High Frequency Communication and Sensing

This book is a valuable resource for experienced analog/radio frequency circuit designers as well as undergraduate-level microelectronics researchers. It introduces novel traveling wave circuit techniques to boost the performance of high-speed circuits in standard low-cost production technologies, like complementary metal oxide semiconductors. Highlights include a dual-loop coupled traveling wave oscillator topology; a force-based starter mechanism for dual-loop, even-symmetry, multiphase traveling wave oscillators; higher-frequency, passive inductive, and quarter-wave-length-based pumped distributed wave oscillators; and a unique method of traveling wave frequency multiplication and power combining.
