The design of distributed amplifiers in a CMOS process is investigated. In particular, the impact of parasitic elements from the transistors and from interstage inductors is studied. A methodology for determining an optimum design, including the number of ...
We present leakage-free valves and an efficient fixed-volume mixer fabricated using a four-layer soft lithography technique in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Mixing is achieved with a 95% efficiency in a few seconds by creating circular flow patterns inside ...

A pixel circuit for CMOS active sensor imaging applications is presented. An in-pixel open-loop voltage amplifier achieves efficient bandwidth limitation using low capacitance values, and it allows excellent reduction of downstream readout circuit noise, t ...
On board of satellites traditionally Travelling Wave Tube Amplifiers (TWTAs) together with standard waveguide technology were used for transmitters in telecommunication payload systems. With the advent of Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) printed circui ...
Coupled inductors can be used as tunable inductances. Employing coupled inductors in the output impedance matching network of an RF power amplifier leads to superior performance when operating in more than one frequency band. As proof of this concept, the ...
Design and optimization of a simple but efficient operational amplifier (OA) for switched-capacitor finite impulse response (SC FIR) filters are presented. The main design criteria are: proper characteristics for application in SC FIR filters, simplicity o ...
This research work deals with the design of linear CMOS RF power amplifiers. Two important aspects are treated: efficiency enhancement and frequency-tunable capability. For this purpose, two different integrated circuits were realized in a 0.11 µm technolo ...
Variable acoustic properties can be obtained on an electroacoustic transducer’s voicing face by very basic control strategies, among which are the shunting of the loudspeaker (shortcut, variable electric load, or negative resistance disposals). It is prove ...
Engineers dealing with noise reduction in habitations close to transportation traffic or indus-trial facilities encounter several problems to decrease noise level in rooms at low frequencies. Passive materials and current building construction knowledge en ...
Time of flight (TOF) measurements in positron emission tomography (PET) are very challenging in terms of timing performance, and should achieve ideally less than 100ps FWHM precision. We present a time-based differential technique to read out SiPMs that ha ...
