چکیده
Most modern entertainment gadgets, equipment and tools incorporate integrated circuits that perform some specific functions that make the entertainment experience fascinating for users. From the simple toys for toddlers to the complex game studios in casinos, hardware forms a major component of entertainment technology. With the advent of integrated circuits, and subsequent development of CMOS (complementary oxide semiconductor) technologies, there has been remarkable success in the number of application specific integrated chips (ASIC) tailored for gaming and general entertainment. And from programmable micro-controllers to field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), chips are common tools to both computer scientist and engineer. Consequently, understanding the fascinating processes used in making these chips which are programmed and used in circuit boards could be interesting for all stakeholders in the field of entertainment technology. The design of integrated circuit is perhaps one of the most complex stages in the development process of game and entertainment infrastructure forming a vital part of the entertainment technology. Increasingly, chip designers are discovering ways of implementing functions hitherto done with massive codes of computer programs inside integrated circuits.

In In this paper, two low profile, single fed cavity backed slot antennas providing a circularly polarized (CP) wave are introduced. One of the antennas presents a right-handed CP (RHCP) wave, while the other one offers a left handed CP (LHCP) wave. The proposed antennas consist of a square shaped Substrtae Integrated Waveguide (SIW) cavity incorporatng two couples of radiating slots to radiate...
متن کاملDesign of Mixed-Signal Circuits for Wireless Communication Systems and Implanted Neural Devices in 3D Technology
The three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit technology developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory allows circuit structure that forms on several silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates to be integrated into a 3D integrated circuit. This 3D technology gives the possibility of better thermal and noise management, more compact design, and so on. However, circuit design in the 3D technology has not been f...
