We present an alternative post-processing on a CMOS chip to release a planar microelectrode array (pMEA) integrated with its signal readout circuit, which can be used for monitoring the neuronal activity of vestibular ganglion neurons in newborn Wistar strain rats. This chip is fabricated through a 0.6 μm CMOS standard process and it has 12 pMEA through a 4 × 3 electrodes matrix. The alternativ...

a novel low noise trans-impedance amplifier is proposed using low cost 0.18 µm cmos technology. a resistive-capacitive feedback is used to extend the bandwidth of the amplifier. as the structure is inductor less, it is suitable for low cost integrated optical interconnects. in this paper improved particle swarm optimization have applied to determine optimal trans-resistance and noise of propose...

a digital look-up table adaptive predistortion technique using a six-port receiver for power amplifier linearization is presented. the system is designed in ka-band for a dvb-s2 satellite link. we use a six-port receiver at the linearizationloop in place of classic heterodyne receivers. the six-port receiver is implemented by the use of passive microwavecircuits and detector diodes. this approa...

A complex analog-to-digital converter (ADC) intended for digital intermediate frequency (IF) receiver applications digitizes analog signals at IFs with excellent power/bandwidth efficiency. However, it is vulnerable to mismatches between its in-phase and quadrature paths that can dramatically degrade its performance. The proposed solution mitigates mismatch effects using a complex sigma-delta (...

This paper presents a high-power microwave oscillator using recursive balanced amplification technique. The proposed architecture is configured by power amplifier (BPA) with class-AB operation and two feedback networks. Each circuit consists of phase shifter high-Q bandpass filter (BPF). BPA an input hybrid coupler (IHC) output (OHC) to divide recombine signals amplified through amplifiers (PAs...

This paper presents a versatile voltage-mode universal active filter with one input and five output terminals. The proposed circuit is based on using the recently reported active building block, namely differential difference current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DDCCTA). It employs two DDCCTAs as active elements together with two resistors and two capacitors as passive elements, which a...

An electronically tunable universal voltage-mode biquadratic filter with single input and four outputs using one differential difference current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DDCCTA), two resistors and two grounded capacitors is proposed. All the five standard biquadratic filter functions; lowpass (LP), bandpass (BP), highpass (HP), bandstop (BS) and allpass (AP), can be obtained from th...

we propose and demonstrate a bandpass microwave photonic filter (MPF) with ultrahigh stopband attenuation and skirt selectivity based on a simple signal cancellation technique. By injecting two phase modulated signals located on opposite sides of two resonant gain peaks of a Fabry-Pérot semiconductor optical amplifier (FP-SOA), two microwave frequency responses can be generated by the two input...

An 8th-order continuous-time (CT) bandpass delta-sigma (AZ) modulator has been designed and simulated in a 65 nm CMOS process. This modulator achieves in simulation 25 MHz signal bandwidth at 250 MHz center frequency with a signalto-noise ratio (SNR) of 75.5 dB. The modulator samples at 1 GS/s while consuming 319 mW. On the system level, the feedback topology secures stability for the 8th-order...
