The simulated and measured results show that the printed antenna achieves a broad impedance bandwidth of 3.1–11.1 GHz for the 10-dB return loss. This antenna features the stable omni-directional radiation patterns over the impedance bandwidth. Using the current distribution modes the influence of the radiator cut on the radiation performance is analyzed. It is indicated that the notched radiator can improve the pattern bandwidth due to the enhanced standing-wave current by the cut at the high frequency. Compared with the cut depth, the cut width performs more important functions on the radiation characteristics. To maintain the similar radiating performance, the width of the residual lower-side patch of the notched radiator must be larger than one eighth of the high-frequency resonant wavelength.","PeriodicalId":217369,"journal":{"name":"2009 Asia Pacific Conference on Postgraduate Research in Microelectronics & Electronics (PrimeAsia)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121580628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed mixer is based on folded double-balanced Gilbert cell and employs following techniques: two cross-coupling capacitors at the transconductance stage enhance conversion gain and reduce input noise; two choke inductors reduce flicker noise from the switch quad; tuning capacitors and resistors are added to fit different UWB bands. Designed in SMIC 0.13 µm CMOS process, post-simulation results show a conversion gain of 8.2 to 9.7 dB, a single-sideband noise figure of 10.4 to 12.4 dB, and an input third-order intercept point of −3.2 to −1.2 dBm over 3.1∼4.8 GHz band. The mixer core dissipates 3.7 mW under 1.2 V supply, and the total area of the layout is 0.81×0.5 mm2. Based on the proposed topology, an overall 3.1∼10.6 GHz MB-OFDM UWB mixer can be designed with barely any more power consumption and circuit complexity.","PeriodicalId":217369,"journal":{"name":"2009 Asia Pacific Conference on Postgraduate Research in Microelectronics & Electronics (PrimeAsia)","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124323621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Second, the KCMs of the target model and the candidates are normalized to a same integer to increase calculation accuracy.

The problem is discussed in terms of software and hardware. In software, the bicubic interpolation is introduced, while in hardware, the subpixel imaging method is utilized. The subpixel imaging method integrates two uniform linear CCDs staggered by half dimension of pixel in one device. In operation, the line frequency is doubled. At last, the collected data is interweaved to synthesize a high resolution image. The two methods, bicubic interpolation and subpixel imaging, are simulated with Matlab7.0.1. The qualitative and quantitative analyses are given. The simulated results of lanczos and cubic spline interpolation methods are given simultaneously to show the performance of interpolation. The simulation result shows that the result images quality becomes better in both methods, but compared with bicubic interpolation method, the synthesized image PSNR gained from sub-pixel imaging is averagely enhanced by 2.1682dB, while the elapsed time is reduced to be about one forth. The subpixel imaging method could significantly mitigate the image blur introduced by under-sample.","PeriodicalId":217369,"journal":{"name":"2009 Asia Pacific Conference on Postgraduate Research in Microelectronics & Electronics (PrimeAsia)","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132527489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
