This paper shows the design of a broadband low noise amplifier (LNA) for ultra-wideband (UWB) system on 0.18um CMOS process. The proposed LNA uses resistive shunt feedback technique and an inter-stage inductor as an inductive peaking to realize the flat gain throughout the UWB band. The designed UWB LNA has a noise figure lower than 3.5dB, gain above 20dB in the frequency range 3. 1-10.2GHz. It...

We show that evolution in a population of adaptive agents, repeatedly competing for a limited resource, can come to an abrupt halt. This transition from evolutionary to non-evolutionary behavior arises as the global resource level is changed, and is reminiscent of a phase transition to a frozen state. Its origin lies in the inductive decision-making of the agents, the limited global information...

Affect has been the subject of increasing attention in cognitive accounts of learning. Many intelligent tutoring systems now seek to adapt pedagogy to student affective and motivational processes in an effort to increase the effectiveness of tutorial interaction and improve learning outcomes. However, the majority of research on tutorial feedback has focused on pedagogical content, often at the...

This paper investigates a current mode active inductor. In the proposed active inductor, three current mirrors have been connected to each other to realize the negative feedback. This active conductor has a two layer transistor structure. A 4.257 GHz, 1.2-V power supply non-inductive LC negative resistor oscillator, base on two of the proposed active inductors, is demonstrated. Keywords-active ...

One of the major difficulties in classification is the assessment of classification quality. This paper builds on a recently developed classification technique, based on Inductive Logic Programming to propose a way of visually reconstructing the learnt classes in order to give a feedback to the user. The system translates positioning constraints into a linear programming problem, which can be s...

This paper introduces an expressive class of indexed quotient-inductive types, called QWI within the framework constructive type theory. They are initial algebras for families equational theories with possibly infinitary operators and equations. We prove that types can be derived from quotient inductive in theory toposes natural number object universes, provided those universes satisfy Weakly I...

Inductive-capacitive-inductive (LCL)-type line filters are widely used in grid-connected voltage source inverters (VSIs), since they can provide substantially improved attenuation of switching harmonics in currents injected into the grid with lower cost, weight and power losses than their L-type counterparts. However, the inclusion of third order LCL network complicates the current control desi...

The endoderm of Drosophila is patterned during embryogenesis by an inductive cascade emanating from the adhering mesoderm. An immediate-early endodermal target gene of this induction is Dfos whose expression is upregulated in the middle midgut by Dpp signalling. Previous evidence based on a dominant-negative Dfos construct indicated that Dfos may cooperate with Dpp signalling to induce the HOX ...
