A low-noise synthesizer design in the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) range is complicated by
the invariably large closed-loop gain and the high operation frequency of the voltage …

Interference due to inductor crosstalk is a growing concern in modern RFICs where
inductors are placed in close proximity. A quadrupole inductor is explored as a method to …

Magnetic resonance sounding (MRS) is a geophysical method to detect aquifers directly in
the earth's magnetic field, which offers the benefit to evaluate groundwater qualitatively and …

A 4.2-to-4.6 GHz 8-shaped-inductor based LC-VCO with an orthogonal-coupled triple-coil
transformer is presented in this brief. The orthogonal-coupled triple-coil transformer is …

A Colpitts voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is presented for low-power and low-phase-
noise applications. The current efficiency of the proposed VCO is improved through g m …

BACKGROUND Unless otherwise indicated herein, the approaches described in the
background section of the instant application are not prior art to the claims in the application …

A digitally-controlled switched-capacitor RF power amplifier (SCPA) is implemented with a
transformer-based power-combiner in 90nm CMOS. The individual SCPA cores can be …

In this paper, we apply various area reduction techniques on an inductor–capacitor (LC)-
tank oscillator in order to make its size comparable to that of ring oscillators (ROs), while still …

An experimental investigation reports on the effectiveness of multi‐path and metal‐stacking
structure in regard to quality factor improvement for on‐chip 8‐shaped inductors on standard …

Aspects of the disclosure provide a device that includes a first inductor. The first inductor
includes a first coil portion having more than one turn that defines a first enclosed area and a …
