  • low power transceiver Analog Front end circuits for bidirectional high data rate wireless telemetry in medical endoscopy applications
    IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2007
    Co-Authors: Guolin Li, Zhihua Wang
    Abstract:

    State-of-the-art endoscopy systems require electronics allowing for real-time, bidirectional data transfer. Proposed are 2.4-GHz low-power transceiver Analog Front-end circuits for bidirectional high data rate wireless telemetry in medical endoscopy applications. The prototype integrates a low-IF receiver Analog Front-end [low noise amplifier (LNA), double balanced down-converter, bandpass-filtered automatic gain controlled (AGC) loop and amplitude-shift keying (ASK) demodulator], and a direct up-conversion transmitter Analog Front-end [20-MHz IF phase-locked loop (PLL) with well-defined amplitude control circuit, ASK modulator, up-converter, and power amplifier] on a single chip together with an internal radio frequency oscillator and local oscillating (LO) buffers. Design tradeoffs have been made over the boundaries of the different building blocks to optimize the overall system performance. All building blocks feature circuit topologies that enable comfortable operation at low power consumption. The circuits have been implemented in a 0.25-mum CMOS process. The measured sensitivity of the receiver Analog Front-end is -70 dBm with a data rate of 256 kbps, and the measured output power of the transmitter Analog Front-end could achieve -23 dBm with a data rate of 1 Mbps. The integrated circuit consumes a current of 6 mA in receiver mode and 5.6 mA in transmitter mode with a power supply of 2.5 V. This paper shows the feasibility of achieving the Analog performance required by the wireless endoscopy capsule system in 0.25 mum CMOS.

    Abstract:

    This work presents the design and implementation of a 2.4 GHz low power wireless transceiver Analog Front-end for the endoscopy capsule system in 0.25 μm CMOS. The prototype integrates a low-IF receiver Analog Front-end (low noise amplifier, double-balanced down-converter, band-pass-filtered AGC loop, and ASK demodulator) and a direct-conversion transmitter Analog Front-end (20 MHz IF PLL with well-defined amplitude control circuit, ASK modulator, up-converter, and output buffer) on a single chip together with one integrated RF oscillator and two LO buffers. Trade-off has been made over the design boundaries of the different building blocks to optimize the overall system performance. All building blocks feature the circuit topologies that enable comfortable operation at low power consumption. As a result, the IC works at a 2.5 V power supply, while only consuming 15 mW in receiver (RX) mode and 14 mW in transmitter (TX) mode. To build a complete transceiver for the endoscopy capsule system, only an antenna, a duplexer, and a digital controller are needed besides the presented Analog Front-end chip.

    Abstract:

    This paper describes the design of an ultra low power Analog Front-end circuitry for UHF passive RFID transponder. The overall circuits include voltage multiplier, voltage regulator, power-on-reset, ring oscillator, voltage reference and demodulator. Simulation results using a 0.35 mum CMOS process parameters show that the Analog Front-end can operate with the minimum input power 240 muW, while consuming only 1.2 muW

  • Modeling, Design, and Verification for the Analog Front-End of a MEMS-Based Parallel Scanning-Probe Storage Device
    IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, 2007
    Co-Authors: Christoph Hagleitner, T. Bonaccio, Hugo E. Rothuizen, Jan Lienemann, Dorothea Wiesmann, Giovanni Cherubini, Jan G. Korvink, Evangelos Eleftheriou
    Abstract:

    We present an integrated Analog Front-end (AFE) for the read-channel of a parallel scanning-probe storage device. The read/write element is based on an array of microfabricated silicon cantilevers equipped with heating elements to form nanometer-sized indentations in a polymer surface using integral atomic-force microscope (AFM) tips. An accurate cantilever model based on the combination of a thermal/electrical lumped-element model and a behavioral model of the electrostatic/mechanical part are introduced. The behavioral model of the electrostatic/mechanical part is automatically generated from a full finite-element model (FEM). The model is completely implemented in Verilog-A and was used to co-develop the integrated Analog Front-end circuitry together with the read/write cantilever. The cantilever model and the Analog Front-end were simulated together and the results were experimentally verified. The approach chosen is well suited for system-level simulation and verification/extraction in a design environment based on standard EDA tools.
