Characterization of High Q Transmission Line Structure for Advanced CMOS Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new transmission line structure is presented in this work for advanced CMOS processes. This structure has a high quality factor and low attenuation. It allows slow-waves to propagate which results in low dispersion for a given characteristic impedance. It is also designed to satisfy the stringent density requirements of advanced CMOS processes. A model is developed to characterize this structure by analyzing the physical current flowing in the substrate and the shield structure. Test structures were fabricated using CMOS 90 nm process technology with measurements made up to 110 GHz using a transmission-reflection module on a network analyzer. The results correspond well to the proposed model. key words: transmission line, slow-waves, quality-factor, attenuation, CMOS

On the Variations of Shunt Characterization Technique of Decoupling Transmission Line for Millimeter-Wave CMOS Applications
Abstract Decoupling transmission line (TL) is a low characteristic impedance TL that is used for isolating DC and RF signals in millimeter-wave CMOS circuits. Low characteristic impedance makes the direct measurements difficult for characterization. A shunt characterization method is presented for the characterization. In this method, the S-parameters are calculated directly. Nevertheless, the ...
متن کاملPhase Frequency Detector Using Transmission Gates for High Speed Applications
In this paper a new phase-frequency detector is proposed using transmission gates which can detect phase difference less than 500ps. In other word, the proposed Phase-frequency Detector (PFD) can work in frequencies higher than 1.7 GHz, whereas a conventional PFD operates at frequencies less than 1.1 GHz. This new architecture is designed in TSMC 0.13um CMOS Technology. Also, the proposed PFD a...

In this paper a transformerless Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) to increase the power capacity of a 230 kV transmission line is proposed. In order to eliminate the transformer, a 15-level cascade H Bridge (CHB) inverter is employed within the proposed compensator structure to inject reactive power to the transmission line. The theory of instantaneous p-q power using in the compensa...

A distributed waveform generator (DWG) with DAC-assisted pulse generators is presented for the ultrafast waveform generation. It time-interleaves multiple pulse generators, and uses an on-chip transmission line for wideband pulse combining. Each unit pulse generator adopts a new currentsteering topology which incorporates the edge combiner into the conventional current-steering structure for hi...
متن کاملA Novel Structure for Realization of a Pseudo Two Path Band-Pass Filter
In this paper, a modified auto zeroed integrator is used to design and simulate a low-voltage high-Q switched capacitor pseudo 2-path filter. The filter is a sixth–order Chebyshev band-pass filter operating at sampling frequency of 1MHz and center frequency of 250 kHz with a quality factor of 50. The proposed filter has both low-voltage and high speed properties of the auto zeroed integrators ...
