A Compact Inductor-less CMOS Low Noise Amplifier for Reconfigurable Radio

Abstract; A compact reconfigurable CMOS low-noise amplifier (LNA) is presented for applications in DCS1800, UMTS, WLAN-b/g and Bluetooth standards. The proposed LNA features first a current reuse shunt-feedback amplifier for wideband input matching, low-noise figure and small area. Secondly, a cascode amplifier with a tunable active LC resonator is added for high gain and continuous […]

Efficient UWB filter design technique for integrated passive device implementation

Abstract; A new approach is proposed to act as an efficient design technique for the implementation of ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filters in integrated passive device technology. The proposed design is based on two major original contributions. First, the use of hourglass filter theory which, to the best of authors knowledge, has not been applied yet […]

On the Correlation between Circuit-level & Device-level Degradations due to AC NBTI Stress

Abstract; In this paper, an experimental analysis of the impact of dynamic negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) stress on the CMOS inverter dc response and temporal performance is presented. We analyzed the circuit behavior subjected to ac NBTI in the prospect to correlate the induced degradation with that seen at PMOS device level. The results […]
