In this paper, we report on a process to prepare gold nanoparticle stripes on SiO2 by convective/capillary assembly without any patterning of the substrate. Electrical devices were then fabricated using stencil lithography in order to avoid any contaminati ...
Spectrum sensing is one of the enabling functionalities for cognitive radio (CR) systems to operate in the spectrum white space. To protect the primary incumbent users from interference, the CR is required to detect incumbent signals at very low signal-to- ...
An ultra low power 8-bit current-mode successive approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital (ADC) converter for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications is presented. The proposed ADC contains a new asynchronous clock generator, which works only during data p ...
Mixed-signal systems combine analog and digital signal processing in one overall design that should be integrated as a single system on chip. At system level, the separation into isolated subsystem representations for analog and digital parts needs to be o ...
This paper proposes an efficient video coding method which utilizes audio-visual information, based on the observation that sound-emitting regions in a video sequence attract observer’s attention. The regions responsible for the sound are identified by an ...
This paper investigates the achievable rates using variable length codes when transmitting independent informationover a degraded broadcast channel. In this note, we define the transmission rates from the perspective of the receivers and allow the decoders ...
With the continuous shrinking of devices dimensions in microelectronic circuits, it is becoming extremely desirable to integrate analog circuitry together with complex digital logic blocks. The noise generated by the digital parts in a mixed-signal integra ...
The subthreshold MOS source-coupled logic (STSCL) technique is of great interest for designing ultra low power circuits. In this paper we discuss the design of a pipelined encoder for an 8-bit folding and interpolating (F&I) analog-to-digital (ADC) data co ...
With a novel, less classical approach to the subject, the authors have written a book with the conviction that signal processing should be taught to be fun. The threatment is therefore less focused on the mathematics and more on the conceptual aspects, the ...
The first commercially available teslameter with a fully integrated three-axis Hall probe is described. The Hall probe chip contains horizontal and vertical Hall elements, analog electronics, and a synchronization circuit. A horizontal Hall element measure ...
