Low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) in massive multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems can significantly reduce the power, cost, and interconnect data rates of infrastructure basestations. Thus,…

Interleaved ADCs are critical for applications requiring multi-gigasample per second (GS/s) rates, but their performance is often limited by offset, gain, and timing skew mismatches across the sub-ADCs. We propose exact but compact…

In this contribution, it is proposes to limit the quantization search space of a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter through an analytic derivation of maximum possible sample-to-sample variation. The presented example…

We propose a novel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) weighting architecture that statistically minimizes the distortion caused by random current mismatches. Unlike binary, thermometer-coded, and segmented DACs, the current weights of the…

Time-division-duplexing massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems estimate the channel state information (CSI) by leveraging the uplink-downlink channel reciprocity, which is no longer valid when the mismatch arises from the…

Reduction of comparison cycles leads to power savings of a successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADC). We establish that the lowest average number of comparison cycles of a SAR ADC approaches the entropy of…

Conventional analog and mixed-signal (AMS) circuit designs heavily rely on manual effort, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This paper presents a fully automated design methodology for Successive Approximation Register (SAR)…

The II-IV-N$_2$ class of heterovalent ternary nitrides have gained significant interest as alternatives to the III-nitrides for electronic and optoelectronic applications. In this study, we apply first-principles calculations based on…

Deep neural networks are widely deployed in many fields. Due to the in-situ computation (known as processing in memory) capacity of the Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) crossbar, ReRAM-based accelerator shows potential in accelerating…

We propose a novel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) weighting architecture that statistically minimizes the distortion caused by random timing mismatches among current sources. To decode the DAC input codewords into corresponding DAC…

The design and measurement results of ultra-low power, fast 10-bit Successive Approximation Register (SAR) Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) prototypes in 65 nm CMOS technology are presented. Eight prototype ADCs were designed using two…

Time-interleaved ADCs (TI-ADCs) achieve high sampling rates by interleaving multiple sub-ADCs in parallel. Mismatch errors between the sub-ADCs, however, can significantly degrade the signal quality, which is a main performance bottleneck.…

The asymmetry in the angular distribution of n p --> d pi^0 due to Charge Symmetry Breaking is calculated using Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory. Recent developments in power counting have proven successful in describing total cross…

We discuss the impact of different measurements of the dbar/ubar asymmetry in the extraction of parameterizations of parton distribution functions.

Calibration is a widely used method in survey sampling to adjust weights so that estimated totals of some chosen calibration variables match known population totals or totals obtained from other sources. When a large number of auxiliary…

Defects in semiconductor crystals can have significant detrimental effects on their performance as radiation detectors. Defects cause charge trapping and recombination, leading to lower signal amplitudes and poor energy resolution. We have…

We describe an isoelectronic differential apparatus designed to observe the influence on the Casimir force of the Mott-Anderson metal-insulator transition in doped semiconductors. Alternative theories of dispersion forces lead to different…

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is a key technology for enabling a wide range of applications in future wireless systems. However, the sensing performance is often degraded by model mismatches caused by geometric errors (e.g.,…

Comparators are utilised by Nyquist-rate and oversampling analog to digital converters (ADCs) to accomplish quantization and perhaps sampling. Thus, comparators have a substantial effect on the speed and accuracy of ADCs. This study…

A new method for computing hadronic effects on electroweak radiative corrections to low-energy weak interaction semileptonic processes is described. It employs high order perturbative QCD results originally derived for the Bjorken sum rule…
