This switch not only eliminates the nonlinearity introduced by gate-source voltage variation, but also reduces the nonlinearity resuiting from threshold voltage variation, which has not been accomplished in earlier low-voltage sampling switches. This is achieved by adopting a replica transistor with the same threshold voltage as the sampling transistor. The effectiveness of this technique is demonstrated by a prototype design of a sampling switch in 0. 35μm. The proposed sampling switch achieves a spurious free dynamic range of 111dB for a 0. 2MHz, 1.2Vp-p input signal, sampled at a rate of 2MS/s,about 18dB over the Bootstrapped switch. Also, the on-resistance variation is reduced by 90%. This method is especially useful for low-voltage, high resolution ADCs, which is a hot topic today.展开更多

A multistage structure is used to reduce the complexity of filter coefficients and the fi- nite word length effect. A novel method based on mixed-radix number representation is proposed to realize a poly- phase multiplier-free half-band subfilter with a high resolution. This approach reduces the complexity of the con- trol system and saves chip area dramatically. The IC is realized in a standard 0.13μm CMOS process and the inter- polation filter occupies less than 0.63mm^2 . This realization has desirable properties of regularity with simple hard- ware devices which are suitable for VLSI and can be applied to many other high resolution data converters.展开更多

We derive the theoretical results and corresponding approximate expressions of the achievable SE in multi-cell systems with maximum ratio combining(MRC) detector and in single-cell systems with zero-forcing(ZF) detector. Based on approximated results, the effects of physical parameters, including the transmit power, the number of antennas, the proportion of full-resolution ADCs and the quantization precision of the low-resolution ADCs on the achievable SE are revealed. Furthermore, we propose the power allocation algorithms based on the lower bound and upper bound of approximate achievable SE. Our results show that the total achievable SE improves by increasing the number of BS antennas, the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR), and the quantization precision. Results showcase that proposed power allocation algorithms remarkably improve the total achievable SE comparing to the equal power allocation algorithm, which verifies the effectiveness of our proposed schemes.展开更多

To improve the combustor wall temperature level and its uniformity and efficiency, an improved flat micro-combustor with a front cavity is built, and the combustion performance of the original and improved combustors of premixed H2/air flames under various inlet velocities and equivalence ratios is numerically investigated. The effects of the front cavity height and length on the outer wall temperature and efficiency are also discussed. The front cavity significantly improves the average outer wall temperature, outer wall temperature uniformity, and combustion efficiency of the micro-combustor, increases the area of the high temperature zone, and enhances the heat transfer between the burned blends and inner walls. The micro-combustor with the front cavity length of 2.0 mm and height of 0.5 mm is suitable for micro-TPV system application due to the relatively high outer wall temperature, combustion efficiency, and the most uniform outer wall temperature.展开更多

The numerical analysis shows that the coupling constants of hyperons have a slight influence on the phase transitions and EOS, but an obvious influence on the particle fractions, while the bag constant B and coupling constant g have an important influence on the phase transitions, the EOS, and the mass-radius relations. We find that both the bag constant B and coupling constant g play the same role in the description of the interactions between quarks of hybrid stars. The maximum mass calculated by using the bag constant determined with experimental data (ranging from 175 to 200 MeV) falls in the interval of 1.4 ~1.7 solar mass. The corresponding radius is between 9.3 and 12 km. These results are in agreement with observed values of neutron stars. The possibility of the existence of a third family is discussed. The detection of a third family may provide a signature for a phase transition inside neutron stars.展开更多
