Low frequency noise of ungated GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron gas (2 DEG) heterostructure grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) was investigated over a wide range of temperatures from 4 K to 300 K. In the frequency range from 1 Hz to 100 KHz, noise power spectral densities (PSD) can be described as superposition of flicker noise, thermal noise and several generation-recombination (G-R) no...

We investigate gate voltage dependence of electrical readout noise in high-speed rf reflectometry using gallium arsenide quantum dots. The fast Fourier transform spectrum from the real time measurement reflects build-in device and circuit including resonator amplifier. separate their spectral components by model analysis. Detail flicker is investigated compared to charge sensor sensitivity. poi...

The Community Noise and Health Study conducted by Health Canada included randomly selected participants aged 18-79 yrs (606 males, 632 females, response rate 78.9%), living between 0.25 and 11.22 km from operational wind turbines. Annoyance to wind turbine noise (WTN) and other features, including shadow flicker (SF) was assessed. The current analysis reports on the degree to which estimating h...

Background: Computer usage has rapidly grown. This is because it helps to resolve problems, i.e., encountered in daily life by individuals. Various monitor screens that have been developed affect the userchr('39')s eyes. Screen size is one of the relevant impacts. Thus, this study compared the immediate effects of two computer screen sizes on visual fatigue in Video Display Terminal (VDT) users...

This article presents a method to jointly estimate phase and data from a convolutionally coded binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) signal with random phase noise and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The joint receiver–decoder successfully decodes fully suppressed carrier signals in harsh phase-noise environments. A complete description is given of the software implementation, including the ge...

The effect of device noise on oscillator phase noise in a close vicinity of average oscillator frequency is analyzed. We show that for 1/f noise, the line shape of a free-running oscillator changes from power to approximately Gaussian function very close to the oscillator frequency. The Gaussian regime occurs when the relationship between device noise and oscillator spectrum is strongly nonline...

In this paper, CMOS Sample-and-Hold (S/H) is presented. The S/H circuit is an important component in Analog-to-digital Converter (ADC). In low frequency application, the boost clock technique is used to constitute a rail-to-rail signal voltage with low distortion. The operational amplifier works as a unity gain buffer in the S/H circuit. However, a two-stage op-amp is proposed with enhanced low...

Tantalum oxide memristors can switch continuously from a low-conductance semiconducting to a high-conductance metallic state. At the boundary between these two regimes are quantized conductance states, which indicate the formation of a point contact within the oxide characterized by multistable conductance fluctuations and enlarged electronic noise. Here, we observe diverse conductance-dependen...
