چکیده

This paper presents the design of a CMOS RF Power Detector (PD) using 0.18 μm standard CMOS technology. The PD is an improved unbalanced source coupled pair incorporating an output differential amplifier and sink current steering. It realizes an input detectable power range of −30 to −20 dBm over 0.1–1 GHz. Also it shows a maximum data rate of 30 Mbps with 2 pF output loading under OOK modulation. The overall current consumption is 1.9 mA under a 1.5 V supply. key words: CMOS RF power detector, unbalanced source coupled pair, output differential amplifier, sink current steering

Improving the performance of UPQC under unbalanced and distortional load conditions: A new control method

This paper presents a new control method for a three-phase four-wire Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) to deal with the problems of power quality under distortional and unbalanced load conditions. The proposed control approach is the combination of instantaneous power theory and Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) theory which is optimized by using a self-tuning filter (STF) and without us...

A CMOS RF RMS Detector for

This project involves the design of a CMOS RF RMS Detector that converts the RMS voltage amplitude of an RF signal to a DC voltage. Its high input impedance and small area make it suitable for the built-in-testing of critical RF blocks of a transceiver such as a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and Power amplifier (PA) without affecting their performance and with minimum area overhead. DESCRIPTION: Th...

A 39 dB DR CMOS Log-Amp RF Power Detector with ± 1.1 dB Temperature Drift from -40 to 85°C

This paper presents a temperature compensated logarithmic amplifier (log-amp) RF power detector implemented in CMOS 0.18μm technology. The input power can range from -50 to +10 dBm for RF signals ranging from 100 MHz to 1.5 GHz. This design attains a typical DR of 39 dB for a ±1 dB logconformance error (LCE). Up to 900 MHz the temperature drift is never larger than ±1.1 dB for all 24 measured s...
