A 0.5–2.5-GS/s Resettable Ring-VCO-Based ADC Eliminating Quantization-Noise Shaping

A 0.5–2.5-GS/s Resettable Ring-VCO-Based ADC Eliminating Quantization-Noise Shaping 150 150
Author(s): Tao Lu, Zixiang Liu, Hao Yang, Sai-Weng Sin, Fujiang Lin, Liheng Lou, Robert Bogdan Staszewski, Yizhe Hu

Abstract:

This article presents a Nyquist-rate Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operating from 0.5 to 2.5 GS/s based on an open-loop resettable ring VCO (R-RVCO). By inherently embedding the $1 {\,}-{\,}z^{-1}$ transfer function, the R-RVCO eliminates the need for an explicit differentiator, suppresses VCO phase-noise (PN) integration, and avoids quantization-noise (QN) shaping within …

A Fast-Settling mm-Wave LO With I/Q-Calibrated SSB Mixer and Frequency-Tuned ILO Filter Achieving Sub-ns Settling Time and −56 dBc Spur

A Fast-Settling mm-Wave LO With I/Q-Calibrated SSB Mixer and Frequency-Tuned ILO Filter Achieving Sub-ns Settling Time and −56 dBc Spur 150 150
Author(s): Jaewon Oh, Cheol So, Hyojun Kim, Songcheol Hong, SeongHwan Cho

Abstract:

This article presents a fast-settling 60-GHz local oscillator (LO) for stepped-carrier orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), employing an I/Q-calibrated single-sideband (SSB) mixer with a frequency-tuned injection-locked oscillator (ILO) filter. The SSB mixer enables instantaneous frequency hopping, while the ILO acts as a high- $Q$ bandpass filter that suppresses mixer-induced spurs. …

A Cryo-BiCMOS Controller for Quantum Computers based on Trapped Beryllium Ions

A Cryo-BiCMOS Controller for Quantum Computers based on Trapped Beryllium Ions 150 150
Author(s): Peter Toth, Paul Shine Eugine, Yerzhan Kudabay, Kaoru Yamashita, Sebastian Halama, Judi Parvizinejad, Marco Bonkowski, Hiroki Ishikuro, Christian Ospelkaus, Vadim Issakov

Abstract:

This article presents a cryo-BiCMOS system on chip (SoC) designed for single and two-qubit gate operations for quantum computers (QCs) based on beryllium trapped-ions (TIs). Signal generation from 0.7 to 1.6 GHz is supported, covering all microwave transitions in a ${}^{9}\text {Be}^{+}$ QC realization. An integrated 48-kbit waveform memory is implemented for …

A Battery-Free BLE Backscatter Communication Chip for Wearable Systems

A Battery-Free BLE Backscatter Communication Chip for Wearable Systems 150 150
Author(s): Yongling Zhang, Ji Xiong, Junzai Chen, Xiaoyu Li, Jinrui Zuo, Yan Wang, Xiaoyi Wang, Miao Meng

Abstract:

This letter presents a backscatter chip that features bidirectional communication with commodity bluetooth low-energy (BLE) transceivers. For uplink, the chip reflects a reverse-whitened BLE tone into single-sideband (SSB) GFSK-modulated BLE packets via a proposed replica VCO-based GFSK modulator and an inductor-free SSB reflector. For downlink, the BLE packets are frequency …
