A Fully Integrated 900-MHz Passive RFID Transponder Front End With Novel Zero-Threshold RF-DC Rectifier

This paper presents a fully integrated CMOS analog front end for a passive 900-MHz radio-frequency identification (RFID) transponder. The power supply in this front end is generated from the received RF electromagnetic energy by using an RF-dc voltage rectifier. In order to improve the compatibility with standard CMOS technology, Schottky diodes in conventional RF-dc rectifiers are replaced by diode-connected MOS transistors with zero threshold. Meanwhile, theoretical analyses for the proposed rectifier are provided and verified by both simulation and measurement results. The design considerations of the pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) demodulator and the backscatter modulator in the front end are also discussed for low-power applications. The proposed front end is implemented in a 0.35-mu m 2P4M CMOS technology. The whole chip occupies a die area of 490 x 780 mu m(2) and consumes only 2.1 mu W in reading mode under a self-generated 1.5-V supply voltage. The measurement results show that the proposed rectifier can properly operate with a - 14.7-dBm input RF power at a power conversion efficiency of 13.0%. In the proposed RFID applications, this sensitivity corresponds to 10.88-m communication distance at 4-W equivalent isotropically radiated power from a reader base station.

A wide-band front-end for terrestrial and cable receptions

In this paper, a wide-band low noise amplifier, two mixers and a VCO with its buffers implemented in 50GHz 0.35 mu m SiGe BiCMOS technology for dual-conversion digital TV tuner front-end is presented. The LNA and up-converting mixer utilizes current injection technology to achieve high linearity. Without using inductors, the LNA achieves 0.1-1GHz wide bandwidth and 18.8-dB gain with less than 1.4-dB gain variation. The noise figure of the LNA is less than 5dB and its 1dB compression point is -2 dBm. The IIP3 of two mixers is 25-dBm. The measurement results show that the VCO has -127.27-dBc/Hz phase noise at 1-MHz offset and a linear gain of 32.4-MHz/V between 990-MHz and 1.14-GHz. The whole chip consume 253mW power with 5-V supply.

On a novel method of impact by a front-end-coated bullet to evaluate the interface adhesion between film and substrate

A preliminary experiment was carried out to validate the feasibility of the method of impact by a front-end-coated bullet to evaluate the interface adhesion between film and substrate. The theoretical description of the initiation, propagation and evolution of the stress pulse during impact was generalized and formulized. The effects of the crucial parameters on the interface stress were further investigated with FEM. The results found the promising prospect of the application of such a method and provided useful guidance for experimental design.

A CMOS front-end circuit for SONET OC-96 receiver

An optical receiver front-end for SONET OC-96 receivers was analyzed and designed in 0.18 mu m CMOS process. It consists of a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and a limiting amplifier (LA). The TIA takes a fully differential configuration, and regulated cascode (RGC) input stage is implemented. The LA was realized by five cascaded identical gain stages with active inductor load. The TIA achieved 4.2GHz bandwidth for 0.5pF photodiode (PD) capacitance and 1.2k 0 transimpedance gain. The LA achieved 5.4GHz bandwidth and 29dB voltage gain. The optical sensitivity is -19dBm at 5-Gb/s for a bit-error rate of 10(-12), and it dissipates 45.5mW for I.8V supply.

A 5.2 GHz variable-gain amplifier (VGA) and a power amplifier (PA) driver are designed for WLAN IEEE 802.11a monolithic RFIC. The VGA and the PA driver are implemented in a 50 GHz 0.35 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology and occupy 1.12×1.25 mm~2 die area. The VGA with effective temperature compensation is controlled by 5 bits and has a gain range of 34 dB. The PA driver with tuned loads utilizes a differential input, single-ended output topology, and the tuned loads resonate at 5.2 GHz.

The gain drift over the temperature varying from -30 to 85℃ converges within±3 dB. The total current consumption is 45 mA under a 2.85 V power supply.

UHF RFID 射频前端及其编解码设计

射频识别（Radio Frequency Identification，RFID）技术，是一种利用射频通信实现的非接触式的数据采集和自动识别技术（以下通称RFID技术）。而超高频射频识别技术（Ultra High Frequency RFID，UHF RFID）具有识别距离远、识别准确率高、识别速度快、抗干扰能力强等特点而成为当前研发的热点。UHF RFID读写器的难点就在于射频前端电路和基带编解码的设计，它们设计的好坏直接决定了读写器的性能好坏。 本文首先通过介绍UHF RFID读写器射频前端设计的基本原理，采用射频通用收发模块进行射频前端设计的方法，给出了以ADF7020收发芯片为核心的UHF RFID读写器的射频前端的整体设计和具体的实现电路，设计了包括射频收发电路、射频前端匹配电路、滤波电路、环行器电路、功率放大电路等。 其次根据EPC Gen-2的协议标准进行了UHF RFID读写器的基带编码解码的仿真设计，然后开发了以FPGA为核心的完整的数字基带硬件电路，实际调试表明整个基带编解码软件在硬件基带PCB板上运行状况良好，并能对EPC Gen-2的协议标准的命令进行正确的编码解码。 最后通过研究学习软件无线电的理论和开发方法，把UHF　RFID读写器的射频前端分成射频模拟前端和射频数字前端，给出了一种基于软件无线电思想的UHF RFID射频数字前端设计模型，并借助于SIMULINK中的信号处理工具箱对构建的数字前端的进行仿真验证，仿真结果验证了用软件无线电实现UHF RFID数字前端的可行性。

