This paper presents a power-efficient quadrature switched constant-current power amplifier (PA) based on IQ sharing. This PA, combining the complex domain Doherty and a symmetrical transformer that absorbs a lambda/4 impedance converter, can generate four power efficiency peaks to significantly improve the power-added efficiency (PAE) at the PA's power back-offs (PBOs). Fabricated in a 28 nm CMOS process, the PA achieves a peak output power (P-out) of 32.3 dBm and a peak PAE of 37% at a 2 GHz carrier. The PAEs at 3-, 6-, and 9-dB PBOs are 35.7%, 25.1%, and 23.7%, respectively. When testing an LTE 20-MHz 256-QAM signal with 5.8-dB PAPR, this PA achieves an average P-out of 26.5 dBm, an average PAE of 21.6%, -31.2 dB EVM, and -32.5/-32.3 dBc ACLR.

Printed electronics is rapidly maturing to address wide application domains including smart sensors, displays, wearables, and bio-medical patches. A printed storage unit can enable the fabrication of complex printed circuits, such as RFIDs. In this study, we investigate the resistive switching in ink-jet printed ITO/a-IZO/Ag two terminal device. Here, we find that alongside space charge limited conduction (SCLC), the oxygen vacancy assisted trap states at the a-IZO/Ag interface controls the switching behaviour of the printed devices. The devices exhibit the 2 order of magnitude difference between the high and low conduction states. Furthermore, we demonstrate 9 cycles of bipolar switching at less than 2 V and retention of the high resistance state (HRS) and low resistance state (LRS) at 50 mV for 1000 s.

This paper presents a D-band on-off keying (OOK) transmitter fabricated in 28-nm CMOS process. A current-controlled OOK modulator with always-off cancellation technique is proposed to enhance the data rate and the on-off ratio. The transmitter exhibits an output power exceeding 10 dBm and an on-off ratio of 40 dB. Its 3-dB output power bandwidth is from 110 to 170 GHz, covering the full D band to support a high data rate. Without the assistance of DSP for equalization, the measurements demonstrate an on-wafer data rate up to 40 Gb/s and over-the-air (OTA) data rates of 21 Gb/s and 15 Gb/s at distances of 3 cm and 8 cm respectively with a bit error rate (BER) of less than 10(-12).

This paper presents a low-power 140-GHz bi-directional amplifier exploiting the source-drain symmetry of CMOS transistors in a common-gate amplifier. The proposed bi-directional amplifier uses symmetric inter-stage matching networks to minimize the use of lossy switches on RF signal paths. The current-reuse technique is applied to share the same supply current between two adjacent stages for low power consumption. As a proof-of-concept implementation, a prototype 140-GHz 3-stage bi-directional amplifier is implemented using a 45nm RFSOI process. The fabricated chip reports a measured peak gain of 14 dB with a 3-dB bandwidth of 21 GHz and only consumes 28.5 mW of DC power. The measured input return loss is higher than 10 dB over a bandwidth > 46 GHz, and the measured average noise figure (NF) over the 3 dB bandwidth is 6.8 dB.

The cutoff voltage (V OFF) of a HEMT is an important parameter that affects its performance, and it can indeed change with self-heating. In this work, we study the effect of geometrical features of GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) device on cutoff voltage and self-heating. ASM-HEMT framework is used and improved to account for the geometrical dependencies. The model is validated with DC-IV and RF characteristics upto 20 GHz for three SSPL developed GaN HEMT devices with distinct gate periphery ((W x NF) - 75x4 mu m, 75x6 mu m and 100x8 mu m). The measured data and the modeled outcomes are in good agreement. It has been observed that the self heating and cutoff voltage shows the linear dependency on the device size (W x NF).

The spiking neuromorphic processors designed specifically for brain-inspired spiking neural networks (SNNs) are in increasing demand with the advantages of energy efficiency. Due to the limitation of on-chip resources of edge devices, large-scale input signals are typically downscaled before being processed on SNN processors. In this work, we propose the compressed sensing spiking neural network (CSSNN) method for sparse signals, which combines the compressed sensing (CS) process with the SNN classifier. This method achieves an end-to-end structure for data compression and SNN classification. As a result, the overall computation complexity is largely compressed with minimal classification accuracy loss. The input data size of the MNIST dataset is compressed to 256 and that of the N-MNIST and DVS Gesture datasets is 512. The total number of operations (OPs) of the network decreases by 65.24%, 72.52%, and 81.11%. The model size is compressed by 63.35%, 62.02%, and 62.75% respectively, without accuracy loss compared with the baseline.

This paper presents a fully integrated System-on-Chip operating from 295 K down to 4 K, capable of generating 0.7 GHz to 1.5 GHz microwave signals for 9Be+ trapped-ion quantum computer realizations. The proposed design comprises a three-channel waveform generator with integrated 48 kbit memory to generate arbitrary envelope-modulated control signals while consuming only 94 mW, which in the targeted system results in 1.9 mW/qubit. The IC is capable of driving multiple electrodes as required for all gate operations. The chip was fabricated in a 0.13 mu m SiGe BiCMOS technology. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported integrated SoC solution for qubit state control in a trapped-ion quantum computer.

Sub-Nyquist sampling, also known as compressive sensing (CS), leverages the sparsity of ultrasound signals to reduce the sampling rate required for accurate ultrasound image reconstruction. Such under-sampling can reduce the computational complexity of the reconstruction algorithm while also relaxing on-board memory requirements. This paper demonstrates up to 10x reduction in total sample count by applying CS algorithms to ultrasound imaging using coherent plane-wave compounding (CPWC), and up to 57x reduction for single plane waves by combining CS with convolution beamforming. The resulting compression facilitates processing of the acquired samples directly on portable ultrasound devices, thus eliminating the need to transmit the data to a remote cloud for processing. The proposed compressed CPWC imaging approach is suitable for efficient target localization during focused ultrasound (FUS) neuromodulation. A portable ultrasound system for FUS neuromodulation, based on a system-on-chip (SoC) module and equipped with a dual-mode wearable probe, is also presented.

This paper presents a X4 frequency multiplier MMIC realized in the IAF 50 nm mHEMT technology. It consists of two cascaded frequency doublers followed by an amplifier and was designed for an output frequency range from 70 to 82.5 GHz. This corresponds to a bandwidth of 12.5 GHz or 16.4 %. The MMIC achieves a relatively flat output power of 9.5 dBm with a variation of only +/- 0.4 dB. The unwanted harmonics were suppressed in the output spectrum by more than 52 dBc.
