The downscaling of CMOS processes has led to devices with an impressive RF performance. Advanced nanoscale RF MOSFETs present very high transit frequency, which can be traded off with lower power consumption, by shifting the operating point towards the wea ...
The force (F) and the power consumption (P ) of a magnetic actuator are modeled, measured and optimized in the context of developing micro-actuators for large arrays, such as in portable tactile displays for the visually impaired. We present a novel analyt ...
During this project we studied cavities as an alternative method to stripline resonators, to create an oscillating magnetic field. We were able to simulate different cavity designs and reproduce theoretical results as a numerical simulation and experimenta ...
This work presents a new method for kTC noise calculation in periodic witched capacitor circuits. Two basic applications are overviewed. Namely the switched capacitor low-pass filter and the N-path band-pass filter. Analytical noise calculation using the n ...
We establish a general method to bridge the gap between full-field electromagnetic calculations and equivalent lumped circuit elements to describe the optical response of plasmonic nanostnictures. The exact value of each lumped element is extracted from on ...
Mainstream Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) power estimation tools are based on probabilistic activity estimation and analytical power models. The power consumption of the programmable resources of FPGAs is highly sensitive to their configurations. Due ...
An N-port equivalent circuit approach is adopted to model a multipoint grounding system, N being the number of injection points. A methodology is proposed to determine the parameters of the N-port equivalent circuit from either numerical simulations or exp ...
The accurate consideration of propagation losses in arbitrarily shaped waveguide-based structures is studied in this paper. For such a purpose, a software tool based on the perturbation of the boundary conditions on the waveguide metallic walls and on the ...
The Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology is a very promising candidate to provide widespread commercial solutions for modern communications systems. Its main advantage is the possibility to integrate passive/active components and antennas in the ...
Fast optical circuit switches (OCSs) with high port count offer reconfigurable bandwidth in optical networks and have the potential to significantly increase the performance and efficiency of modern datacenters. In this paper, we report on a new type of in ...
