The performances of LPF are controlled by a 1-bit control- voltage, and the cut-off frequency, channel selectivity, and linearity of the proposed filter can be reconfigured accordingly. In order to improve the accuracy of the cut-off frequency, a binary-weigh- ted switched-capacitor array is employed as the auto-tuning circuits to calibrate the RC-time con- stant. Fabricated in TSMC 0. 18μm RF CMOS process, the proposed LPF achieves a measured cutoff frequency of 1.95 and 12.3MHz for WCDMA and GPS/Galileo application with a bandwidth de viation less than 4%. The measured l dB compression points are -3.0dBm and -5.1 dBm respectively for different modes. The core circuit of LPF consumes l mW and 1.6mW for WCDMA and GPS/Galileo respectively. And the proposed LPF occupies an area of 0.78ram2.展开更多

This ...In order to investigate the seismic performance of geosynthetic reinforced and pile supported(GRPS) embankment under seismic loads, an input method for three-dimensional oblique incidence of P wave was proposed. This method is based on the explicit finite element method while considering the viscous-spring artificial boundary(VSAB) condition. Using the proposed method, a numerical study was conducted, and the influence of oblique incidence on the seismic response of GRPS embankment under the oblique incident P waves was analyzed. The results indicate that in comparison with vertical incidence, the oblique incidence can significantly increase the displacement, velocity and acceleration of key locations in the GRPS embankment. The existence of geosynthetics can alleviate the impact of seismic load on the response of the embankment to a certain degree. Moreover, the number of reinforcement layers and modulus of geogrid also greatly influence the seismic performance of GRPS embankment.展开更多
