A 900-MHz CMOS Bandpass Amplifier for Wireless Receivers
This dissertation describes the design of a CMOS 900-MHz bandpass amplifier that is suitable for RF transceivers. The work employs the state-of-art inductive degeneration techniques to minimize the noise figure and explores the use of lossy spiral inductors in high frequency circuit to realize input matching networks on-chip. A Q-compensation circuit is included to achieve a 25-MHz 3-dB bandwid...
متن کاملNote: atmospheric point discharge current measurements using a temperature-compensated logarithmic current amplifier.
Measurements of atmospheric corona currents have been made for over 100 years to indicate the atmospheric electric field. Corona currents vary substantially, in polarity and in magnitude. The instrument described here uses a sharp point sensor connected to a temperature compensated bi-polar logarithmic current amplifier. Calibrations over a range of currents from ±10 fA to ±3 μA and across ±20 ...
متن کاملA 50-MHz Multibit Sigma–Delta Modulator for 12-b 2-MHz A/D Conversion
Oversampling techniques offer several advantages for the implementation of high-resolution analog-to-digital (A/D) converters in VLSI technologies. This paper examines the application of oversampling techniques to A/D conversion at rates exceeding 1 MHz. A cascaded multibit sigma-delta (2A) modulator that substantially reduces the oversampling ratio required for 12-b conversion while avoiding s...
متن کاملTwo Baseband Logarithmic Amplifier Designs Using Parallel Feedback Amplifier Cells
In this work, parallel feedback amplifiers (PFAs) are presented as a means of generating ultra broadband logarithmic amplifiers. The low frequency gain equations and an AC model of PFAs are given. A circuit is presented for automatic, on-chip DC offset error reduction. In addition, circuits for achieving temperature and process stable, high power, low noise logarithmic amplifiers are described....
متن کاملLaser Amplifier Development for IPDA Lidar measurements of CO2 from Space
Accurate global measurements of tropospheric CO2 mixing ratios are needed to better understand the global carbon cycle and the CO2 exchange between land, oceans and atmosphere. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is developing a pulsed lidar approach for an integrated path differential absorption (IPDA) lidar as a candidate for the NASA’s planned ASCENDS mission to allow global measurements...
