Advancing technology has made it possible to integrate millions of transistors on a very small die and to clock these transistors at very high speeds. Power consumption has become the limiting factor for portable high-performance wireless applications. In this paper, we propose a system level technique to improve the power efficiency of the wireless receiver design. The proposed clock gating scheme...
Current mode (CM) scheme provides suitable alternative for the high speed on-chip interconnect signaling. This paper presents a energy-delay optimization methodology for the current-mode (CM) signaling scheme. Optimization for the CM circuits for on-chip interconnects requires a joint optimization of driver and receiver device sizes, as their parameters which affect the energy-delay performance depend...
In this paper, a CMOS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications with a 6-bit 1GSPS at 1.8 V is described. The architecture of the proposed ADC is based on a fully folded ADC using resistive interpolation technique for low power consumption. To reduce the power consumption, a folder reduction technique to decrease the number of folding blocks (NFB) is proposed. Further,...
3D contactless technology based on capacitive coupling represents a promising solution for high-speed and low power signaling in vertically integrated chips. AC coupled interconnects do not suffer from mechanical stress, and the parasitic load is much reduced when compared to standard DC solutions, such as wire bonding and micro bumps. Communication system based on wireless interconnection scheme...
The paper presents the design and implementation of input/output interface circuits, fully compatible with low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) standard. Due to the low voltage differential transmission technique, the low power consumption and high transmission speed are achieved at the same time. The transmitter is implemented by a closed-loop control circuit and an internal bandgap voltage reference,...
In this paper, we propose an adaptive technique exploiting transmission mode switching between multiple input multiple output (MIMO) and single input multiple output (SIMO) with antenna selection to conserve mobile terminals' energy. We focus on saving uplink RF transmission energy in cellular systems supporting dynamic best effort (file transfer) traffic loads. The key idea is to judiciously slow...
In this paper, we propose a cross-layer optimization approach that exploits retransmission diversity in wireless CDMA communications. Conventionally, data packets that are not correctly detected are usually dropped. These dropped packets can be used to help data packet detection. By exploiting all the retransmitted packets, data packets can be correctly detected with higher probability. The proposed...
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...
