In the literature, Improved Recycling Folded Cascode (IRFC) Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) is proposed for enhancing the DC gain and the Unity Gain Bandwidth (UGB) of the Recycling Folded Cascode (RFC) OTA. In this paper, an enhanced IRFC (EIRFC) OTA which uses positive feedback at the cascode node is proposed for enhancing the differential mode (DM) gain without changing the unit...

Ever since its discovery, graphene bears great expectations in high frequency electronics due to its irreplaceably high carrier mobility. However, it has long been blamed for the weakness in generating gains, which seriously limits its pace of development. Distributed amplification, on the other hand, has successfully been used in conventional semiconductors to increase the amplifiers' gain-ban...

This excellent mixer performance is due to the high device cutoff frequency as well as sharp device turn-on characteristics. The 2.4dB conversion gain achieved at W band is the result of the extremely high device cutoff frequency of 200GHz. Previous reported results for a monolithic W-band mixer using lattice matched InGaAs HEMTs with a cutoff frequency of lOOGHz had a conversion loss of 13.5dB...

This report presents the analysis of lumped, lossless networks configured to emulate ideal transmission line characteristics over broad frequency passbands. The filter sections are configured to allow for the realization of distributed amplifiers capable of processing signal frequencies extending through tens of gigahertz. The principle advantage of the distributed approach to broadband amplifi...

Class-AB circuits, which are able to deal with currents several orders of magnitude larger than their quiescent current, are good candidates for low-power and high slew-rate analog design. This paper presents a novel topology of a class AB flipped voltage follower (FVF) that has better slew rate and the same power consumption as the conventional class-AB FVF buffer previously presented in liter...

BACKGROUND In animals, fetal testosterone (fT) plays a central role in organizing the brain and in later social behavior. In humans, exposure to atypical levels of prenatal androgens may result in masculine behavior and ability patterns. Normal inter-individual variation in fT levels has also been correlated with later sex-typed behavior. METHODS In the current study, 38 children (24 male, 14...

Arguments are presented for the odderon intercept being exactly equal to unity. A variational method is presented based on a complete system of onegluon functions. For the odderon, the highest intercept calculated by this method is 1− (3αs/π) 0.45. March 1996 hep-ph/9603218 US-FT/7-96 ∗ Visiting Professor IBERDROLA.

— This paper presents a novel compensation technique for low voltage low power three-stage amplifier driving large capacitive loads. The frequency bandwidth of this amplifier is improved due to usage of dual-active buffers in the efficient compensation network while a feed forward transconductance helps to enhance output large signal response. The paper provides a design procedure by developing...
