We review recent advances in the modeling of novel and advanced semiconductor devices, including state-of-the-art MESFET and HFETs, heterodimensional FETs, resonant tunneling devices, and wide-bandgap semiconductor transistors. We emphasize analytical, physics-based modeling incorporating the important effects present in modern day devices, including deep sub-micrometer devices. Such an approach is needed in order to accurately describe and predict both stationary and dynamic device behavior and to make the models suitable for implementation in advanced computer aided design tool including circuit simulators such as SPICE.

A real-time, low-power video encoder design for pyramid vector quantization (PVQ) has been presented. The quantizer is estimated to dissipate only 2.1 mW for real-time video compression of images of 256 × 256 pixels at 30 frames per second in standard 0.8-micron CMOS technology with a 1.5 V supply. Applying this quantizer to subband decomposed images, the quantizer performs better than JPEG on average. We achieve this high level of power efficiency with image quality exceeding that of variable rate codes through algorithmic and architectural reformulation. The PVQ encoder is well-suited for wireless, portable communication applications.

This paper details the use of a circuit-based EM modelling technique combined with a harmonic balance simulator used to model the radiation from the microstrip bodies comprising an active antenna circuit. The modelling approach adopted for the planar bodies in the circuit will be shown to allow the use of concurrent algorithms in order to reduce overall computational time.

This paper describes the implementation of transmission-line matrix (TLM) method algorithms on a massively parallel computer (DECmpp 12000), the technique of distributed computing in the UNIX environment, and the combination of TLM analysis with Prony's method as well as with autoregressive moving average (ARMA) digital signal processing for electromagnetic field modelling. By combining these advanced computation techniques, typical electromagnetic field modelling of microwave structures by TLM analysis can be accelerated by a few orders of magnitude.

In this paper a novel algorithm is presented for the efficient two-dimensional (2-D) symmetric noncausal finite impulse response (FIR) filtering and autoregressive (AR) modeling. Symmetric filter masks of general boundaries are allowed. The proposed algorithm offers the greatest maneuverability in the 2-D index space in a computational efficient way. This flexibility can be taken into advantage if the shape of the 2-D mask is not a priori known and has to be dynamically configured.< >

As the speed and linearity requirements become harder to meet for analog circuits, it is no longer enough to rely on feedback to enhance linearity. Negative feedback suppresses nonlinearities by a factor equal to the loop gain. This works well at low signal frequencies, but as the signal frequency increases the loop gain drops. Thus, with a limited bandwidth available, nonlinearities should be suppressed at their origin. In this paper, we consider a major source of nonlinearity, namely the input differential pair (IDP) with a cascode current source, commonly used in op-amps. Then a new and simple IDP with a matched channel-length single-device current source is introduced. We show that the modified IDP is more linear and thus creates less harmonics than conventional ones, and that by satisfying a nonrestrictive condition all even harmonics can be eliminated. Experimental results are described which verify the expected reduction of harmonic distortion.< >
