Phase-noise mechanisms in cross-coupled LC voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) are reviewed based on a physical understanding of reactive power imbalances in the tank and in the active part. These phenomena are proven to be the predominant phase-noise de ...
The characterization of the cosmogenic neutrino flux would give insights into cosmological source evolution, source spectra and composition at injection, through the partial recovery of the degraded information carried by the ultra high energy cosmic rays. ...
The objective of this project is to determine in an analytical way the modes of vibration of the stator of a brushless DC motor. The knowledge of these modes is important. Once the vibration modes are determined we can avoid their excitation and thus reduc ...
The upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments at CERN sets new challenges for the powering of the detectors. One of the powering schemes under study is based on DC-DC buck converters mounted on the front-end modules. The hard environmental con ...

We present the fabrication and the testing of self sensing submicron thick piezoresistive cantilevers. Two kind of piezoresistive transducers (piezoresistor and MOSFET transistor) are integrated into the cantilever in the (100) direction, by n-type implant ...
In this paper, the design of a low-noise amplifier (LNA) for a 32x32 pixel microelectrode array (MEA) is presented. Its gain and noise amount to 50 dB and 10 Vrms, respectively, at a bandwidth of 66 kHz. The LNA consumes less than 85 uW. The integrated off ...
In non-iterative data-driven controller tuning, a set of measured input/output data of the plant is used directly to identify the optimal controller that minimizes some control criterion. This approach allows the design of fixed-order controllers, but lead ...
This paper presents a system for performance-based character animation that enables any user to control the facial expressions of a digital avatar in realtime. The user is recorded in a natural environment using a non-intrusive, commercially available 3D s ...
Stochastic modeling is a challenging task for low- cost inertial sensors whose errors can have complex spectral structures. This makes the tuning process of the INS/GNSS Kalman filter often sensitive and difficult. We are currently investigating two approa ...
We propose a novel framework for noise robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) based on cochlear implant-like spectrally reduced speech (SRS). Two experimental protocols (EPs) are proposed in order to clarify the advantage of using SRS for noise robust A ...
