The receiver exploits distinct advantages of training based and blind update algorithms by means of an adaptive mixing parameter. The training is updated using continually transmitted pilot code sequence as the training signal whereas the blind part uses the decision directed estimate. Unlike the existing pilot-based receivers, the proposed receiver employs a multiple constraint to give the exact solution for detection of the desired user. Moreover, the proposed receiver needs reduced transmitted power and lower computation complexity than the space-time chip receivers","PeriodicalId":423693,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125266783","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}

From the floating gate potential, related to the terminal voltages, the drain current and the different charges present in the cell structure are calculated with the MM11 formulation.

CAMs enable searching for a match of a single input with hundreds of thousands of entries in parallel in a single clock cycle. However, CAMs are inefficient in matching a numeric range with existing encoding methods. Two-hot, binary and Gray encodings exhibit a depth scalability problem where the CAM depth required increases with the maximum number M in the range. One-hot and Johnson encodings exhibit poor CAM width scalability O(M). We present a unique hybrid encoding scheme mixing the features of two-hot and Johnson codes to solve both scalability problems. For an arbitrary range, it uses only three CAM entries in depth regardless of M, and has a width scaling of O(radicM ). Therefore, this hybrid encoding scheme can be efficiently applied to CAM-based range matching with arbitrary ranges, while maintaining single cycle searching","PeriodicalId":423693,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126601338","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 present day extraction techniques mostly use a grounded source or common source (CS) device configuration. The models extracted from the grounded source devices are then used for devices in other configurations in a circuit application. This leads to discrepancies in accurate prediction of the circuit performance. This work investigates, the applicability of the models extracted using CS for other device configurations. It was shown with the help of measured data, in the frequency range of 1-20 GHz, that the models extracted from CS configuration do not predict the performance of a device in common drain (CD) configuration. Based on the above observation, a universal gate impedance model that works for both CS and CD configurations for BSIM3v3 was developed. The gate impedance model was then extended to BSIM4 for both CS and CD configurations.
