A global car radio IC with inaudible signal quality checks
K. Kianush,Cicero S. Vaucher +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a double-conversion receiver architecture with inaudible quality checks is proposed for in-car entertainment ICs, which is suitable for global applications and requires no mechanical alignment.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Phase noise in frequency divider circuits
TL;DR: The measurements are used to validate the simulated values obtained by time domain phase noise analysis offered by the commercial simulator Spectre RF and show good agreement with the simulation results.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A 60GHz wideband low noise eight-element phased array RX front-end for beam steering communication applications in 45nm CMOS
Salvatore Drago,M.C.A. van Schie,A.J.M. de Graauw,Juan F. Osorio,Maristella Spella,Yikun Yu,Cicero S. Vaucher,R. Pijper,L.F. Tiemeijer +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, an 8-elements phased array receiver front-end in 45nm CMOS technology is presented, which uses a 4-bit resolution RF phase shifter to compensate for the free-space propagation delay and an active eight-to-one power combiner enabling beamforming.
Proceedings Article
A 15mW fully integrated I/Q synthesizer for bluetooth in 0.18µm CMOS
TL;DR: A low-power fully integrated synthesizer for Bluetooth applications is presented and Measurements have been performed on packaged samples mounted on a FR-4 board and show that the B luetooth requirements are met.

A method and system for forming an antenna pattern
TL;DR: In this article, a control current which is added at the output node of the charge pump (26) and/or (27) is used to control the phase shift of the antenna signals.
