  2. 6. CMOS High Frequency Circuits for Spin Torque Oscillator Technology

    Author : Tingsu Chen; Ana Rusu; Jerzy Dabrowski; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microwave integrated circuit; CMOS; spin torque oscillator; Balun-LNA; wideband amplifier; on-chip bias-tee; multi-standard multi-band radios;

    Abstract : Spin torque oscillator (STO) technology has a unique blend of features, including but not limited to octave tunability, GHz operating frequency, and nanoscaled size, which makes it highly suitable for microwave and radar applications. This thesis studies the fundamentals of STOs, utilizes the state-of-art STO's advantages, and proposes two STO-based microwave systems targeting its microwave applications and measurement setup, respectively.

  4. 7. Spin Torque Oscillator Modeling, CMOS Design and STO-CMOS Integration

    Author : Tingsu Chen; Ana Rusu; Atila Alvandpour; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; STO technology; microwave oscillator; analytical model; macrospin approximation; Verilog-A model; high frequency CMOS circuits; balun-LNA; STO-IC integration; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Abstract : Spin torque oscillators (STOs) are microwave oscillators with an attractive blend of features, including a more-than-octave tunability, GHz operating frequencies, nanoscale size, nanosecond switching speed and full compatibility with CMOS technology. Over the past decade, STOs' physical phenomena have been explored to a greater extent, their performance has been further improved, and STOs have already shown great potential for a wide range of applications, from microwave sources and detectors to neuromorphic computing.

    Abstract : Historically, research on radio communication has focused on improving range and data rate. In the last decade, however, there has been an increasing demand for low power and low cost radios that can provide connectivity with small devices around us. READ MORE

  6. 9. New directions in RF LNA design

    Author : Stefan Andersson; Christian Fager; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The RF field develops fast today and to meet the increasing needs from more and more users and higher and higher data rates for mobile terminals the number of wireless standards are rapidly increasing. This has lead to an increased number of frequency spectra dedicated for wireless communication, such as the recent ones for WCDMA, Bluetooth, and WLAN. READ MORE

  7. 10. Flexible Receivers in CMOS for Wireless Communication

    Author : Anders Nejdel; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Consumers are pushing for higher data rates to support more services that are introduced in mobile applications. As an example, a few years ago video-on-demand was only accessed through landlines, but today wireless devices are frequently used to stream video. READ MORE
