As three-chip hybrids, the amplifiers have from the start been designed to solve economically the problems that up to now have limited the use of off-the-shelf units. Key to keeping costs down is a capacitive-coupling approach to isolation. Any amplifiers so far available with the same capabilities are costly, enlisting magnetic or optical techniques to bridge the high-voltage barrier. Whether ...

Analytical compact form models for the signal transients and crosstalk noise of inductive-effectprominent multi-coupled RLC lines are developed. Capacitive and inductive coupling effects are investigated and formulated in terms of the equivalent transmission line model and transmission line parameters for fundamental modes. The signal transients and crosstalk noise expressions of two coupled li...

Finite element models of increasing accuracy are proposed for the study of the capacitive behaviour of wound magnetic components. Simple models, which are based on the classical assumption of a decoupling between electric and magnetic fields, are first described. Formulations which enable such a coupling are then presented. The models are tested on various coreless inductors, made of round cond...

Global on-chip data communication is becoming a concern as the gap between transistor speed and interconnect bandwidth increases with CMOS process scaling. In this paper a low-swing transceiver for 10mm long 0.54μm wide on-chip interconnect is presented, which achieves a similar data rate as previous designs (a few Gb/s), but at much lower power than recently published work. Both low static pow...

This paper reports the design and characterization of partially-filled-gap capacitive MEMS resonators for distributed mass sensing applications. By filling the gap with HfO2, the coupling coefficient between electrode-resonator increases by ×6.67 times and the motional resistance decreases by ×12 times in comparison with its counterpart in air. An improvement by a factor of ×5.6 in the Signal-T...

We report results on the charging technique of liquid helium surface over rectangular electrodes and maximum sustainable electron density at temperatures above 1 K. Also, thermally activated escape of twodimensional electrons from the potential well has been studied as a function of various parameters like electrons density and temperature. Results provide insights into the charging process of ...

A digital CMOS buffer circuit with a voltage transfer characteristic (VTC) with low threshold voltage detection, hysteresis, and high noise immunity is presented. The circuit is capable of restoring slow transition times and distorted input signals with a minimum delay penalty, offering at the same time high noise immunity to glitches induced either through capacitive coupling or from the power...

Microstrip patch antennas are well suited for integration in to many applications owing to their conformal nature. There are many wide banding techniques used for the MSAs. But many wide banding techniques such as using slots in the patch require an inductive coupled feed (probe feed). But complete planar (2D) processes for manufacturability needs capacitive coupling. Capacitive coupling with c...

A very simple approach for bandwidth enhancement, reducing the mutual coupling and return loss of 1x2 rectangular patches multiple inputs and multiple outputs (MIMO) antenna for Wi-Max operation is proposed. Resonate frequency of proposed antenna is 6.2GHz. For enhancing the bandwidth a simple rectangular slot has been used and bandwidth is enhanced from 3% to 13% at -11dB of return loss. For r...

We present a systematic numerical study, validated by accompanied experimental data, of individual and coupled split ring resonators (SRRs) of a single rectangular ring with one, two and four gaps. We discuss the behavior of the magnetic resonance frequency, the magnetic field and the currents in the SRRs, as one goes from a single SRR to strongly interacting SRR pairs in the SRR plane. We show...
