A direct-conversion receiver for 500MHz-wide FCC-compliant UWB pulses in the 3.1-10.6GHz licensed band is fabricated using 0.18/spl mu/m SiGe BiCMOS. The packaged chip consists of a wideband LNA, filter, phase-splitter, 802.11a switchable notch filter, 3.1-10.6GHz LO amplifiers, mixers, and baseband channel-select filters/buffers. The average conversion gain, NF and input P1dB are 32dB, 4dB, and -41dBm respectively. The chip draws 30mA from 1.8V. Wireless testing of the receiver at 100Mbps reveals a 2.7/spl times/10/sup -3/ bit-error-rate at -81dBm sensitivity.

In this paper, we report Raman Scattering (RS) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements of Ge nanowires (NWs) grown via vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) using chemical vapor deposition silicon substrates consisting of (100) and (111) crystallographic orientations. Ge NWs grown are ~40 nm in diameter, approximately a micrometer in length, and a sharp narrow Raman peak at ~300 cm−1 indicates single crystal quality. An absence of SiGe peak in the Raman spectra indicates that SiGe interdiffusion is insignificant for the NW volume. Low temperature PL-intensity-dependence spectra indicate that the observed emission originates at the Ge NW–Si substrate interface, where SiGe intermixing has been detected. This interface is formed differently for (111) and (100) oriented Si substrates due to the <111> preferential growth direction of Ge NWs.

In this paper, we report a disposable on-chip blood serum separator using self-assembled silica microsphere filter, which can passively separate serum from human blood. A self-assembly packing method was developed for packing silica microspheres through a microfluidic channel on cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) substrate. Using the self-assembled microsphere filter, serum has been successfully separated from diluted human blood. The filters realized in this work are suitable for incorporating into a disposable polymer lab-on-a-chip, which can perform point-of-care testing (POTC) for clinical diagnostics using human blood.

In this paper we describe several novel sparsification techniques used in a fast stochastic integral equation solver to compute the mean value and the variance of capacitance of 3D interconnects with random surface roughness. With the combination of these numerical techniques, the computational cost has been reduced from O(N/sup 4/) to O(Nlog/sup 2/(N)), where N is the number of panels used for the discretization of nominal smooth surfaces. Numerical experiments show that the proposed numerical techniques are accurate and efficient.
