Bootsman, R.J. (author), Shen, Y. (author), Mul, D.P.N. (author), Rousstia, Mohadig (author), Heeres, Rob (author), van Rijs, Fred (author), Gajadharsing, John (author), Alavi, S.M. (author), de Vreede, L.C.N. (author)A high-power fully-digital Doherty transmitter (DDTX) is proposed. It features two segmented LDMOS output switch banks implemented in a custom V T -down-shifted LDMOS technology. A 40 nm CMOS controller digitally activates the individual LDMOS gate segments of the output stage at RF speed. An inverted Doherty power combiner is proposed that...conference paper 2022

Beikmirza, M.R. (author), Shen, Y. (author), de Vreede, L.C.N. (author), Alavi, S.M. (author)A 40nm CMOS wideband digital Cartesian push-pull inverted Doherty operating in class-E is presented. Wideband Doherty operation is achieved over a 1.9-to-3GHz frequency band, using an off-chip power combining network. The fully digital transmitter (DTX) provides 25.3dBm peak power with a drain/DTX line-up efficiency (DE/SE) of 58.7%/44.9%,...conference paper 2022

Van DIjk, Jeroen Petrus Gerardus (author), Patra, B (author), Xue, X. (author), Samkharadze, Nodar (author), Corna, A. (author), Sammak, A. (author), Scappucci, G. (author), Veldhorst, M. (author), Vandersypen, L.M.K. (author), Charbon-Iwasaki-Charbon, E. (author), Babaie, M. (author), Sebastiano, F. (author)Building a large-scale quantum computer requires the co-optimization of both the quantum bits (qubits) and their control electronics. By operating the CMOS control circuits at cryogenic temperatures (cryo-CMOS), and hence in close proximity to the cryogenic solid-state qubits, a compact quantum-computing system can be achieved, thus promising...journal article 2020

Hashemi, M. (author), Zhou, Lei (author), Shen, Y. (author), de Vreede, L.C.N. (author)This article presents the first application of a digital-intensive intrinsically linear digitally controlled class-E technique in a Doherty configuration. By careful nonlinear segmentation and multiphase RF-clocking along with overdrive-voltage control and automatic duty-cycle correction, it is shown that even the nonlinearities related to...journal article 2019
