248-GHz Subharmonic Mixer Last Transmitter With I/Q Imbalance and LO Feedthrough Calibration

248-GHz Subharmonic Mixer Last Transmitter With I/Q Imbalance and LO Feedthrough Calibration 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a 248 GHz compact direct-conversion transmitter with IQ and LO feedthrough (LOFT) calibration capability, which can achieve a data rate of 20-Gb/s with 16-QAM. The transmitter design incorporates a subharmonic double-balanced mixer configuration, simplifying the complexity of the local oscillator (LO) chain. Furthermore, a Wilkinson power divider …

A Single-Ended Impedance-Matched Transmitter With Single Ring-Oscillator-Based Time-Domain ZQ Calibration for Memory Interfaces

A Single-Ended Impedance-Matched Transmitter With Single Ring-Oscillator-Based Time-Domain ZQ Calibration for Memory Interfaces 150 150

Abstract:

The proposed single-ended transmitter for memory interfaces is an impedance-matched transmitter that utilizes a single ring-oscillator-based time-domain ZQ calibration. This ZQ calibration technique eliminates the offsets by using a gain-controlled ring oscillator with late-case forcing, resulting in low maximum/average error rates. The transmitter incorporates a phase equalization method to …
