Sine-shaping of feedback DAC current in continuous-time Σ∆ ADCs is an effective solution to enhance their immunity to clock jitter. In this paper, a simple mixer circuit for producing a sine-shaped output in continuous-time Σ∆ ADCs is introduced. The proposed solution does not need extra clock source or synchronization circuit, as the mixer utilizes the same clock applied to the comparator. It ...

We present developments in the Unicorn-HPC framework for unified continuum mechanics, enabling adaptive finite element computation of fluid-structure interaction, and an overview of the larger FEniCS-HPC framework for automated solution of partial diffential equations of which Unicorn-HPC is a part. We formulate the basic model and finite element discretisation method and adaptive algorithms. W...

Abstract—In this work, a millimeter wave microstrip frequency-mixer design based on graphene is presented. The desired frequency mixing behavior is obtained using a nonlinear component consisting in a microstrip line gap covered by a graphene layer. The circuit includes microstrip filters that have been designed to obtain a high isolation between the input and output ports. The nonlinear behavi...

A compact double-balanced monolithic star mixer for Kaband applications using 0.25μm GaAs pHEMT process is presented. With multi-coupled lines technology, the proposed dual 180◦ hybrid is produced and applied to a star mixer successfully. The proposed hybrid adopts the power divider and two types of multi-coupled lines to improve the return loss and isolation at the balance outputs of a traditi...

A theoretical analysis and experimental verification of the signal properties of the GaAs MESFET mixer are presented. Experimental techniques for evaluating some of the mixer parameters are described. Experiments performed on GaAs MESFET mixers at X band show that good noise performance and large dynamic range can be achieved with conversion gain. A conversion gain over 6 dB is measured at 7.8 ...

We report on a 850 GHz SIS heterodyne receiver employing a RF tuned niobium tunnel junction with a current density of 14kA/cm2, fabricated on a 1 μm Si3N4 supporting membrane. Since the mixer is designed to be operated well above the superconducting gap frequency of niobium (2 /h ≈ 690 GHz), special care has been taken to minimize niobium transmission line losses. Both Fourier Transform Spectro...

Mixing equipment must be designed for mechanical and process operation. Although mixer design begins with a focus on process requirements, the mechanical design is essential for successful operation. Usually, a competent manufacturer of mixing equipment will take responsibility for the mechanical design. However, process conditions, such as impeller operation near a liquid surface, can impose s...

A PLDRO (Phase Locked Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) with the output frequency of a fractional multiple of reference is proposed and implemented. The key element in the proposed PLDRO is an image rejection mixer placed between a VCDRO (Voltage Controlled Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) and SPD (Sampling Phase Detector). The image rejection mixer shifts the coupled signal from the VCDRO befor...

A parallel structure for a CMOS four-quadrant analog multiplier is proposed and analyzed. By applying differential input signals to a set of combiners, the multiplication function can be implemented. Based on the proposed structure, a low-voltage high-performance CMOS four-quadrant analog multiplier is designed and fabricated by 0.8m N-well doublepoly-double-metal CMOS technology. Experimental ...