EVALUATION OF FILM-SUBSTRATE ADHESION VIA IMPACT USING COATED BULLETS

A method was devised to evaluate the adhesion between a film and a substrate. A front-end coated bullet is accelerated by a gas gun and hits the substrate of the specimen under test. The impact generates a compressive stress pulse that propagates toward the film. After transmission through the interface, part of the pulse is reflected on the free surface of the film, and tensile stress arises at the film-substrate interface, possibly inducing debonding of the film. This dynamic process was demonstrated analytically and simulated numerically by the finite element method. The results validate the initial concept and lay the foundation for further optimization of this method.

支持JSR286规范的Portlet协作框架的设计与实现

Portlet是具有用户界面的可与用户多次交互的Web组件。随着Portal和Portlet在企业中的广泛应用，仅仅将各种应用和数据通过Portlet集成到Portal中已经不能满足用户的需求。用户希望这些应用之间能够相互协作，以利用现有应用组建新的业务流程。Portlet协作是指两个或多个Portlet进行信息交换并使用这些信息的能力。目前协作功能的实现方式可以分为两种：基于后端(back-end)的实现方式与基于前端(front-end)的实现方式。在这两种协作实现方式的基础上，本文提出了两种Portlet协作框架。 本文提出一种基于事件的Portlet前端协作模型，通过引入此模型，解决了Portlet前端协作中客户端与服务器端无法交互的困难，使协作动作由客户端和服务器端共同完成。基于此模型提供给开发者一种可扩展的协作框架，利用JavaScript技术使得协作的Portlet在客户端“相知”，协作的行为在客户端触发，Portlet获得协作数据后使用Ajax技术请求服务器端的资源，服务器端使用JSR286规范定义的资源服务接口响应用户的请求，进而动态更新界面。 当前的Portlet后端协作方式依赖于特定的Portal产品，针对这点不足，本文在JSR286规范定义的事件及共享渲染参数协作机制基础上，实现了一个Portlet后端协作框架。在该框架中协作服务使用消息队列保存待处理的消息，Portlet 容器作为中介实现发布事件的Portlet和订阅事件的Portlet之间松散耦合。Portlet监听协作事件，事件触发后调用事件协作服务发布事件，为了提高协作的并发性，事件协作服务使用多线程处理协作事件。该协作框架与JSR286规范兼容，具有良好的可移植性。 本文对这两种Portlet协作框架进行了实现，并将其应用于中科院软件所自主开发的门户产品OncePortal中。本文重构了OncePortal系统，给出了框架的体系结构与系统接口，描述了框架的各功能模块，并详细讨论了Portlet协作框架中的关键技术，包括事件协作流程的描述、事件处理过程、多级事件流等。

Multi-strip MRPCs for FOPI

During the last years FOPI has developed a new ToF system as an upgrade of the existing detector based on Multi-strip Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MMRPCs). The intention is to increase the charged Kaon identification up to a laboratory momentum of 1 GeV/c and to enhance the azimuthal detector granularity. The new ToF barrel has an active area of 5 m(2) with 2400 individual strips (900 x 1.6 mm(2)) [A. Schuttauf, et al., Nucl. Phys. B 158 (2006) 52] which are read out on both sides by a custom designed electronics [M. Ciobanu, et al., IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. NS-54 (4) (2007) 1201; K. Koch, et al., IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. NS-52(3) (2005) 745]. To reach the envisaged goal a time resolution of 100 ps is needed, at a flight path of 1-1.3 m. Due to the rare production of the K- at SIS energies the efficiency of the MMRPCs has to be above 95%. We report on measurements with the detectors and electronics from the mass production line. For this purpose we used a proton beam at 2.0 and 1.25 GeV, at rates between 0.1 and 5 kHz/cm(2) to determine the timing, efficiency and rate capability of the MMRPCs

The Compact Pulsed Hadron Source: A Design Perspective

During the past. decades, large-scale national neutron sources have been developed in Asia, Europe, and North America. Complementing such efforts, compact hadron beam complexes and neutron sources intended to serve primarily universities and industrial institutes have been proposed, and some have recently been established. Responding to the demand in China for pulsed neutron/proton-beam platforms that are dedicated to fundamental and applied research for users in multiple disciplines from materials characterization to hadron therapy and radiography to accelerator-driven sub-critical reactor systems (ADS) for nuclear waste transmutation, we have initiated the construction of a compact, yet expandable, accelerator complex-the Compact Pulsed Hadron Source (CPHS). It consists of an accelerator front-end (a high-intensity ion source, a 3-MeV radio-frequency quadrupole linac (RFQ), and a 13-MeV drift-tube linac (DTL)), a neutron target station (a beryllium target with solid methane and room-temperature water moderators/reflector), and experimental stations for neutron imaging/radiography, small-angle scattering, and proton irradiation. In the future, the CPHS may also serve as an injector to a ring for proton therapy and radiography or as the front end to an ADS test facility. In this paper, we describe the design of the CPHS technical systems and its intended operation.
