So, tunable range is influenced by the frequency overlapping of different modes. In this paper we describe a simple but effective method to increase the tunable range of a particular mode of a cylindrical cavity resonator. For this purpose we use a curved wall instead of a plane one as the moving wall to vary the length of the cylindrical cavity. Observations have been made with the help of HFSS.","PeriodicalId":399616,"journal":{"name":"2012 5th International Conference on Computers and Devices for Communication (CODEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133197885","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}

This circuit achieved a maximum gain of 14dB and noise figure of 3.6dB over the 3dB bandwidth of 2.4-6GHz. This consumes 1.48mW of DC power from 1.5V supply.

The process parameters considered here are gate length (L), thickness of silicon film (Tsi) and gate oxide thickness (Tox). The impact of these process parameters on the electrical parameters viz., ON current, threshold voltage (VT) and subthreshold slope (SS) are systematically investigated with the help of extensive device simulations and compared with conventional symmetric doublegate transistor (DGMOS). It is seen that ON current variation with silicon thickness is higher for DGJLT compared to DGMOS. Threshold voltage of DGJLT is more sensitive to silicon thickness and gate oxide thickness as compared to DGMOS. The overall SS variation is negligible in DGJLT compared to DGMOS.","PeriodicalId":399616,"journal":{"name":"2012 5th International Conference on Computers and Devices for Communication (CODEC)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123890760","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 fundamental drawback in designing CMOS digital circuits is the compulsion of maintaining a larger width of the p-MOS in respect to its n-MOS counterpart. This is due to the fact that the hole and electron mobilities are not equal. The scale factor of the p-MOS transistor, however, depends on whether the circuit is optimized for robustness or high speed; the choice of one obviously compromises the other performance metric. In this context, incorporation of a strained-Si p-MOS in such a circuit is expected to improve the performance in terms of speed as well as noise margin. We have analyzed the characteristics of CMOS inverters using a combination of strained-Si p- and conventional-Si n- channel CMOS inverters for different compositions of Ge in the virtual substrate (VS) and have determined that the two conflicting scaling requirements can converge when the Ge content in VS is ~ 40%.","PeriodicalId":399616,"journal":{"name":"2012 5th International Conference on Computers and Devices for Communication (CODEC)","volume":"77 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113939591","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}
