The detrimental impact of toxic chemicals, gas, and oil spills in aquatic environments poses a severe threat to plants, animals, and human life. Regions such as Cancer Alley exemplify the profound consequences of inadequately controlled chemical spil...
A power-efficient 16-bit 1-MS/s successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is presented in this paper. High-bit sampling makes the bridge capacitance in the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) a unit one, eliminating frac...
This paper presents an in-depth analysis of an excitable membrane of a biological system by proposing a novel approach that the cells of the excitable membrane can be modeled as the networks of memristors. We provide compelling evidence from the Chay...
Modeling in an emerging technology like RRAM devices is one of the pivotal concerns for its development. In the current bibliography, most of the models face difficulties in implementing or simulating unconventional scenarios, particularly when deali...
Recently, there has been a huge advancement in renewable energy integration in power systems. Power converters with grid-forming or grid-following topologies are typically employed to link these decentralized power sources to the grid. However, becau...
Deep-brain stimulation (DBS) is a highly effective and safe medical treatment that improves the lives of patients with a wide range of neurological and psychiatric diseases. It has been established as a first-line tool in the treatment of these condi...
Wireless short-range communication has become widespread in the modern era, partly due to the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart technology. This technology is now utilized in various sectors, including lighting, medical, and indus...
A low-complexity multibeam wideband transmit beamformer using a 2D sparse FIR filter design capable of multiple beams is proposed as a digital building block for fully digital beamformers. The 2D sparse FIR filter has multiple trapezoid-shaped passba...
An N-bit priority resolver having N inputs and N outputs functions as polling hardware in an embedded system, enabling access to a resource when multiple devices initiate access requests at its inputs which may be located on-chip or off-chip. Subsyst...
Reconfigurable FETs (RFETs) are widely recognized as a promising way to overcome conventional CMOS architectures. This paper presents novel addition circuit intentionally designed to exploit the ability of RFETs to operate efficiently on demand as n-...
In the realm of autonomous vehicle technology, the multimodal vehicle detection network (MVDNet) represents a significant leap forward, particularly in the challenging context of weather conditions. This paper focuses on the enhancement of MVDNet thr...
In this paper, a low-power Injection-Locked Clock and Data Recovery (ILCDR) using a 28 nm Ultra-Thin Body and Box-Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator (UTBB-FDSOI) technology is presented. The back-gate auto-biasing of UTBB-FDSOI transistors enables t...
In this paper, we present a 0.3 V body-driven operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) that exploits a biasing approach based on the use of a replica loop with gain. An auxiliary amplifier is exploited both in the current mirror load of the first...
In this paper, a novel kind of mode composite transmission line (MC-TL) is proposed, and a dual-band power divider with a large frequency ratio using this novel MC-TL for 5G communication systems was developed. The proposed MC-TL was developed using...
Citizen science reinforces the development of emergent tools for the surveillance, monitoring, and early detection of biological invasions, enhancing biosecurity resilience. The contribution of farmers and farm citizens is vital, as volunteers can st...
In this paper, a wideband VCO that covers popular Long-Term Evolution (LTE) 0.7 GHz and LTE 2.6 GHz frequencies is designed and developed in a standard 0.18 μm CMOS process. The VCO utilizes active inductors to achieve coarse-tuning of the inducta...
