We propose a design methodology of a low-voltage CMOS low-noise amplifier (LNA) consisting of a common-source and a common-gate stages. We first derive equations of power gain, noise figure (NF) and input third-order intercept point (IIP3) of the two-stage LNA. A design methodology of the LNA is presented by using graphs based on analytical equations. A 1-V 5.4-GHz LNA was implemented in 0.15-μ...

We present a measurement of the K-band luminosity function (LF) of field galaxies obtained from near-infrared imaging of a sample of 345 galaxies selected from the Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey. The LF is reasonably well fitted over the 10-mag range 226 < MK < 216 by a Schechter function with parameters a ˆ 21:16 ^ 0:19; M* ˆ 223:58 ^ 0:42 and f* ˆ 0:012 ^ 0:008 Mpc, assuming a Hubble constant of...

We study quantum protocols among two distrustful parties. Under the sole assumption of correctness— guaranteeing that honest players obtain their correct outcomes—we show that every protocol implementing a nontrivial primitive necessarily leaks information to a dishonest player. This extends known impossibility results to all non-trivial primitives. We provide a framework for quantifying this l...

Abstrac—Second-harmonic control is implemented in a balanced common-emitter configuration to facilitate frequency independent third–order intermodulation distortion (IM3) cancellation. Experiments demonstrated an over 15 dB improvement in the output third-order intercept point (OIP3).

In this paper, we present the low noise amplifier using new feedback connection configurations. The UWB LNA is design in 0.18 m TSMC CMOS technique to achieve high gain, small size and low noise. The LNA achieved 11 dB of average power gain, low 2.87 dB noise figure (NF), -10.9 dB input match, -7 dB return loss, -3 dBm of IIP3 and only 0.54 mm size with 15 mW power consumption.

This article examines how power and solidarity in family relations are negotiated along linguistic lines, particular, the role of a third language this negotiation process. It takes as its case study transnational Ireland who practise strongly pro-Polish FLP where parents seen authorities Polish their daughters English, dominant societal language. The paper microinteractional approach to analys...

We report a comprehensive numerical study of a type of quasi-phase-matched Cherenkov third harmonic generation in a nonlinear waveguide, and this Cherenkov third harmonic generation consists of a guided-to-guided second harmonic generation cascaded with a guided-to-radiated sum-frequency generation. Following the coupled-mode theory, the temperature-detuning characteristics of third harmonic (T...

introduction: the aim of this study was to investigate the morphological changes of human dentin after erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag), carbon dioxide (co2) laser-irradiation and acid-etching by means of scanning electron microscopic (sem) m ethods: 9 extracted human third molars were used in this study. the teeth were divided in three groups: first group, co2 laser with power of ...
