This paper introduces hexagonal shape sensors that is a meander and mesh type. Modelling, simulation and development of Hexagonal Sensor and the results are discussed in this paper. The characteristics of hexagonal spiral inductor and interdigital capacitor are determined. The hexagonal spiral inductor is a new electronic sensor that can be used for various measurements that produces magnetic f...

This paper reports an area-efficient LNA design using an active inductor which can be realised in various UHF band receivers. The overall low noise performance of LNA is achieved by cancelling the inductor noise through additional feed forward path. This circuit is implemented using 0.18μm CMOS technology with cadence environment and its operating range is 0.4 to 1GHz. Design is simulated in vi...

An analytical procedure for the calculation of the inductance of planar zig-zag spiral inductors is proposed. The procedure is based on the partial inductance concept and models the inductor as a series of a number of parts. The self-inductance of each individual part, which has the shape of a parallelogram, and the mutual inductance between any two parts of the inductor are determined. The ind...

This is a continuation of studies previously reported [1] with the primary focus of optimizing an inductor design. The potential benefits of hyperthermia for cancer therapy, particularly metastatic cancers of the prostate, may be realized by the use of targeted magnetic nanoparticles that are heated by alternating magnetic fields (AMF). To further explore the potential of this technology, a hig...

In this paper a low power CMOS sub-harmonic mixer based on the Gilbert cell for 2.4 GHz ISM band application is presented, in which the position of the switching and transconductance stages of mixer has been exchanged. A tuning out inductor has been used between the RF and LO switching stages to improve the linearity and noise figure, and also to enhance the conversion gain of the Mixer. The ut...

frequency to retain the triangular shape of the inductor current. It will be assumed in the following, therefore, that.the output signal of amplifier A, includes a remnant of the inductor current triangular waveform (except for possible curvature of the corners) multiplied by a constant (kJ. In CM realisation (Fig. 2), the output of the error amplifier V;, modified by a 'compensation slope' Mc ...

A novel modified space vector pulse width modulation (MSVPWM) strategy for Z-Source inverter is presented. By rearranging the position of shoot-through states, the frequency of inductor current ripple is kept constant. Compared with existing MSVPWM strategies, the proposed approach can reduce the maximum inductor current ripple. So the volume of Z-source network inductor can be designed smaller...

This paper presents a new circuit topology designed to minimise the weight of the control circuit required to actuate multiple piezoelectric actuators. It can independently set the phase and bias voltage on each piezoelectric actuator through the use of a single inductor. This is highly desirable in weight constrained applications such as unmanned aerial vehicles as the ferroelectric material r...

This paper proposes an ultra compact LC-VCO. Due to the speed-up of CMOS digital circuits, jitter of ring oscillators is becoming a critical problem. Even though an LC-VCO has a better phase noise, a layout size of on-chip inductor is a problem as a clock generator. Thus, the proposed LC-VCO consists of a very compact stacked-spiral inductor and active components placed are beneath the inductor...

Since fuel cells store more energy and batteries supply more power, fuel cell–battery systems can be smaller than single-source supplies. The 0.18-μm CMOS switched-inductor charger–supply shown, for example, draws constant power from an energy source and supplementary power from a battery to supply a 0.8-V load and recharge the battery with excess power. With 62% – 83% efficiency across 0.1 – 8...
