This technology is mechanically flexible, bendable, stretchable and does not need any rigid chips. Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) technology is applied. At 2 V supply and gate length of 0.5 μm, the thin-film transistors (TFTs) yield a measured transit frequency of 138 MHz. Our scalable TFT compact simulation model shows good agreement with measurements. To achieve a sufficiently high yield, TFTs with gate lengths of around 5 μm are used for the circuit design. A Cherry Hopper amplifier with 3.5 MHz bandwidth, 10 dB gain and 5 mW dc power is presented. The fully integrated receiver covering a plastic foil area of 3 × 9 mm2 includes a four stage cascode amplifier, an amplitude detector, a baseband amplifier and a filter. At a dc current of 7.2 mA and a supply of 5 V, a bandwidth of 2 - 20 MHz and a gain beyond 15 dB were measured. Finally, an outlook regarding future advancements of high frequency electronics on plastic is given.","PeriodicalId":431462,"journal":{"name":"2015 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127213142","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}

An equivalent circuit model of the via-throughs connecting the RF circuitry to the modulator is proposed and its lumped element parameters are extracted. Wire bonding transitions between the driving and RF circuitry were designed and simulated. An optimized 3D interposer design demonstrated a simulated -3 dB transmission bandwidth up to 95 GHz with associated return loss better than 10 dB. A thermal analysis of a subassembly for the packaged transmitter module is performed. A maximum temperature of 74 °C is predicted when copper-tungsten is used as the material of the sub-mount and heat sink layer.","PeriodicalId":431462,"journal":{"name":"2015 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116855016","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}

There are two configurations of NLTLs, the first one is a dispersive line consisting of sections with nonlinear components, and the second one is a continuous and non-dispersive line. The objective of this paper is to study the effect of the line parameters on the second configuration (also known as gyromagnetic line) based on an analytical model by means of SPICE circuit simulation, leading to a great compression of the pulse rise time at the output. The influence of several parameters such as line capacitance, saturation inductance, number of sections and load resistance are illustrated through comparison among different values on the same model configuration. It is expected that the technique presented here can be useful in the future for the design of NLTLs in space applications and mobile defense platforms of compact size.","PeriodicalId":431462,"journal":{"name":"2015 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116912747","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}

Multiple input channels allowed the gain characterization of the hybrid amplifiers of the two proposed configurations in terms of global gain, ripple, and noise figure.

The acquired signal was then subjected to a processing, which has been classified and capable of identifying the animal chewing process for each type of food. This technology has application in grazing, and can be useful in studies related to nutrition and animal health. The classification of the masticatory patterns is based on decision trees algorithm.
