A 40-GS/s 8-bit Time-Interleaved ADC Featuring SFDR-Enhanced Sampling and Power-Efficient Time-Domain Quantization in 28-nm CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

This article reports a 40-GS/s 8-bit time-interleaved (TI) time-domain (TD) gated-ring-oscillator analog-to-digital converter (GRO-ADC). An interleaving number of 32 is achieved with a single-channel 8-bit GRO-ADC operating at 1.25 GS/s, leading to a low front-end design complexity compared to recently published arts. The sampling front end employs a linearity-enhanced boosted …

A Compact, Wideband Complex Cascode Power Amplifier With LC Neutralization for VSWR-Resilient Operation in High-Density Phased Arrays

A Compact, Wideband Complex Cascode Power Amplifier With LC Neutralization for VSWR-Resilient Operation in High-Density Phased Arrays 150 150

Abstract:

This article proposes a design methodology for achieving intrinsic performance resilience in power amplifiers (PAs) against antenna impedance variations inherent to modern phased-array systems through the improvement of the PA output matching ( $S!_{22}$ ). This goal, however, presents a challenge for conventional cascode PAs due to their inherently high output impedance …
