Switched current (SI) circuits use analogue memory cells as building blocks. In these cells, like in most analogue circuits,
there are hard-to-detect faults with conventional test methods. A test approach based on a built-in dynamic current sensor
(BIDCS), whose detection method weights the highest frequency components of the dynamic supply current of the circuit under
test, makes possible the detection of these faults, taking into account the changes in the slope of the dynamic supply current
induced by the fault. A study of the influence of these faults in neighbouring cells helps to minimize the number of BICS
needed in SI circuits as is shown in two algorithmic analogue-to-digital converters.

Two new configurations for the design of biquad filters with high input impedance are presented. The first configuration can synthesize low-pass and high-pass filter functions according to the passive components used. The second one can synthesize a band-pass filter function. The proposed configurations employ only one differential difference current conveyor (DDCC) as active elements and minimum number of passive elements, namely two resistors and two capacitors. Another filter topology based on DDCC is presented that allows modifying the quality factor without changing its natural frequency. All the filters enjoy low sensitivities. SPICE simulation results are given to confirm the validity of the analysis and to point out the high performance of the filters.Muhammed A. Ibrahim was born in Erbil, Iraq in 1969.

A new performance metric, Peak-Error Ratio (PER) has been presented to benchmark the performance of a class of neuron circuits
to realize neuron activation function (NAF) and its derivative (DNAF). Neuron circuits, biased in subthreshold region, based
on the asymmetric cross-coupled differential pair configuration and conventional configuration of applying small external
offset voltage at the input have been compared on the basis of PER. It is shown that the technique of using transistor asymmetry
in a cross-coupled differential pair performs on-par with that of applying external offset voltage. The neuron circuits have
been experimentally prototyped and characterized as a proof of concept on the 1.5 μm AMI technology.

In this paper, the capacity and error probability of maximal ratio combining (MRC) reception are considered for different
modulation schemes over correlated Nakagami fading channels. Based on an equivalent scalar additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN)
channel, we derive the characteristic function (CF) and the probability density function (PDF) of the signal to noise ratio
for MRC reception over Nakagami fading channels. Using these CF and PDF results, closed form error probability and capacity
expressions are obtained for PSK, PAM and QAM modulation.

Due to its cost effectiveness and reliability, wet-chemical etching of silicon is still one of the key technologies for producing
bulk-silicon microstructures. In this paper we present an approach for the design of advanced mask sets for anisotropic, wet-chemical
etching of silicon. The optimization method of genetic algorithms is used to derive suitable masks for cases where geometrically
calculated compensation structures fail. The underlying etch simulation is described as well as the optimization algorithm
itself. Design tasks of current research projects are used as examples to illustrate the advantage of using the presented
tool.

Three different kinds of two-port flexural resonators, with both clamped and free ends, and with nominal resonance frequencies
between 5 MHz and 50 MHz, were designed and fabricated. Among them, a novel free-free third-mode resonator, as well as a tunable
free-free resonator, designed to maintain a high quality factor despite its tunability, are presented. Because of reduced
energy loss in the clamps, higher quality factors are expected from free-free devices.
To estimate the resonators performance, the effect of temperature and axial stresses on the resonators is investigated: for
the clamped-clamped resonator, a theoretical model is also presented. FEM simulations are performed for the three geometries
and the results are discussed.

Multirating has been recently proposed to reduce the frequency rate of the first integrator(s) of a single-loop, or the first
stage(s) of a cascade, Sigma-Delta modulator (SDM). This is a promising technique for the design of high speed, low-power
modulators, as the first integrator (or stage) in the chain primarily determines the performances of the modulator, as well
as its power consumption. This paper presents the first implementation of a 2nd-order multirate SDM, showing different circuit
solutions. The experimental results obtained with a prototype in a standard 0.6 μm CMOS technology shows that different clock
rates can be selected for each integrator of a SDM.

This paper presents a Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) implementation of pseudo-random testing for MEMS. The technique is based on Impulse Response (IR) evaluation using pseudo-random Maximum–Length Sequences (MLS). The MLS approach is capable of providing vastly superior dynamic range in comparison to the straightforward technique using an impulse excitation and is thus an optimal solution for measurements in noisy environments and for low-power test signals. The use of a pseudo-random sequence makes the practical on-chip implementation very efficient in terms of the extra hardware required for on-chip testing. We will demonstrate the use of this technique for an on-chip fast and accurate broadband determination of MEMS behaviour, in particular for the characterisation of cantilever MEMS structures, determining their mechanical and thermal behaviour using just electrical tests.Libor Rufer has received Engineering and PhD degrees from the Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic.

