In this paper, a mixer topology selection for a multi-standard high image-reject front-end is presented. The receiver is intended to work for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephone (DECT) systems (at 1.9 GHz and 2.4 GHz) and for Bluetooth (at 2.4 GHz). It will be implemented in 0 18 μm CMOS technology. A double-quadrature low-IF architecture is employed because it can provide a high image rejectio...

The three existing dominant network families, i.e., CNNs, Transformers and MLPs, differ from each other mainly in the ways of fusing spatial contextual information, leaving designing more effective token-mixing mechanisms at core backbone architecture development. In this work, we propose an innovative token-mixer, dubbed Active Token Mixer (ATM), to actively incorporate information tokens glob...

A 200-280 GHz RF front-end of transmitter is demonstrated in 65-nm CMOS. Saturated EIRP is greater than -5dBm over a frequency range of 60GHz. When the input power is -20dBm, EIRP is greater than -10dBm for most of the frequency range, and achieves 3-dB and 6-dB bandwidths of 24% and 33%. The front-end was integrated with a fractional-N synthesizer to form a transmitter operating at 208-255GHz ...

this study treats one important aspect of starch-filled rubber compounds which is their rheological behavior. starch-based sbr1712 masterbatches resulting from various formulations were prepared using a mini two roll mill and an internal mixer (plastograph brabender).the content in starch was varied from 0 to 50 phr. the effect of starch content on the rheological behavior was evaluated through...

This paper presents a novel digital circuit, based on the analog Dual Mixer Time Difference circuit, developed by David W. Allan, designed to characterise oscillators frequency stability. The proposed digital circuit, named Digital Dual Mixer Time Difference (DDMTD), is capable of measuring time differences between two digital clock signals with very fine resolution (subpicosecond) using a rela...

In this paper, in order to design a K-band commongate Gilbert-cell mixer via a 0.18 lm CMOS technology, thepNetwork and post-distortion cancellation (PDC) techniques are implemented simultaneously, resulting in the improvement of gain, bandwidth, noise figure and linearity. Also, a new method for implementing the p-Network, using the parasitic capacitances between RF and LO stage nodes, is prop...

This paper presents a noise reduction technique using common-mode feedback in active CMOS mixers. The proposed decreases the noise, thus reducing common-to-differential conversion arising from mismatch and process variations. In addition, reduces sensitivity to process, voltage, temperature (PVT) variations due negative feedback. A theory is adopted analyze low-noise performance of technique. t...
