A 58.9—73.7-GHz Quadrature Dual-Core Class-F3,5 Oscillator with Tail-Assisted Implicit Quintupling

A 58.9—73.7-GHz Quadrature Dual-Core Class-F3,5 Oscillator with Tail-Assisted Implicit Quintupling 150 150

Abstract:

We introduce a new class-F3,5 oscillator topology that enables quadrature operation by duplicating a conventional class-F3 oscillator core and electro-magnetically coupling the two cores through a pair of additional coils feeding source terminals of the gm transistors. The coupling network enhances the 5th-harmonic component, enabling efficient extraction and quadrature operation …

A 15-MHz, 2.7-mm2 Notch-Free Hybrid Magnetic Current Sensor With Feedforward Ripple Cancellation and ±0.8% Local Gain Non-Uniformity

A 15-MHz, 2.7-mm2 Notch-Free Hybrid Magnetic Current Sensor With Feedforward Ripple Cancellation and ±0.8% Local Gain Non-Uniformity 150 150

Abstract:

This article proposes a hybrid magnetic current sensor achieving a 15-MHz bandwidth within a compact 2.7-mm2 area. To mitigate the pole–zero mismatch inherent in the two-stage integrator topology, a dual-output Gm-C integrator with subtractor-based compensation is proposed, achieving a ±0.8% local gain non-uniformity. A wideband feedforward ripple suppression scheme cancels …