The linear minimum mean-squared error (LMMSE) channel estimation for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems requires a large number of complex multiplications. We evaluate a simplified LMMSE channel estimation algorithm in a transmit diversity environment by applying a significant weight catching (SWC) technique to the LMMSE fixed weighting matrix. The SWC technique itself is based on modifying the smoothing matrix by leaving the Γ largest values in each row and turning the rest to zeros. This allows the computational complexity of the full LMMSE processor to be reduced by more than 50%. In the well known LMMSE by singular value decomposition (SVD) technique the sparse approximation is accomplished by zeroing out all but the r largest singular values. LMMSE by SVD is the preferred approximation technique for low delay spread channels. However, in channels with large delay spreads, LMMSE by SWC is a better choice in terms of computational complexity and estimation accuracy

This paper describes an initial work on a second-order bandpass Sigma-delta modulator employing crystal resonator. The aim
of this work is to explore the possibilities of realizing bandpass sigma-delta modulator using non-electronic resonators,
such as micro-mechanical resonators. The initial study is based on crystal resonators as they have similar characteristics
as the other types of resonator and are readily available. In order to obtain the desired loop transfer function, a compensation
circuit is proposed to cancel the anti-resonance in the crystal resonator. The modulator chip is fabricated in a 0.6-μ m CMOS
process. The bandpass noise shaping is demonstrated in the experiment with a 1- and 8-MHz crystal resonator, respectively.

In this paper priority is assigned to the handover calls over new call attempts and blocked handover calls are placed in a
finite storage queue. Total handover forced termination probability is evaluated and a suitable function for the mean service
time at each position in the queue is theoretically estimated. Quality of service is obtained by introducing a threshold in
the maximum waiting time of a handover call in the queue. In case the handover call mean service time at each queue position
is found to be greater than this threshold, this call will be blocked. Simulation results show that this scheme provides satisfactory
results for both types of calls.

A CMOS OTA-C low-pass notch filter for EEG application is described. The pass-band covers four bands of brain wave and provides
more than 65 dB attenuation for the 50 Hz power line interference. The OTA works in the weak inversion region and a low transconductance
of 3 nA/V is achieved. The low transconductance enables using small capacitors in the OTA-C filter so that the filter is suitable
for the multi-channel EEG integrated circuits. The measured results show the good performance of the filter for filtering
the noise in acquired EEG signals.

This paper extends the timing test model in [5] to be more realistic by including the effects of the test fixtures between
a device under test and a tester. The paper enables analyzing the trade-offs that arise between the predicted yield and the
required overall test environment timing accuracy (OTETA) which involves the tester overall timing accuracy (OTA) and the
test fixtures' impacts. We specifically focus on the application of the extended model to predict the test yield of standard
high-speed interconnects, such as PCI Express, Parallel/Serial RapidIO, and HyperTransport. The extended model reveals that
achieving an actual yield of 80% with a test escape of 300 DPM (Defects Per Million) requires an equivalent OTETA that is
about half the acceptable absolute limit of the tested parameter.

Embedded digital signal processing (DSP) systems are usually associated with real time constraints and/or high data rates
such that fully software implementations are often not satisfactory. In that case, mixed hardware/software implementations
are to be investigated. This paper presents the design of a HW/SW G.729 voice decoder dedicated to embedded systems. The decoder
has been built around, on the one hand a reconfigurable digital circuit (FPGA) to achieve the so called IP hardware part—the
autocorrelation computation—using a linear systolic array, and on the other hand a digital signal processor (DSP) for the
remainder of the algorithm. Apart such an implementation is typically driven by the use of reusable component (IP) it is of
great interest for new G729-based applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP) for example. It results in an overall reduction
of the execution time per frame. Another interesting point is the design of a parameterizable autocorrelation block which
can be useful for a wide range of applications such as GSM 13 Kbit/s, APC 9.6 Kbit/s and G723 6.3 Kbit/s and 5.3 Kbit/s. In
the G729 context and using a V50 Virtex FPGA, the execution time of this function is 10 times faster than a TMS320C6201 DSP
implementation.

A reduced-complexity iterative multiuser detection scheme is proposed. The scheme involves a simple way of choosing only K + 1 user bit vectors instead of the full-complexity 2K for the likelihood computation, thus reducing the complexity to O(K). An alternative, reduced computation method of increasing this list of vectors after each iteration is also presented. Simulations over AWGN, imperfect power control and multipath conditions demonstrate that the performance of the proposed reduced-complexity method is close to that of the full-complexity.Ju Yan Pan received the B.S.E.E. degree from Mississippi State University, U.S.A., in 1998 and the M.Eng. degree from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2002.

Four new voltage-mode universal biquadratic filters each with one input terminal and five output terminals are presented.
Each of the first two proposed circuits uses four plus-type second-generation current conveyors, two grounded capacitors and
five resistors. The third proposed circuit employs two plus-type second-generation current conveyors, one differential voltage
current conveyor, two grounded capacitors and five resistors. The fourth proposed circuit employs two multi-output second-generation
current conveyors, two grounded capacitors and five resistors. Each of the proposed circuits can realize all the standard
filter functions; highpass, bandpass, lowpass, notch and allpass, simultaneously, without changing the passive elements. The
proposed circuits enjoy the features of orthogonal controllable of resonance angular frequencies and quality factors, using
only grounded capacitors as well as low active and passive sensitivities.
