The proposed mixer is based on high linearity current mirror structure which guarantees a high IIP3. To improve the power efficiency of the current mirror structure, a current reusing technique is used to share the bias current of the transconductance stage and the output stage. Compared with the traditional current mirror mixer, a power decrease of 36% can be achieved. The mixer is designed in 0.13-μm 1P8M RFCMOS process; operating at the frequency of 1GHz. Simulation results indicate a peak conversion gain of 12.6dB, a relatively high IIP3 of 4.0dBm and a moderate NF of 16dB.

The mixer consists of a transconductance stage, a passive switching stage and a current amplifier. The current amplifier with gm-boosted structure realizes a low input resistance. It absorbs the down-converted IF current at the output node of the switching pair and amplifies it through a current mirror. The low noise characteristic of the current amplifier helps to improve the noise performance of the proposed mixer. In order to improve the power efficiency, current-reusing technique is adopted in the transconductance stage. The proposed mixer is designed in 0.13μm RFCMOS process.

And we combined these polymers to a multi-layer membrane to enhance the protective function of such an encapsulation system. Applying a bonding agent between two polymer layers increases the strength of the sample as well as the barrier properties significantly.","PeriodicalId":443634,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE XXXIII International Scientific Conference Electronics and Nanotechnology (ELNANO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124351306","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 equation is cast to the Fredholm second-kind form that guarantees, after truncation, the convergence of numerical solution. In computations, we consider the gratings with shifted layers made of silver nanowires in the visible-light range of wavelengths.

Although these features are proper for implementing in various practical circuits, CNFET-based circuits will encounter enormous fabrication problems due to their size. Two of the most challenging problems are timing yield and reliability reduction. Consequently methods for improving robustness of CNFET-based circuits should be conducted. Considering these problems, in this paper, the statistical model of reliability and timing yield of CNFET-based circuits is presented and then we propose a statistical driven correlation-aware placement for CNFET-based gates. We illustrate that our placement engine improves the reliability and timing yield of various circuits. Following these observations, in our method, a statistical approach is conducted to get optimum timing yield of register-to-register path in a sequential circuit. Subsequently, experimental results show improvement of about 19% in timing yield and 17% in reliability of some ISCAS89 circuits.","PeriodicalId":443634,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE XXXIII International Scientific Conference Electronics and Nanotechnology (ELNANO)","volume":"311 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115235197","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}
