A Novel Geometry for Circular Series Connected Multilevel Inductors for CMOS RF Integrated Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for reducing the two-tone third-order intermodulation products arising from two carrier frequencies at 1.95 and 2.00 GHz is demonstrated in a traveling wave tube-distributed amplifier. The optimum amplitude and phase of an injected second harmonic and the resulting intermodulation suppression of up to 24.2 dB are examined for fundamental drive levels approaching saturation.

Fabrication of RF MEMS Components on CMOS Circuits
Recently deep submicron and SiGe (silicongermanium) bipolar CMOS technologies have enhanced the performance of Si-based radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits up to microwave frequencies. The integration of RF MEMS components, such as inductors and capacitors, could further improve the performance of key RF circuit blocks such as voltage controlled oscillators (VCO), low-noise amplifiers, fil...
متن کاملActive 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...

متن کامل40-Gb/s 2:1 Multiplexer and 1:2 Demultiplexer in 120-nm Standard CMOS
We present an integrated 2:1 multiplexer and a companion 1:2 demultiplexer in CMOS. Both integrated circuits (ICs) operate up to a bit rate of 40 Gb/s. The 2:1 multiplexer features two in-phase data inputs which are achieved by a master–slave flip-flop and a master–slave–master flip-flop. Current-mode logic is used because of the higher speed compared to static CMOS and the robustness against c...
