Method for eliminating mismatching error in monolithic triaxial ring resonators

Several results on optical-axis perturbation and elimination of the mismatching error C of a monolithic triaxial ring resonator （MTRR） are reported. Based on the augmented 5×5 ray matrix method, by simultaneously considering axial displacement of a mirror and the misalignments in three planar square ring resonators of a MTRR, the rules of optical-axis perturbation are obtained. The mismatching error C of the MTRR is eliminated. The results obtained are important for cavity design, as well as in the improvement and alignment of MTRR.

Error suppression techniques for energy-efficient high-resolution SAR ADCs

The successive approximation register(SAR)is one of the most energy-efficient analog-to-digital converter(ADC)architecture for medium-resolution applications.However,its high energy efficiency quickly diminishes when the target resolution increases.This is because a SAR ADC suffers from several major error source,including the sampling kT/C noise,the comparator noise,and the DAC mismatch.These errors are increasing hard to address in high-resolution SAR ADCs.This paper reviews recent advances on error suppression techniques for SAR ADCs,including the sampling kT/C noise reduction,the noise-shaping(NS)SAR,and the mismatch error shaping(MES).These techniques aim to boost the resolution of SAR ADCs while maintaining their superior energy efficiency.

Lexical Mismatching in Chinese Students＇ EFL Writing

This paper attempts at an in-depth exploration of lexical mismatching, a pattern of vocabulary errors. In this paper, errors per se were collected from 107 writing samples of Chinese college students, and then investigated from a variety of linguistic perspectives. Traditional theoretical approaches, i.e. CA and EA, are incorporated in the source analysis for a more comprehensive interpretation. Hopefully, the findings of the study will shed lights on lexical instruction and acquisition in the field of SLA.

Design of a 20-Gsps 12-bit time-interleaved analog-to-digital conversion system

The time-interleaved analog-to-digital conversion(TIADC)technique is an effective method for increasing the sampling rate in a waveform digitization system.In this study,a 20-Gsps TIADC system was designed.A wide-bandwidth performance was achieved by optimizing the analog circuits,and a sufficient effective number of bits(ENOB)performance guaranteed using the perfect reconstruction algorithm for mismatch error correction.The proposed system was verified by tests,and the results indicated that a-3 dB bandwidth of 6 GHz and the ENOB performance of 8.7 bits at 1 GHz and 7.6 bits at6 GHz were successfully achieved.

Digital Self-Calibration Technique Based on 14-Bit SAR ADC

An error correction technique to achieve a 14-bit successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter(SAR ADC) is proposed. A tunable split capacitor is designed to eliminate the mismatches caused by parasitic capacitors. The linearity error of capacitor array caused by process mismatch is calibrated by a novel calibration capacitor array that can improve the sampling rate. The dual-comparator topology ensures both the speed and precision of the ADC. The simulation results show that the SAR ADC after calibration achieves 83.07 dB SNDR and 13.5 bit ENOB at 500 kilosamples/s.
