2. 1. Monolithic Integrated Oscillators - Phase Noise Analysis and Inductor Modeling

   Author : Niklas Troedsson; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; monolithic inductor; Monolithic integrated oscillator; CMOS; Bluetooth; low voltage; voltage controlled oscillator; Elektronik och elektroteknik; Electronics and Electrical technology; inductor modeling; phase noise analysis; quadrature voltage controlled oscillator;

   Abstract : This doctoral dissertation studies voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) that operate at low supply voltages. Due to smaller transistor sizes and lower supply voltage ratings with every new CMOS technology, voltage headroom is diminishing. READ MORE

4. 2. Integrated Oscillators in InGaP/GaAs HBT Technology

   Author : Szhau Lai; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : The thesis presents two major concerns in the design of low phase-noise MMIC VCOs; the active device model and the simulation tool. Besides, several design techniques to improve VCO tuning range and phase noise are investigated. The VCOs designed in this work are implemented in InGaP/GaAs HBT technology. READ MORE

5. 3. Silicon Carbide BipolarTechnology for High Temperature Integrated Circuits

   Author : Luigia Lanni; Zetterling Carl-Mikael; Sei-Hyung Ryu; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; silicon carbide SiC ; bipolar junction transistor BJT ; current gain; surface passivation; SiC etching; complementary bipolar; lateral PNP; Darlington transistors; SPICE modeling; high-temperature; integrated circuits; emitter coupled logic ECL ;

   Abstract : The availability of integrated circuits (ICs) capable of 500 or 600° C operation can be extremely beneficial for many important applications, such as transportation and energy sector industry. It can in fact enable the realization of improved sensing and control of turbine engine combustion leading to better fuel efficiency and reduced pollution. READ MORE

6. 4. Nonresonant high-frequency actuation of carbon based nanoelectromechanical oscillators

   Author : Martin Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanoelectromechanical oscillators; graphene; nonresonant; mechanical vibra- tions; selective mode actuation;

   Abstract : Carbon based nanoelectromechanical oscillators outperform their predecessors in many ways. In particular, their extraordinarily high quality factors make them very promising for sensor applications. To operate the nano oscillators, different kinds of actuation mechanisms are utilised, for instance direct or parametric resonance. READ MORE
