A microwave active filter for nanosatellite’s receiver front-ends at s-bands

Tuned Optical Receiver Front Ends

Unified analytical expressions have been derived for calculating the resonant frequencies, transimpedances and equivalent input noise current densities of the four most widely used tuned optical receiver front ends built with FET’s and p-i-n diodes. A more accurate FET model has been used to improve the accuracy of the analysis. The Miller’s capacitance has been taken into account, and its impa...

LNA and Mixer Designs for Multi-Band Receiver Front- Ends

Active Inductor Designs for RF CMOS Receiver Front - End

Inductors are a necessary building block in many circuits, including LNA and oscillators largely used in Receivers and various other systems. Because planer inductors can occupy a large amount of area in integrated-circuit (IC) designs, the search has been on for smaller, tunable inductors suitable for monolithic fabrication In this paper a method, which is to implement an active inductor by CM...

Analog Lightwave Links for Detector Front-Ends at the LHC

Lightwave links are being developed for volume application in the transfer of analog signals from the tracking detector front-ends to the readout electronics. The links are based on electro-optic intensity modulators which are mounted on detectors and connected by optical fibers to remotely located transceivers (lasers and photoreceivers). The modulators are III-V semiconductor reflective devic...
