This paper describes the design and optimization of voltage controlled oscillators with quadrature outputs. Systematic design of fully integrated LC-VCOs with a high inductance tank leads to a cross-coupled double core LC-VCO as the optimal solution in terms of power consumption. Futhermore, a novel fully differential frequency tuning concept is introduced to ease high integration. The concepts...

An initial value problem for a Fractional Differential Equation (FDE) can be reformulated as a Volterra integral equation of the second kind with weakly singular kernel. Its solution can be approximated by applying suitable convolution quadratures. Methods of this type currently available in the literature are, for example, Adams product quadrature rules or Fractional Linear Multistep Methods, ...

The method of differential quadrature is employed to analyze the free vibration of a cracked cantilever beam resting on elastic foundation. The beam is made of a functionally graded material and rests on a Winkler-Pasternak foundation. The crack action is simulated by a line spring model. Also, the differential quadrature method with a geometric mapping are applied to study the free vibration o...

This paper extends the application of Differential Quadrature Method (DQM) for finding the numerical solution of general singularly perturbed two point boundary value problems with a boundary layer at right end point or both end point or at an internal point. The Differential Quadrature Method is an efficient descritization technique in solving initial and /or boundary value problems accurately...
