A rate-equation model capable of describing the all-optical sampling mechanism is presented in this paper. Based on this model, we investigate the optimized operating parameters of the proposed system by simulating the output intensity of the probe light as functions of the input polarization angle, the phase induced by the polarization controller, and the ori- entation of the polarization beam splitter. The simulated results show that we can obtain a good linear slope and a large linear dynamic range,which is suitable for all-optical sampling. The operating power of the pump light can be less than lmW. The presented all-optical sampling method can potentially operate at a sampling rate up to hundreds GS/s and needs low optical power.展开更多

Considering parasitic effects resulting from bond pad and input electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diodes, the optimization of the input matching and noise performance is analyzed, and a narrowband inductor model is applied to the circuit design and optimization. Based on the Volterra series, the nonlinearity of the LNA is analyzed and an equation describing input-referred third-order intercept points (IIP3) which indicate the nonlinearity effects is derived; accordingly, the trade-off between the power consumption and linearity is made. The LNA is designed and simulated with TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) 0. 18 μm radio frequency (RF)technology. Simulation results show that the LNA has a noise figure of only 1.1 dB, - 8. 3 dBm IIP3 with 3 mA current consumption from a 1.8 V voltage supply, and the input impedances match well.展开更多

Range scaling enables a maximal 2-Vp-p input with a single-stage opamp adopted. Opamp and capacitor sharing between the first multi- plying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) and the second one reduces the total opamp power further. The dedicated sample-and- hold amplifier (SHA) is removed to lower the power and the noise. The blind calibration of linearity errors is proposed to improve the per- formance. The prototype ADC is fabricated in a 130rim CMOS process with a 1.3-V supply voltage. The SNDR of the ADC is 71.3 dB with a 2.4 MHz input and remains 68.5 dB for a 120 MHz input. It consumes 85 roW, which includes 57 mW for the ADC core, 11 mW for the low jitter clock receiver and 17 mW for the high-speed reference buffer.展开更多

In this paper, a detailed analysis of noise and linearity for the cascode architecture, a widely used circuit structure in LNA designs, is presented. The noise and the linearity improvement techniques for cascode structures are also developed and have been proven by computer simulating experiments. Theoretical analysis and simulation results showed that, for cascode structure LNAs, the first metallic oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) dominates the noise performance of the LNA, while the second MOSFET contributes more to the linearity. A conclusion is thus obtained that the first and second MOSFET of the LNA can be designed to optimize the noise performance and the linearity performance separately, without trade offs. The 1.9GHz Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) LNA simulation results are also given as an application of the developed theory.展开更多

Two kinds of double clad fibers(DCF) with rectangular and "flower" inner clad shapes are studied, and these fibers have different coupling constants and propagation losses. We calculate the effective pump power absorption ratio along the fiber with different coupling constants from the first cladding to the doped core and with different propagation losses for the power in the inner cladding. Then the gains of the double clad Er-doped fiber amplifiers versus fiber lengths are calculated using the EDFA model based on propagation and rate equations of a homogeneous, two-level medium.展开更多

In order to reduce the computational complexity and the number of coefficients of Volterra series kernels, a Volterra series improved behavioral model based on Laguerre orthogonal polynomials function, namely Voherra-Laguerre behavioral model, is proposed. Mathematical expressions of Volterra-Laguerre behavioral model is derived, and accuracy of the model is verified through comparison of measured and simulation output data from a freescale PA using MRF21030 transistor. Mathematical analysis and simulation results show that Voherra-Laguerre behavioral model has a simple structure, much less coefficients and better modeling performance than general Volterra series model. The model can be used more correctly for system-level simulation of RF PA with wideband signal.展开更多

Two kinds of double clad fibers(DCF) with rectangular and "flower" inner clad shapes are studied, and these fibers have different coupling constants and propagation losses. We calculate the effective pump power absorption ratio along the fiber with different coupling constants from the first cladding to the doped core and with different propagation losses for the power in the inner cladding. Then the gains of the double clad Er-doped fiber amplifiers versus fiber lengths are calculated using the EDFA model based on propagation and rate equations of a homogeneous, two-level medium.
