Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sicong Xia"
- Sicong Xia's recent research focuses on enhancing the performance and efficiency of digital controlled oscillators (DCOs), particularly in the context of millimeter-wave applications.
- In the 2024 article titled "An optimized DCO with modified binary-weighted DCTLs based hybrid tuning banks for an E-band DPLL," Xia introduces an optimized DCO designed using a 40-nm CMOS process, which integrates modified binary-weighted digitally controlled transmission lines (DCTLs).
- The findings highlight improvements in tuning precision and die size of the DCO, achieved through innovative design changes that enhance resonant frequency and reduce phase noise, thereby providing better performance without increasing complexity.
