The impact of high-voltage-high-frequency (HVHF) amplifiers on echo-signal quality is greater with very-high-frequency (VHF, ≥100 MHz) ultrasound transducers than with low-frequency (LF, ≤15 MHz) ultrasound transducers. Hence, the bias voltage of an HVHF amplifier must be stabilized to ensure stable echo-signal amplitudes. We propose a bias-voltage stabilizer circuit to maintain stable DC volta...

The signal conditioning circuit of the electrostatic sensor is a small signal amplifier that collects and amplifies the detected electrostatic noise. Due to its high amplification properties, the output signal is highly susceptible to be defaced by intrinsic or extrinsic noise. This paper is proposed a low noise signal conditioning circuit for electrostatic sensor. A circuit model is proposed a...

Conventional outphasing power amplifier systems require both an RF carrier input and a separate baseband input to synthesize a modulated RF output. This work presents an RF-input / RF-output outphasing power amplifier that directly amplifies a modulated RF input, eliminating the need for multiple costly IQ modulators and baseband signal component separation as in previous outphasing systems. An...

Galvanic isolations are essential in many electrical patient-monitoring devices and industrial applications. In this paper, a low-profile wideband three-port isolation amplifier using coreless printed-circuit-board (PCB) transformers for isolation is studied. The PCB thickness used in the isolation amplifier is 0.4 mm. The diameters of the two coreless PCB transformers are 9.75 and 5.856 mm, re...

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...

To combine the benefits and compensate for the drawbacks of different optical amplifier types, a hybrid amplifier can be composed. The authors consider two most frequently used hybrid amplifiers that can provide better performance: a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), and an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), both in combination with a distributed Raman amplifier (DRA). To compare perform...
