A Ku-Band Fully Differential Low-Power High-Input P1dB Low-Noise Amplifier.

This paper introduces a Ku-band fully differential low-power high-input 1 dB compression point (P1dB) low-noise amplifier (LNA). A fully differential structure is employed to enhance the input P1dB, common-mode noise rejection, and second harmonic cancellation. The first stage adopts large transistors and is optimized for power consumption and noise figure (NF).

A 37-40 GHz 6-Bits Switched-Filter Phase Shifter Using 150 nm GaN HEMT.

In this paper, we present a 6-bit phase shifter designed and fabricated using the 150 nm GaN HEMT process. The designed phase shifter operates within the n260 (37~40 GHz) band, as specified in the 5G NR standard, and employs the structure of a switched-filter phase shifter. By serially connecting six single-bit phase shifters, ranging from 180° to 5.

ISO26262-Compliant Inductive Long-Stroke Linear-Position Sensors as an Alternative to Hall-Based Sensors for Automotive Applications.

To ensure safety, vehicle companies require position sensors that maintain accuracy and avoid target loss even in harsh automotive environments. Most vehicle position sensors are Hall-based, but even improved gradiometric 3D Hall sensors using the arctangent operation are vulnerable to external magnetic fields (EXMFs) and encounter difficulty at long-stroke (LS) positions. An ISO26262-compliant inductive position sensor (IPS) employing a 3.

Channel Measurement and Feasibility Test for Wireless Avionics Intra-Communications.

Wireless avionics intra-communication (WAIC) refers to a wireless communication system among electronic components (e.g., sensors and actuators) that are integrated or installed in an aircraft and it is proposed to replace heavy and expensive wired communication cables.

A High-Multi Target Resolution Focal Plane Array-Based Laser Detection and Ranging Sensor.

This paper introduces a digital-assisted multiple echo detection scheme, which utilizes the waste time of the full serial data readout period in a focal plane array (FPA)-based laser detection and ranging (LADAR) receiver. With the support of an external digital signal processor (DSP) and additional analog memory inserted into the receiver, the proposed readout scheme can effectively enhance multi-target resolution (MTR) three times higher than the conventional FPA-based LADAR, while maintaining low power consumption and a small area. A prototype chip was fabricated in a 0.

A Digital Shade-Matching Device for Dental Color Determination Using the Support Vector Machine Algorithm.

In this study, we developed a digital shade-matching device for dental color determination using the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. Shade-matching was performed using shade tabs. For the hardware, the typically used intraoral camera was modified to apply the cross-polarization scheme and block the light from outside, which can lead to shade-matching errors.
