A 25-kHz-BW 97.4-dB-SNDR SAR-Assisted Continuous-Time 1-0 MASH Delta–Sigma Modulator With Digital Noise Coupling 150 150

Abstract:

This article introduces a high-resolution continuous-time delta–sigma modulator (CT DSM) architecture that incorporates a successive approximation register (SAR)-assisted digital noise coupling (DNC) technique and a multi-stage noise-shaping (MASH) structure. The limited maximum stable amplitude (MSA) problem due to the high-order-shaped large quantization error ( $Etextsubscript{1}$ ) in the previous …

A 50-Gb/s Multicarrier Transmitter Using DAC-Based Polar Drivers in 22-nm FinFET

A 50-Gb/s Multicarrier Transmitter Using DAC-Based Polar Drivers in 22-nm FinFET 150 150

Abstract:

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC)-based polar transmitter (TX) is proposed for multicarrier signaling in wireline applications. The proposed TX achieves a 50-Gb/s total data rate with maximized spectral efficiency by using three parallel 5-GS/s DAC-based drivers and two orthogonal carriers of 5 and 10 GHz. The three DAC-based drivers operating …

A 4-Element Ka-Band Phased-Array Receiver With Code-Domain Hybrid Beamforming

A 4-Element Ka-Band Phased-Array Receiver With Code-Domain Hybrid Beamforming 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a 4-element phased-array receiver with code-domain hybrid beamforming (CDHBF) in 65-nm CMOS technology. Code-division multiplexing is used to fully preserve the flexibility in the digital domain while using a single RF interface, which reduces the RF chain complexity, reduces the chip area, and improves power efficiency. Phase …
