Review of mixer design for low voltage - Low power applications

2017-09-26 , Nurulain D. , Musa F.A.S. , Muammar Mohamad Isa , Norhawati Ahmad , Shahrir Rizal Kasjoo

A mixer is used in almost all radio frequency (RF) or microwave systems for frequency translation. Nowadays, the increase market demand encouraged the industry to deliver circuit designs to create proficient and convenient equipment with very low power (LP) consumption and low voltage (LV) supply in both digital and analogue circuits. This paper focused on different Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) design topologies for LV and LP mixer design. Floating Gate Metal Oxide Semiconductor (FGMOS) is an alternative technology to replace CMOS due to their high ability for LV and LP applications. FGMOS only required a few transistors per gate and can have a shift in threshold voltage (VTH) to increase the LP and LV performances as compared to CMOS, which makes an attractive option to replace CMOS.

A planar nanodevice, known as the self-switching diode (SSD) which can be exploited as a high-speed rectifier in a wide range of applications. The non-linearity in the I-V characteristic of the SSD structure has been aimed for rectification application at GHz frequencies is reported. In this work simulation has been conducted on Si-based SSD structure with 230 nm L-shaped channels using ATLAS device simulator under the channel length range of 0.5 μm to 1.3 μm. Furthermore, the validity of the cut-off frequency has also been described using a theoretical value of f t at zero bias. The results showed that the optimization in the channel length of the SSD can assist the high cut-off frequency of SSD rectifying behavior to efficiently operate as microwave rectifier.

Logic gates are the main components inside the integrated circuit used for almost every technological application. Nowadays, in order to enhance the performance of the smart device, while targeting in cut down of the fabrication cost and achieve low power consumption, lithography-based VLSI design technology on silicon are still being widely applied. Hence, an OR gate structure, a silicon based self-switching device (SSD) is introduced and investigated in this project. Such device is believed capable to act as an alternative for a low-powered logic gate application, suitable for CMOS devices. The SSD has an advantage in term of simplicity in fabrication process with a very low threshold voltage. Since SSD characteristics is similar to a conventional diode characteristic, the gate is designed in ATLAS Silvaco device simulator based on a diode logic to perform OR logic function after a validation of the physical and materials parameters. The electrical characterization and structural analysis were also done to observe the electrical performance and physical condition in the device. The simulated design showed a good OR logic output response with the inputs, and acceptable output ranged from around 4.5 to 4.8 V with 5 V HIGH inputs. The results from this OR gate characterization may assist in developing the logic gate for device integration and may act as a reference for future complex integrated circuit design.

A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is an electronic oscillator whose oscillation frequency is controlled by a voltage input. In a VCO, low-phase noise while consuming less power is preferred. The tuning gain and noise in the control signal produce phase noise; more noise or tuning gain implies more phase noise. Sources of flicker noise (1/f noise) in the circuit, the output power level, and the loaded Q factor of the resonator are all crucial factors that influence phase noise. As a result, creating a resonator with a high Q-factor is essential for improving VCO performance. As a result, this paper describes a 12 GHz LC Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) employed with a ‘S’ shape inductor to improve phase noise and power performance. The phase noise for the VCO was reduced using a noise filtering technique. To reduce substrate loss and improve the Q factor, the inductor was designed on a high-resistivity Silicon-on-Sapphire (SOS) substrate. At 12 GHz, the optimised S’ shape inductor has the highest Q-factor of 50.217. At 10 MHz and 100 MHz, the phase noise of the 12 GHz LC-VCO was-131.33 dBc/Hz and-156.71 dBc/Hz, respectively. With a 3.3 V power supply, the VCO core consumes 26.96 mW of power. Based on the findings, it is concluded that using an ‘S’ shape inductor in the VCO circuit will enable the development of low-cost, high-performance, very low-power system-on-chip wireless transceivers with longer battery life.

In this study, a hybrid statistical analysis (Taguchi method supported by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and regression analysis) and numerical analysis (utilizing a Silvaco device simulator) was implemented to optimize the structural parameters of silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-based self-switching diodes (SSDs) to achieve a high responsivity value as a radio frequency (RF) detector. Statistical calculation was applied to study the relationship between the control factors and the output performance of an RF detector in terms of the peak curvature coefficient value and its corresponding bias voltage. Subsequently, a series of numerical simulations were performed based on Taguchi’s experimental design. The optimization results indicated an optimized curvature coefficient and voltage peak of 26.4260 V−1 and 0.05 V, respectively. The alternating current transient analysis from 3 to 10 GHz showed the highest mean current at 5 GHz and a cut-off frequency of approximately 6.50 GHz, indicating a prominent ability to function as an RF detector at 5G related frequencies.

Silicon Self-Switching Diode (SSD) as a Full-Wave Bridge Rectifier in 5G Networks Frequencies

2022-12-01 , Yi Liang T. , Nor Farhani Zakaria , Shahrir Rizal Kasjoo , Safizan Shaari , Muammar Mohamad Isa , Mohd Khairuddin Md Arshad , Singh A.K.

The rapid growth of wireless technology has improved the network’s technology from 4G to 5G, with sub-6 GHz being the centre of attention as the primary communication spectrum band. To effectively benefit this exclusive network, the improvement in the mm-wave detection of this range is crucial. In this work, a silicon self-switching device (SSD) based full-wave bridge rectifier was proposed as a candidate for a usable RF-DC converter in this frequency range. SSD has a similar operation to a conventional pn junction diode, but with advantages in fabrication simplicity where it does not require doping and junctions. The optimized structure of the SSD was cascaded and arranged to create a functional full-wave bridge rectifier with a quadratic relationship between the input voltage and outputs current. AC transient analysis and theoretical calculation performed on the full-wave rectifier shows an estimated cut-off frequency at ~12 GHz, with calculated responsivity and noise equivalent power of 1956.72 V/W and 2.3753 pW/Hz1/2, respectively. These results show the capability of silicon SSD to function as a full-wave bridge rectifier and is a potential candidate for RF-DC conversion in the targeted 5G frequency band and can be exploited for future energy harvesting application.
