Four different papers involve CISL members at the upcoming ISSCC 2010. They are:
"An Ultra-Low-Power Interference-Robust IR-UWB Transceiver Chipset Using Self-Synchronizing OOK Modulation", "A Low-power Low-noise Direct-Conversion Front End with Digitally Assisted IIP2 Background
Self Calibration", "A 4-Channel, 4-Beam, 24-26GHz, Spatio-Temporal RAKE Radar Transceiver in 90nm CMOS for Vehicular Radar Applications",
"A 3.5GHz Wideband ADPLL with Fractional Spur Suppression Through TDC Dithering and Feedforward Compensation".
The first two report on
work done at CISL; the first paper is by Marco Crepaldi, Chen Li, Keith Dronson, Jorge Fernandes and Prof. Peter Kinget with the second
paper being co-authored by Yiping Feng and Prof. Peter Kinget and collaborators from Toshiba. The third paper reports on work performed
by a CISL member, Prof. Harish Krishnaswamy, primarily at the University of Southern California. The last paper involves the participation of a CISL member, Colin Weltin-Wu, in work primarily done at the University of Pavia, Italy in collaboration with ST Microelectronics. Also at ISSCC 2010, Prof. Peter Kinget will be co-teaching in the short course, "CMOS Phase-locked Loops for Frequency Synthesis", and Prof. Yannis Tsividis will be on an Evening Panel, "Stump the Panel".
Frank Zhang received the 2009 Jury Award from the Electrical
Engineering Department for his Ph.D. thesis "Ultra Wideband Pulse
Radio Receivers in Digital CMOS". The Jury Award was established in
1991 for outstanding achievement by a graduate student in the areas of
system communication or signal processing.
Congratulations to EE faculty member, Prof. Harish Krishnaswamy, who has just won the Best Thesis in Experimental Research across the entire Viterbi School of Engineering at USC for the 2008-09 academic year
