My interest in PLL topics was triggered by "old PLL rabbit" Edmund Götz. He also played a vital role in our weekly discussions with Markus Scholz, Burkhard Neurauter and Günter Märzinger at Infineon Technologies revolving around Σ∆PLLs and self-calibration strategies. These discussions sparked-off great chips, several patents and, in the end, this thesis. Markus Scholz also designed the excellent multi-modulus divider block that found its way from the Σ∆PLL into the Σ∆FD and shared countless mugs of coffee with me.

  • Efficient High-Performance Millimeter-Wave Front-End
    EFFICIENT HIGH-PERFORMANCE MILLIMETER-WAVE FRONT-END INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DESIGNS AND TECHNIQUES IN SiGe BiCMOS A Dissertation by SUN HWAN JANG Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Cam V. Nguyen Committee Members, Laszlo B. Kish Kamran Entesari Mark E. Everett Head of Department, Miroslav M. Begovic August 2016 Major Subject: Electrical Engineering Copyright 2016 Sunhwan Jang ABSTRACT This dissertation presents various “efficient” design techniques for mm-wave front-end integrated circuits in regards to dc power, bandwidth, and chip size. The ideas, while suitable for different CMOS/BiCMOS processes, were implemented using a 0.18- μm SiGe BiCMOS process. The proposed techniques are validated through the actual implementations of several building blocks constituting two different front-end sections: a V-band OOK/pulse transceiver front-end and a concurrent K-/V-band receiver front- end, where K-band ranges from 18 to 27 GHz and V-band from 40 to 75 GHz. As one of the constituent components in the V-band pulse transmitter, a 60-GHz active OOK/pulse modulator has been designed with an emphasis on the enhancement in the ON/OFF isolation. Having a decent gain (higher than 10 dB), the designed modulator can also be used as a driver stage, which can save the chip area and possibly the dc power consumption compared to the combination of a switch-based passive modulator and a drive amplifier. For the receiver front-end, a wideband V-band low-noise amplifier (LNA) has been designed.

Because of continuous .Therefore we are intend to design a Ultra Wideband filter. In advancement in network synthesis with distributed elements, this study a compact Ultra Wide Band pass filter consisting of the use of low- temperature super conductors, and the quarter wave resonant conductor like micro strip lines is proposed to design. We have to increase the Bandwidth by using incorporation of active devices in filter circuits, microwave suitable techniques also have to improve the stop band filter design remains an active research area. In this study, performance. A microwave filter is frequency selective two-port insertion loss method which uses network synthesis network used to control the frequency response at a certain point techniques to design filters with a completely specified in a microwave system by providing transmission at frequencies frequency response has been applied. The design is within the pass band of the filter and attenuation in stop band of simplified by beginning with low-pass filter prototypes that the filter. Microwave filters specifically band pass filters have are normalized in terms of impedance and frequency range found large number of application in varying fields such as and impedance level.

  • Active Filter Design Techniques
    Chapter 16 Active Filter Design Techniques Literature Number SLOA088 Excerpted from Op Amps for Everyone Literature Number: SLOD006A Chapter 16 Active Filter Design Techniques Thomas Kugelstadt 16.1 Introduction What is a filter? A filter is a device that passes electric signals at certain frequencies or frequency ranges while preventing the passage of others. — Webster. Filter circuits are used in a wide variety of applications. In the field of telecommunication, band-pass filters are used in the audio frequency range (0 kHz to 20 kHz) for modems and speech processing. High-frequency band-pass filters (several hundred MHz) are used for channel selection in telephone central offices. Data acquisition systems usually require anti-aliasing low-pass filters as well as low-pass noise filters in their preceding sig- nal conditioning stages. System power supplies often use band-rejection filters to sup- press the 60-Hz line frequency and high frequency transients. In addition, there are filters that do not filter any frequencies of a complex input signal, but just add a linear phase shift to each frequency component, thus contributing to a constant time delay. These are called all-pass filters. At high frequencies (> 1 MHz), all of these filters usually consist of passive components such as inductors (L), resistors (R), and capacitors (C). They are then called LRC filters. In the lower frequency range (1 Hz to 1 MHz), however, the inductor value becomes very large and the inductor itself gets quite bulky, making economical production difficult. In these cases, active filters become important. Active filters are circuits that use an op- erational amplifier (op amp) as the active device in combination with some resistors and capacitors to provide an LRC-like filter performance at low frequencies (Figure 16–1).
