This paper presents a multiband octa-phase LC VCO for SDR receiver. Four identical LC VCOs are connected by using series coupling transistor to obtain the octa-phase signal and low phase noise characteristic. For a multiband application, a band tuning circuit that consists of a switch capacitor circuit and two MOS varactors is proposed. As the MOS switch is on/off state, the frequency range will be varied. In addition, two varactors make the VCO be immune to process variation of the oscillation frequency. The VCO is designed in 0.18-um CMOS technology, consumes 12mA current from 1.8V supply voltage and operates with a frequency band from 885MHz to 1.342GHz (41% tuning range). As driving sub-harmonic mixer, the proposed VCO covers 3 standards(CDMA 2000 1x, WCDMA, WiBro). The measured phase noise is -105dBc@100kHz, -115dBc@1MHz, -130dBc@10MHz for CDMA 2000 1x, WCDMA, WiBro respectively.

In this paper, a new equivalent circuit for a defected ground structure(DGS) is proposed and adapted to design of a power amplifier for performance improvement. The DGS equivalent circuit presented in this paper consists of parallel LC resonator and parallel capacitance to describe the fringing fields due to the etched defects on the metallic ground plane, and also is used to optimize the matching circuit of a power amplifier. A previous research has also used a DGS for harmonic rejection and efficiency improvement of a power amplifier(1), however, there was no exact equivalent circuit analysis. In this paper, we suggest a novel design method and show the performance improvement of a class AB power amplifier by using the equivalent circuit of a DGS applied to output matching circuit. The design method presented in this paper can provide very accurate design results to satisfy the optimum load condition and the desirable harmonic rejection, simultaneously. As a design example, we have designed a 20W power amplifier with and without circuit simulation of DGS, and compared the measurement results.

Chua's circuit is a simple electronic network which exhibits a variety of bifurcation and attractors. The circuit consists of two capacitors, an inductor, a linear resistor, and a nonlinear resistor. In this paper we analyze a circuit obtained by replacing the parallel LC resonator in the Chua's circuit by lossless transmission line. By using the method of characteristics of this circuit we show that various periodic motions and chaotic motions can the attained according to parameter variations. From Chua's circuit with a lossless transmission line, a variety of chaotic attractors which are similar to those of the normal Chua's circuit are observed.

This paper presents the design and fabrication of a LC voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using 1-poly 6-metal mixed signal CMOS process. To obtain the high-quality factor inductor in LC resonator, patterned-ground shields (PGS) is placed under the symmetric inductor to reduce the effect from image current of resistive Si substrate. Moreover, due to the incapability of using thick top metal layer of which the thickness is over $2{\mu}m$, as used in many RF CMOS process, the structure of dual-metal layer in which we make electrically short circuit between the top metal and the next metal below it by a great number of via materials along the metal traces is adopted. The circuit operated from 2.63 GHz to 3.09 GHz tuned by accumulation-mode MOS varactor. The corresponding tuning range was 460 MHz. The measured phase noise was -115 dBc/Hz @ 1MHz offset at 2.63 GHz carrier frequency and the current consumption and the corresponding power consumption were about 2.6 mA and 4.68 mW respectively.

In this paper, the authors present the simulation results and the experimental considerations on the effects of the effects of the VCO oscillation characteristics caused by varying the length of the MSL and the composition capacitance of LC resonation circuity. Simulation was accomplished by nonlinear RF circuit simulator for designing and analyzing the RF characteristis of VCO. The samples with 3 different MSL lengths of which the length is 140mil, 280mil and 560mil respectively were fabricated by screen printing process. The oscillation frequency of each sample(VCO) was tuned to UHF band (750MHz~900MHz) by varying the capacitance of LC resonator circuit. The experimental results showed that the values of phase noise were -82, -93, -97[dBc/Hz] at 50[kHz] offset frequency, the pushing figures were 114, 94, 318[kHz] at applied voltage of $3\pm0.15$[V] and the harmonics were -21, -16, -13[dBc] for MSL lengths of 140mil 280mil, 560mil respectively. The frequency and output variation width were 779~898[MHz], -36~-33[dBm] for MSL with 140mil length; 818~836[MHz], -27.19~27.06[dBm] for 280mil; 751.54~751.198[MHz], -33.44~-33.31[dBm] for 560mil.

The LC filter design procedure of the inverter output filter is described. The transfer function of the filter output voltage to the load current is described with the capacitor value and the system time constant considering the system controller. By using the closed form of the relation between the filter capacitor value and the system time constant, the capacitor value can be calculated with the given system time constant and vice versa. It is more practical for the implementation of power and control circuit of inverter. And as the effect of the load current to the voltage distortion can be calculated from the closed form, it is possible to analyze the system how much the voltage waveform is distorted in case of the nonlinear load. All the proposed design procedure is verified with the simulation and experimental results.

Electric-field coupled power transfer (ECPT) systems employ a high frequency electric field as an energy medium to transfer power wirelessly. Existing ECPT systems have made great progress in terms of increasing the transfer distance. However, the topologies of these systems are complex, and the transfer characteristics are very sensitive to variations in the circuit parameters. This paper proposes an ECPT system with a double-sided LC network, which employs a parallel LC network on the primary side and a series LC network on the secondary side. With the same transfer distance and output power, the proposed system is simpler and less sensitive than existing systems. The expression of the optimal driving voltage for the coupling structure and the characteristics of the LC networks are also analyzed, including the transfer efficiency, parameter sensitivity and total harmonic distortion. Then, a design method for the system parameters is provided according to these characteristics. Simulations and experiments have been carried out to verify the system properties and the design method.
