Two differential radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (PA) architectures are presented in this paper both of which can be used to implement a wideband Doherty PA. Classic PA architecture is compared to a SB (SB) PA in order to determine an architecture that offers the widest input impedance match without external component tuning. Both amplifiers presented in this paper have been designed to output...
Microelectrode arrays have extensive applications in the biomedical field. These applications range from the study of the influence of drugs in cell cultures to neuro-implants for attenuation of diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy. The main block of the analog front-end attached to the MEA is the bioamplifier that amplifies biomedical potential signals. Different designs for this block...
A inverter based filter design is proposed that uses only MOSCAPs as filter capacitors. Further in the design the load capacitance compensates the negative feedback network allowing the majority of current to flow into the load. This results in an increase in the overall power efficiency. As a proof of concept, a 3rd order inverter based 34–314 MHz tunable continuous time channel select filter for...
This paper presents a theoretical framework to compare DC-DC ladder converter topologies applied to series stacked configurations of DC ‘cells.’ In a range of applications including photovoltaics and battery management, the practice of stacking cells in series is common, but leads to limitations in performance and reliability due to mismatch among series stacked units. Ladder converters operate in...
A delay-locked loop of multi-band selector with wide-locking range and low power dissipation is presented. The architecture of the proposed delay-locked loop consists of phase frequency detector, charge pump, band selector, multi-control delay line, and start-up circuit. The multi-band selector is used to extend operation frequency of delay-locked loop by switching the multi-control delay line. The...
The next generation of wireless communication is a ubiquitous radio system concept, providing wireless access from short-range to wide-area, with one single reconfigurable and adaptive system for all envisaged radio environments. This paper presents the design approach of RCO (reconfigurable concurrent oscillator) that simultaneously generates two or more signals of different frequencies that eliminate...
A high intercept points, cost-effective, and power-efficient switching FET double balanced mixer (DBM) is reported. The Switching FET DBM demonstrated in this work offers input intercept points (IIP3) and conversion loss typically 44 dBm and 8.5 dB respectively with 15 dBm LO power for the frequency band (RF: 900-2150 MHz, LO: 850-1950 MHz, IF: 50-200 MHz). The measured interport isolation is typically...
