摘要： This invention compensates for the unintentional magnetic coupling between a first and second inductor of two different closely spaced inductors separated by a conversion circuit. A cancellation circuit formed from transistors senses the magnetic coupling in the first inductor and feeds a current opposite to the induced magnetic coupling captured by the second inductor such that the coupled magnetic coupling can be compensated and allows the first and second inductors to behave independently with regards to the coupled magnetic coupling between the first and second inductors. This allows the distance between the first and second inductors to be minimized which saves silicon area. In addition, the performance is improved since the overall capacitance in both circuits can be decreased. This cancellation technique to reduce the magnetic coupling between two closed placed inductively loaded circuits allows the design of a more compact and faster performing circuit.

摘要： Sallen-Key filters require an operational amplifier with a large input impedance and a small output impedance to meet the external filter characteristics. This invention eliminates the need for internal feedback path for stability and increases the gain of a source follower which has characteristics matching the operational amplifier in the Sallen-Key filter. The source follower provides 6 dB of AC voltage gain and is substituted for the operational amplifier in the Sallen-Key filter. The Sallen-Key filter requires a differential configuration to generate all the required signals with their complements and uses these signals in a feed forward path. Furthermore, since the source follower uses only two n-channel stacked devices, the headroom voltage is maximized to several hundred millivolts for a 1.2V voltage supply in a 40 nm CMOS technology. Thus, the required 880 MHz bandwidth of the Sallen-Key filter can be easily met using the innovative source follower.

摘要： The class-E amplifier can be tuned to pass only the fundamental frequency to the antenna by optimizing the second harmonics at the drain of the final PA driver transistor. A CPW in series with a capacitor between the PA transistor and the load forms a band pass filter that only allows the fundamental frequency to pass to the load of the antenna. A supply inductor to couple the drain of the final PA driver transistor to the power supply is tuned at the second harmonic with the parasitic capacitance of the drain of the PA transistor. A load capacitance is adjusted at the fundamental frequency to insure that the current waveform and voltage waveforms at the drain of the PA driver transistor do not overlap, thereby minimizing the parasitic power dissipation and allowing maximum energy to be applied to the antenna.

摘要： One of the critical design parameters occurs when a digital signal is converted into an analog signal. As the supply voltage drops to less than 2 times of threshold voltage to reduce leakage and save power, generating a relative large swing with a resistor-ladder DAC becomes more difficult. For a 5 bit DAC, 32 sub-arrays are used to select the appropriate voltage from the series coupled resistor network. Each sub-array uses p-channel transistors where the sub-array extracting the lowest voltage 700 mV only has a 100 mV of gate to source voltage. To compensate for the reduced gate to source voltage, the sub-arrays are partitioned into four groups. In each group, the p-channel width is increased from 2 um to 5 um, as the tap voltage drops from 1.2 V to 0.7 V. This allows the p-channel transistor with a small gate to source voltage to have a larger width thereby improving performance.
摘要翻译：当数字信号转换为模拟信号时，出现关键设计参数之一。由于电源电压下降到阈值电压的2倍以上以减少泄漏并节省功率，因此使用电阻梯形DAC产生相对较大的摆幅变得更加困难。对于5位DAC，使用32个子阵列从串联电阻网络中选择合适的电压。每个子阵列使用p沟道晶体管，其中提取最低电压700 mV的子阵列仅具有100 mV的栅极至源极电压。为了补偿栅极到源极电压的降低，子阵列被分成四组。在每组中，随着抽头电压从1.2V下降到0.7V，p沟道宽度从2um增加到5um。这允许具有较小栅极源极电压的p沟道晶体管具有较大的宽度，提高性能。

摘要： Capacitive adjustment in an RCL resonant circuit is typically performed by adjusting a DC voltage being applied to one side of the capacitor. One side of the capacitor is usually connected to either the output node or the gate of a regenerative circuit in an RCL resonant circuit. The capacitance loading the resonant circuit becomes a function of the DC voltage and the AC sinusoidal signal generated by the resonant circuit. By capacitively coupling both nodes of the capacitor, a DC voltage can control the value of the capacitor over the full swing of the output waveform. In addition, instead of the RCL resonant circuit driving a single differential function loading the outputs, each output drives an independent single ended function: thereby providing two simultaneous operations being determined in place of the one differential function.

摘要： A cascode common source and common gate LNAs operating at 60 GHz are introduced and described. The cascode common source LNA is simulated to arrive at an optimum ratio of upper device width to the lower device width. The voltage output of the cascode common source LNA is translated into a current to feed and apply energy to the mixer stage. These input current signals apply the energy associated with the current directly into the switched capacitors in the mixer to minimize the overall power dissipation of the system. The LNA is capacitively coupled to the mixer switches in the I and Q mixers and are enabled and disabled by the clocks generated by the quadrature oscillator. These signals are then amplified by a differential amplifier to generate the sum and difference frequency spectra.

摘要： A large gain is used to start up the oscillation of the crystal quickly. Once the oscillation starts, the amplitude is detected. A control circuit determines based on the measured amplitude to disable a low resistance path in the controlled switch array to reduce the applied gain below the power dissipation specification of the crystal. Another technique introduces a mixed-signal controlled power supply multi-path resistive array which tailors the maximum current to the crystal. A successive approximation register converts the amplitude into several partitions and enables/disables one of several power routing paths to the inverter of the oscillator. This allows a better match between the crystal selected by the customer and the on-chip drive circuitry to power up the oscillator without stressing the crystal. The “l/f” noise of the oscillator circuit is minimized by operating transistors in the triode region instead of the linear region.

摘要： A portable unit with an endfire antenna and operating at 60 GHz makes an optimum communication channel with an endfire antenna in an array of antennas distributed over the area of a ceiling. The portable unit is pointed towards the ceiling and the system controlling the ceiling units selects and adjusts the positioning of an endfire antenna mounted on a 3-D adjustable rotatable unit. Several transceivers can be mounted together, offset from one another, to provide a wide coverage in both azimuth direction and elevation direction. These units can be rigidly mounted as an array in a ceiling apparatus. The system controlling the ceiling array selects one of the transceivers in one of the units to make the optimum communication channel to the portable unit. The system includes the integration of power management features by switching between Wi-Fi in favor of the 60 GHz channel.
