A Low-Power CMOS Wind Sensor

This work describes a low-power and low-cost alternative to mechanical wind sensors, suitable for volume production in standard CMOS processes. The CMOS wind sensor operates in the electro-thermal domain; therefore, it has no moving parts and therefore requires very little maintenance. Moreover, the CMOS wind sensor is an active sensor, compared...

Multi-channel Waveform Agile Radar: Experimental performance evaluation of ASTAP radar system

Recent advancements in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar techniques has created a paradigm shift in the overall radar technology to increase degrees of freedom in multi-function radar capabilities. The underlying principle of MIMO transmissions is to transmit independent waveforms from each antenna-element which do not interfere with...

A low-noise amplifier for ultrasound imaging with continuous time-gain compensation

This work presents a low-noise amplifier (LNA) for ultrasound imaging with built-in continuous time-gain compensation (TGC), which compensates for the time-dependent attenuation of the received echo signal and thus significantly reduces its dynamic range (DR). The proposed design combines the LNA and TGC functions in a single variable-gain...
