The key-leakage-storage capacity regions for a hidden identifier’s noisy measurements at two terminals of a secrecy system are derived. The capacity regions of binary sources with multiple measurements are obtained by applying Mrs. Gerber’s lemma twice in different directions to a Markov chain to show gains in privacy-leakage as compared to assuming a noise-free identifier at the encoder.

With an ever-increasing number of frequency bands supported by cellular transceivers (TRX), front-end (FE) complexity increases due to a large number of external SAW filters. The challenge of removing inter-stage filters from multiband 3G receivers (RX) resides in the additional noise contribution due to limited transmitter (TX) leakage rejection at the RX input, intermodulation (IM) products a...

We present a small-area second-order all-digital time-todigital converter (TDC) with two frequency shift oscillators (FSOs) comprising inverter chains and dynamic flipflops featuring low jitter. The proposed FSOs can maintain their phase states through continuous oscillation, unlike conventional gated ring oscillators (GROs) that are affected by transistor leakage. Our proposed FSOTDC is more r...

We study the response of an autoregulated gene to a range of concentrations of signal molecules. We show that transcriptional leakage and noise due to translational bursting have the opposite effects. In a positively autoregulated gene, increasing the noise converts the response from graded to binary, while increasing the leakage converts the response from binary to graded. Our findings support...

This paper addresses a novel seven transistor (7T) CMOS SRAM cell design to enhance the stability, reduce dynamic power, leakage power and area in various applications. The designed cell has an inbuilt mechanism for charge sharing, by which power has been saved for write operation. The proposed 7T SRAM cell uses charging/ discharging single Bit Line (BL) mechanism, which results in reduction in...

A 0.6-V 34-μW delta–sigma modulator implemented by using a standard 0.13-μm complementary metal–oxide– semiconductor technology is presented. This brief analyzes a subthreshold-leakage current problem in switched-capacitor circuits and proposes subthreshold-leakage suppression switches to solve the problem. To verify the operation of the subthreshold-leakage suppression switches, two different ...

This paper reports on a fully-integrated CMOS switchable directconversion receiver for 2GHz and 5GHz. Switchable low noise amplifier is proposed for suiting for multiband (2GHz, 5GHz). Sub-harmonic mixing is used for down-conversion to minimize the DC-offset due to LO-leakage. The residual DC-offset is cancelled by a digital-to-analog converter at the output of mixer. For quadrature down-conver...

In this paper, a new technique for domino circuit is proposed, which has high noise immunity and consume low power without degrading the performance for wide fan-in dynamic gates. The proposed circuit utilizes the double stage domino technique, in which the domino circuit is divided into two stages: standard footed domino includes pull-down network and another standard footed domino includes on...

Effects of the windowing process, widely investigated by the scientific literature for narrow–band components embedded in white noise, is not sufficiently detailed when signals are corrupted by colored noise. Such a phenomenon can heavily affect the spectral parameters estimation of the noisy signal. In this paper effects of the windowing on the output of analog–to–digital converters with ∆Σ to...
