    Electrically small high frequency (HF) loop antenna with undercover ferrite sheet yields high radiation resistance for multi-Turn structure. Antenna impedance without radiation differs greatly from that with the radiation effect. Impedance perturbation method is used for extracting antenna impedance with radiation effect at a desired frequency. Matching networks are designed based on the extracted antenna impedance. The measurement results show that the antenna with the designed matching network provides higher return loss.

    Improvement of transmission line circuit on lossy substrate with application on phase shifter design
    (2019-03-01) ;
    Kongchayasukwat, Thitipun
    Lumped transmission line circuit design on lossy substrate is studied in this paper. Conventional single section lumped transmission line cannot perform well on lossy substrate as its electrical length gets longer. Multi-section transmission lines can be used to improve transmission line properties in this case. Phase shifter circuits are designed with a large electrical length transmission line. By using a multi-section transmission line, the resulting transmission line properties are better than those of single section transmission line.

    Study performance of near-field HF antenna using undercover ferrite sheet
    A planar loop antennas with and without undercover ferrite are studied in this paper. The field simulated results show that the antenna with undercover ferrite provides more magnetic flux density at the same distance away from it. Using a receiving loop antenna in the simulation, the power gain of both transmitting antennas is compared. By using proper matching networks, the planar loop antenna with undercover ferrite provides a better power gain than that of the planar loop antenna.

    A millimeter-wave in-phase gate-boosting rectifier

    This paper introduces a new class of RF-to-dc rectifiers called the in-phase gate-boosting rectifier (IGR). An IGR utilizes an in-phase passive voltage multiplier (IPVM) to boost in-phase V<inf>\rm GS</inf> swing from the driving V<inf>\rm DS</inf> swing. This design simultaneously reduces the effective threshold voltage, forward resistance, and the reverse leakage current of the rectifying transistor. As a consequence, the sensitivity and the efficiency of a high-frequency rectifier can be improved. Furthermore, a C<inf>G</inf>-loaded IPVM presents low input conductance and is shunted with the drains/sources of the rectifying transistors. This makes the realization of the input matching network between the IGR core and the antenna easier, and achieves a higher voltage swing at the input terminals of the IGR core. The criteria, properties, and relating proofs of the IPVM are also discussed. A differential seven-stage millimeter-wave IGR is implemented in a 65-nm RF CMOS process. In this design, an interleaving internal threshold cancellation bias scheme is also introduced to further suppress the power consumption due to biasing circuitry without increasing the layout area. The implemented integrated circuit achieves a state-of-the-art - 7-dBm sensitivity with 20% peak efficiency at 53 GHz and a bandwidth of 10 GHz from 46 to 56 GHz.

    Wang, Sen
    This paper proposed a rat-race circuit implement on IPD (Integrated Passive Device) process. The termination loads of the circuit have a complex impedance value. Design equations for single frequency operation of distributed structure are provided. Lumped components representation of distributed structure is illustrated in the design example. The measured results yield-5.6 dB reflection coefficient at the input port and-14 dB transmission coefficient at the isolation port. The transmission coefficients at the output ports are better than-7 dB while the phase difference is less than 2 degrees.

    Wang, Sen
    This letter presents a low-loss and highly-selective differential bandpass filter (BPF) with high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). The presented integrated passive device process provides high quality lumped elements, and therefore a low insertion loss of the BPF can be obtained. The circuit also uses series-shunt resonators for controlling its differential- and common-mode transmission zeros. Moreover, with a proper choice of circuit component values, a high common-mode rejection can be controlled at a specific frequency without alternating properties of the filter. The chip area of the filter is 3.74 mm<sup>2</sup> including all testing pads. Additionally, the differential BPF achieves a 1.5-dB insertion loss and 11-dB return loss with a 73% 3-dB bandwidth at 2.2 GHz. Finally, the peak CMRR at the frequency of interest is up to 50 dB.

    A 4-bit ultra-wideband complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor attenuator with low root-mean-square amplitude error
    (2019-11-01) ;

    Wang, Sen
    This article presents the 4-bit ultra-wideband complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) attenuator in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS process. This design adopts switched bridge-T type topologies for each attenuation bit. Based on insertion losses and input P<inf>1-dB</inf> considerations, the circuit performances can be optimized by the proper bit ordering arrangement. Therefore, the bit ordering 0.5-4-2-1 dB is employed in the 4-bit attenuator. Moreover, series inductors are added between each bit to further improve the input and output return losses. Measured results demonstrate that the attenuation range of the circuit is 7.5 dB with 0.5 dB step and the root-mean-square (RMS) amplitude error is between 0.11 and 0.13 dB from 3.1 to 10.8 GHz. The differences between simulated and measured RMS amplitude errors are less than 0.2 dB, which demonstrates the good agreement and feasibility of the design concept. The measured input P<inf>1-dB</inf> is 15 dBm at 5 GHz and the chip area is 1.12 mm<sup>2</sup> including all testing pads.
