The variable comparator offset technique enables the same comparator group to be utilized in both coarse and fine conversion phases; therefore, high resolution can be obtained with a small number of comparators. The offset current injector is added to the comparator, resulting in a variable offset. Moreover, variable offset averaging is also introduced. These techniques can change the standard deviation of the comparator group from 130 to 5 mV. The simulation results show that an average effective number of bits of 10 can be obtained when 255 × 9 comparators are used.","PeriodicalId":283714,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Symposium on Radio-Frequency Integration Technology (RFIT)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117247379","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}

We then consider a long transmission line, along which multiple LH circuits are periodically inserted. By extending the formula, we explore how the total Poincaré length behaves when we sweep the load impedance and the number of segments. Results reveal the condition for achieving the minimum total Poincaré length.","PeriodicalId":283714,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Symposium on Radio-Frequency Integration Technology (RFIT)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129942162","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}
