    Process and terminations variations aware stability criteria for microwave amplifiers

    No full text
    Two novel process variations aware, necessary and sufficient conditions suitable for implementation in CAD optimizers are proposed to check amplifiers stability. Case studies are presented, showing that the new criteria allow robust amplifier design, under variation of active device immittance parameters in pre-specified rectangular regions, due to manufacturing tolerances.

    Integrated design tool for fiber-optic analog links

    No full text
    An integrated tool for the analysis and design of optical analog links is proposed, in order to permit optimization of joint performance of the modulator and of its electrical driver within a microwave circuital CAD. The tool comprises a circuital model of the Mach-Zehnder modulator, and a FEM simulator for modulator design from a given physical and geometrical structure. A case study of design and analysis of a broadband link operating at frequencies as high as 35 GHz is presented, to illustrate advantages of the proposed tool. © 2011 IEEE
