8uW to 1mW Input Power Management IC Design for RF Energy Harvester

This master thesis project aims to design a power management block which is suitable for RF energy harvesting application with input power range from 8uW to 1mW. RF energy harvesting applications are low power Wireless Sensor Network or Transceiver with working duty cycle and average power consumption is from tens of uW to hundreds of uW. Based...

Design of a Wide-Bandwidth Magnetic Field Sensor

The combination of Hall sensors and coils can be a practical solution for obtaining a CMOS-compatible contactless current sensor with high bandwidth. A current sensitivity of 1mV/A is achieved by the Hall sensors, and the coils have a current sensitivity of about 8mV/A?µs-1. The current sensitivity is influenced by the actual die position inside...

ADPLL Design for WiMAX

The frequency synthesizer, which functions as a local oscillator, is a critical block in the transceiver. It needs to meet very stringent specifications and consume as less power as possible. Design of a traditional charge-pump PLL as the frequency synthesizer in the advanced CMOS technologies in the transceiver of advanced communication systems...

Signal Up-conversion for Integrated Radar Systems

Frequency up-conversion is an integral part of the (sub)mm wave integrated radar system that is currently developed at the TUDelft in the context of the MEMPIS program. The proposed up-converter IC allows the necessary signal modulation for the radar to be generated at a relative low frequency, after up-conversion to W-band takes place. In our...
