps, which produces degradation in the performance of the amplifier du...

Deriving a dynamic model based on the coupled-mode and carrier rate equations, the effects of coupling coefficient and corrugation position on all-optical flip-flops (AOFF) we have analyzed in this paper. Also the self phase modulation (SPM) in the distributed coupling coefficient distributed feedback semiconductor optical amplifier (DCCDFB-SOA) has been implemented. Then the effects of SPM on ...

This paper presents an improved linearity variable-gain amplifier (VGA) in 0.18-µm CMOS technology. The lineari­ty improvement is resulted from employing a new combinational technique, which utilizes third-order-intermodulation (IM3) cancellation mechanism using second-order-intermodul­ation (­IM2) injection, and intermodulation distortion (IMD) sinking techniques. The proposed VGA gain cell co...

When a slowly varying voltage is detected the main problem is the noise especially when it is several times greater than the signal itself. A lock-in amplifier is used to measure the small signals in presence of noise. The aim of this paper is to do a digital lock-in amplifier based on virtual instrument language LabVIEW and later on, it will replace a practice of a subject from the Physics’ de...
