Electrical Engineering Theses and Dissertations
Consumer electronics changed the semiconductor industry by developing many new challenges for consumer products. One of the main challenges in the consumer product is that it propelled the volume of production to massive production, e.g. hundreds of millions of cell phones are produced yearly. Combined with the overproduction of consumer products, price pressure is another challenge for consumer products. Many of the new techniques used in the design and fabrication enabled the integration of more devices in the same chips. This reduced the cost of the chips, lowered the power consumption, increased the circuit operation speed, enabled more reliable implementation, …

In wireless communication systems, the millimeter-wave frequency band has been gaining more interests recently, mainly due to its wide bandwidth and ability to support high data-rate. However, challenges come with the advantages. To transmit and receive complexed data, the quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) scheme paired with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is used most commonly. In transmitter designs of such modulation schemes and frequency access schemes, two important requirements are high linearity and high efficiency. The building blocks of transmitters include power amplifiers (PA) and mixers. Nevertheless, traditional design techniques exhibit trade-offs between linearity and efficiency for PAs, and between conversion …
