A noise-efficient readout interface designed in a 150nm standard CMOS technology for a FET based THz radiation detector is presented. The interface is able to detect μV-range rectified signal from the FET detector, amplifying it by 70 dB gain. A multistage switched-capacitor (SC) readout channel employing chopper modulation is exploited so as to remove 1/ƒ noise and obtain repeatable gain and frequency...
A baseband IQ Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuits with embedded On-Off Keying (OOK) demodulator is integrated in a mmW 60GHz transceiver using CMOS 45nm technology. The gain of AGC ranges from 6.3∼30.6dB or 9.2∼32.6dB, depending on the on/off status of the optional DC offset compensation. There are two modes of operation in AGC — OOK and analog mode. The OOK demodulator takes the input from IQ mixer...
An innovative investigation of optical feedback or self-mixing interference within the cavity of a single-longitudinal-mode laser is described as an integral part of a novel interrogation scheme to be employed in a fiber Bragg grating-based sensor for strain measurement. The entire sensor device simply consists of a laser diode with an integrated photodiode which is coupled to a fiber Bragg grating...
A novel configuration for a Brillouin distributed fiber sensor based on Brillouin optical time-domain analysis is proposed. This configuration eliminates many intensity noise issues found in previous schemes. Resolution of 7 m all over a 47 km single-mode fiber was achieved and resolution down to 30 cm in a few kilometer fiber. Noise reduction makes possible measurements with a 16 times averaging.
In this paper, we propose a robust STBC transmission scheme to combat the timing synchronization errors over frequency-selective multiple-access channels. First, the equivalent channel model in the presence of timing synchronization errors is derived and we find that the synchronization errors result in an equivalent channel model with larger number of correlated channel taps. Based on this correlated...
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the modulation scheme of choice for digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), which is required to operate under high mobility conditions resulting in significant Inter-carrier Interference (ICI). To mitigate ICI, several cancellation schemes have been proposed but they require reliable channel information at the receiver which is quite challenging...
In this paper we discuss performance results of a novel real-time closed-loop power amplifier (PA) linearization technique that has originally been proposed by Ahmed and Li. The novel approach performs on-the-fly prediction and measurement of the PA AM/AM and AM/PM non-linearity, stores such non-linear characteristics and calculates their inverse functions in order to pre-distort the base-band amplitude...
In conventional optical data transmission schemes, electrical filters and/or optical filters are used to improve the quality of system performance. In this paper, improved design of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical systems is achieved by using a selective electrical filter assignment method. The methodology objective is to optimize system design and mitigate the effects of fiber...
Ultra-wideband (UWB) systems possess several distinct features such as very high data rate, large multipath or frequency diversity and improved ranging precision while requiring low-power low-complexity transceivers. Among the different modulation schemes, differential PSK is an attractive option because it does not require channel estimation, and hence reduces implementation complexity. This paper...
