    Abstract : This thesis presents novel radio frequency microelectromechanical (RF MEMS) circuits based on the three-dimensional (3-D) micromachined coplanar transmission lines whose geometry is re-configured by integrated microelectromechanical actuators. Two types of novel RF MEMS devices are proposed. READ MORE

  2. 2. Design of Ultra-Low-Power Analog-to-Digital Converters

    Author : Dai Zhang; Atila Alvandpour; Trond Ytterdal; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : analog-to-digital converter; ADC; successive approximation register; SAR; SAR ADC; ultra-low-power; power consumption bounds; medical implant devices;

    Abstract : Power consumption is one of the main design constraints in today’s integrated circuits. For systems powered by small non-rechargeable batteries over their entire lifetime, such as medical implant devices, ultra-low power consumption is paramount. READ MORE

  3. 3. Continuous-Time Delta-Sigma Modulators for Ultra-Low-Power Radios

    Author : Dejan Radjen; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Delta-Sigma; continuous-time; analog-to-digital; ultra-low-power; clock jitter; single operational amplifier; SAR quantizer;

    Abstract : The modern small devices of today require cheap low power radio frequency (RF) transceivers that can provide reliable connectivity at all times. In an RF transceiver, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is one of the most important parts and it is also one of the main power consumers. READ MORE

  4. 4. Selected Applications of Switched Capacitor Circuits : RF N-Path Filters and ΣΔ Modulators

    Author : Fahad Qazi; Jerzy Dabrowski; Atila Alvandpour; Henrik Sjöland; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Electronic circuits based on switches and capacitors have been used in various applications for several decades. The common switched capacitor (SC) circuits have made their career primarily in analog filters and data converters due to high immunity to capacitance mismatch in integrated circuit (IC) technologies.
