Low group delay imbalance is crucial for wireless positioning technologies such as ranging biosensors.

The measured maximum group delay variation is 50 ps over 64 states. The input P1dB gain compression point ranges between -26 dBm and -15 dBm. The saturated output power is -5 dBm for 64 gain states.

Partially-depleted SOI (PD-SOI) processes must address losses in the semiconducting Silicon layer below the spiral inductor turns, even when high-resistivity substrates are employed. These losses are illustrated with a simplified lumped-element model and an array of inductors with different materials below is measured to confirm the theory.

The maximum measured output power is +9.4 dBm, and the output power remains above +7.0 dBm over the entire tuning range. The VCO has a minimum phase noise of -95 dBc/Hz, which stays below -88 dBc/Hz over the entire tuning range. On-chip frequency dividers were used to enable easier measurement. A single transformer was designed and used simultaneously for output matching of the VCO and as an output balun.

To improve the out-of-band noise performance of the ETPA, Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) on the envelope path is proposed. It is shown that the out-of-band noise is reduced by 10 dB at 100 MHz offset if a highly linear envelope amplifier is used.","PeriodicalId":339730,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 12th Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124970185","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 nanochannel is self-aligned with a nanopore created in the lipid bilayer membrane of liposomes by nanosecond electric pulses. Simulation shows that by carefully controlling the magnitude, period, and repetition rate of the pulses, the diameter of the nanopore can be optimized for the best speed the DNA is pulled through the nanopore.","PeriodicalId":339730,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 12th Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130891486","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 T/R switch and SPDT switch are implemented using CMOS transistors whereas the PA and LNA are based on SiGe HBTs. The designed T/R switch achieves minimum 3.2 dB insertion loss, maximum 34.8 dB isolation and has a P1dB of 28.2 dBm at 10 GHz. The SPDT switch has less than 2.2 dB loss at X-Band and occupies 0.17 mm2 chip area. The PA achieves a small-signal gain of 25 dB and a saturated output power of 23.2 dBm with 25% PAE in a 3 GHz bandwidth.
