Fast-Track Authority: A Hold-Up Interpretation.

SiGe Track-And-Hold with HD

This paper relies on the design of an high-performance Track-and-Hold, intended to be used in data converters for telecommunication applications. Because of the challenging performance requirements an advanced SiGe bipolar technology (f T = 75 GHz) has been used to implement the circuit. T&H measurements show a third harmonic better than -87 dBFS with a 1 V pp,diff input level, 110 MHz – 1kHz s...

Where Best to Hold a Drum Fast

Abstract. If we are allowed to fasten, say, one half of a drum’s boundary, which half produces the lowest or highest bass note? The answer is a natural limit of solutions to a family of extremal Robin problems for the least eigenvalue of the Laplacian. We produce explicit extremizers when the drum is a disk while for general shapes we establish existence and necessary conditions, and we build a...

Is There a Hold–up Problem?

Most literature on the hold–up problem assumes that ex post bargaining outcomes are insensitive to prior investment costs. However, many bargaining procedures admit multiple equilibria and hence allow investment costs to affect bargaining outcomes. On the other hand, multiplicity of equilibria leaves scope for coordination failure. We report on three experiments in which unilateral investment i...

Interpretation and Authority in State Constitutionalism

designing a fast locking pll

a phase-locked loop (pll) based frequency synthesizer is an important circuit that is used in many applications, especially in communication systems such as ethernet receivers, disk drive read/write channels, digital mobile receivers, high-speed memory interfaces, system clock recovery and wireless communication system. other than requiring good signal purity such as low phase noise and low spu...
