Abstract This paper presents a system-level efficiency analysis, rapid design methodology, and numerical demonstration of efficient sub-micron, spin-wave transducers in microwave system. Applications such as Boolean spintronics, analog spin-wave-computing, magnetic circuits are expected to benefit from this analysis approach. These applications have the potential provide low-power, paradigm alt...

We report systems for network measurements at millimeter-wave frequencies. Active probes are used for on-wafer measurements to approximately 150 GHz. The active probes incorporate monolithic GaAs mm-wave network analysis circuits (comprising a nonlinear transmission line stimulus signal generator and a directional sampling circuit) and lowloss, rugged quartz coplanar-waveguide probe tips. Wideb...

Our network is constructed by assigning edges between atoms which interact covalently and non-covalently. Each edge is weighted with weight given by the strength of the interaction between the two atoms it joins. Covalent bond strengths are obtained from tables assuming standard bond lengths. We include three types of non-covalent interactions: hydrophic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and electr...

The interaction of a gravitational wave with a system made of an RLC circuit forming one end of a mechanical harmonic oscillator is investigated. We show that, in some configurations, the coherent interaction of the wave with both the mechanical oscillator and the RLC circuit gives rise to a mechanical quality factor increase of the electromagnetic signal. When this system is used as an amplifi...

The field of microelectronics has had a profound impact on both the scientific world and on our personal lives. Through astonishing advances in performance, microprocessors have replaced traditional mainframes and supercomputers with microprocessor-based workstations and servers. The remarkable decrease in cost vs. performance for microprocessors has made computing ubiquitous, putting web-conne...

In this paper, a photonic crystal structure for comparing two bits has beenproposed. This structure includes four resonant rings and some nonlinear rods. Thenonlinear rods used inside the resonant rings were made of a doped glass whose linearand nonlinear refractive indices are 1.4 and 10-14 m2/W, respectively. Using Kerr effect,optical waves are guided toward the correc...

The key enabling factor for Spin Wave (SW) technology utilization building ultra low power circuits is the ability to energy efficiently cascade SW basic computation blocks. Majority gates, which constitute a universal gate set this paradigm, operating on phase encoded data are not input output coherent in terms of amplitude, and as such, their cascading requires information representation conv...

due to the expected increase of defects in circuits based on deep submicron technologies, reliability has become an important design criterion. although different approaches have been developed to estimate reliability in digital circuits and some measuring concepts have been separately presented to reveal the quality of analog circuit reliability in the literature, there is a gap to estimate re...

This contribution presents a number of aspects relevant for interconnects and packaging of monolithic integrated circuits, possibly combined with hybrid or even waveguide circuits in the millimeter-wave range. Examples of different interconnects and two realized front-ends are demonstrated.
