The 1st a part of this paintings discusses the explanations on why we want to
design an 802.11g transceiver and the structure of the transceiver. We
decide to exploit a superheterodyne structure for the transceiver with the
baseband filters and to re-use the IF Variable achieve keep an eye on (VGA) in both
modulator and demodulator to lessen the chip dimension. process hyperlink budget
calculation has additionally been confirmed in this part.
The moment half contain Chapters four and five. The DC offset cancellation in
modulator, and the I/Q earnings and stages imbalance auto-calibration in both
modulator and demodulator are mentioned in this half. the ultimate chapters
illustrate the chip measured end result.

Matching houses of Deep Sub-Micron MOS Transistors examines this fascinating phenomenon. Microscopic fluctuations reason stochastic parameter fluctuations that have an effect on the accuracy of the MOSFET. For analog circuits this determines the trade-off among pace, strength, accuracy and yield. in addition, end result of the down-scaling of gadget dimensions, transistor mismatch has an expanding effect on electronic circuits. The matching homes of MOSFETs are studied at numerous degrees of abstraction: an easy and physics-based version is gifted that correctly describes the mismatch within the drain present. The version is illustrated through dimensioning the unit present mobile of a current-steering D/A converter. the main usual tips on how to extract the matching homes of a expertise are bench-marked with recognize to version accuracy, size accuracy and pace, and actual contents of the extracted parameters. The actual origins of microscopic fluctuations and the way they have an effect on MOSFET operation are investigated. This results in a refinement of the commonly utilized 1/area legislations. furthermore, the research of straightforward transistor versions highlights the actual mechanisms that dominate the fluctuations within the drain present and transconductance. The impression of procedure parameters at the matching houses is mentioned. The effect of gate line-edge roughness is investigated, that is thought of to be one of many roadblocks to the additional down-scaling of the MOS transistor. Matching houses of Deep Sub-Micron MOS Transistors is aimed toward equipment physicists, characterization engineers, know-how designers, circuit designers, or anyone else attracted to the stochastic homes of the MOSFET.
