Optical readout techniques have distinct advantages over more traditional capacitive and piezoelectricity transduction methods. They are employed in applications where atomic resolution with a small sensing area is necessary, for example, scanning probe microscopes. In this paper, we present two architectures for optoelectronic sensing based on silicon on sapphire CMOS (SOS-CMOS) technology. We show how to heterogeneously integrate photodetectors, analog CMOS signal processing circuits, and VCSELs for an array based optical readout system. The optical transparency of the sapphire substrate allows for the design of both Michelson and Fabry-Perot type interferometers that are amenable to 2D array sensing. We present preliminary experimental data demonstrating standing wave detection in the 100 nm thin silicon PIN photodiodes available in the SOS-CMOS technology for the Fabry-Perot interferometer.","PeriodicalId":6445,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (IEEE Cat.

An interesting class of such filters is polynomial-based interpolation filter. These filters can be efficiently implemented using the Farrow structure and its modifications. Traditionally, the polynomial based interpolation filters have been implemented by using Farrow structure with finite impulse response (FIR) subfilters of even length. This paper presents the modification of the Farrow structure, which can have FIR subfilters of odd length. Applying the proposed modification of this paper will result in a natural implementation form for even order Lagrange and spline based interpolators. The obtained results provides more freedom in designing Farrow structure based filters, as structures with odd and even length FIR subfilters may be equally applied. These results are extended to a modified Farrow structure case as well, in which the number of multipliers is nearly halved.","PeriodicalId":6445,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (IEEE Cat.

Many schemes have been proposed to suppress ICI, but they are computationally complex or at the price of sacrificing bandwidth. In this paper, we provide an ICI analysis in time domain while existing literatures analyze the ICI effects mainly in frequency domain. Basing on this analysis, we propose a time-domain ICI mitigation method whose complexity is linear in the OFDM symbol length. The method does not reduce any redundancy, and thus has high bandwidth efficiency. Theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that the proposed method can effectively mitigate ICI with low complexity.","PeriodicalId":6445,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (IEEE Cat.

When distributing the system specifications to each of the blocks in receive chain, it is rather common practice to consider each performance parameter separately. However, as both the noise and the linearity performance depend on the gain of the corresponding circuit blocks, the noise figure (NF) and the third order intercept point (IP3) optimization procedure are not mutually exclusive. Therefore, a procedure for the optimal allocation of the performance parameters to the individual RF front-end circuit blocks is introduced in this paper. Optimizing the system performance with respect to the ratio NF/IP3/sup 2/, the maximum dynamic range design point can be found, satisfying both the noise and the linearity requirements.","PeriodicalId":6445,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (IEEE Cat.

Furthermore, a simplified Volterra presentation of the 3rd order intermodulation distortion (IM3) contributors of I-V and Q-V sources can be constructed. The results match well with the data simulated using harmonic balance. Also IM3 phasors of the input and output of the device are presented.

The proposed transform exhibits two interesting features in the frequency domain, namely: a constant-Q characteristic and a steep response for each output channel. Constant-Q implies that the spectral description of the transformed signal is performed along a log-like scale, as opposed to the linear scale of standard transforms, such as the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The consequent variable resolution makes the new transform especially suited for the analysis of musical audio signals. The improved frequency response, as compared also to the DFT, is achieved by its implementation as a bank of very selective filters based on the frequency-response masking (FRM) approach. Such selectivity results in higher isolation between adjacent channels of the overall transform. Application of the new transform to the analysis of musical signals is illustrated through a computer experiment.","PeriodicalId":6445,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (IEEE Cat.
