Implementation of electron beam grey scale lithography and proximity effect correction for silicon nanowire device fabrication

An electron beam lithography exposure strategy combining efficient proximity effect correction (PEC) with multi-pass grey scale is compared with a more conventional strategy based on a single-pass exposure without PEC. Exposure results for different types of nanowire structures are presented. Line edge and line width roughness (LER and LWR) values for both approaches are determined. The novel exposure strategy presented in this work reduced LER by ∼25% and LWR by ∼40%.     

Enhancing both network and user performance for networks supporting best effort traffic

With a view on improving user-perceived performance on networks supporting best effort flows, e.g., multimedia/data file transfers, we propose a family of bandwidth allocation criteria that depends on the residual work of on-going transfers. Analysis and simulations show that allocating bandwidth in this fashion can significantly improve the user-perceived delay, bit transmission delay, and throughput over traditional approaches, e.g., by 58% on an 80% loaded linear network. A simple implementation based on TCP Reno, exemplifies how one might approach practically realizing such gains. We discuss several other advantages of incorporating such differentiation at the transport level. In particular we make the case that favoring small transfers combined with user impatience or peak rate constraints, both of which are natural mechanisms for users to express the utility of completing transfers, offers a lightweight approach to achieving good overall network goodput and/or utility for best effort networks.     

Transverse modes under external feedback and fiber couplingefficiencies of VCSEL's

We report a detailed study on the transverse mode behavior of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL's) under strong external feedback. Backreflections from a glass facet result, periodically depending on the feedback phase, in variations of the transverse mode pattern of strongly index guided multitransverse-mode-emitting lasers. As a result, butt-coupling efficiencies of these lasers strongly depend on laser-fiber distance. For typical active VCSEL diameters around 15-μm fiber-coupled powers into standard 50 μm-core diameter graded-index (GI) silica fibers vary by nearly 10 dB. Even for high-numerical aperture 100-μm-core diameter fibers, power variations of up to 2 dB are observed

Entwurf nichtrekursiver Digitalfilter mit beliebigen Betrags- und Phasengängen

This paper presents an efficient multiple exchange algorithm for the frequency domain design of digital FIR filters with arbitrary magnitude and phase responses. The designed filters minimize theL ₂ norm of the weighted complex frequency domain error function subject to constraints on the resulting magnitude and phase errors. This general design criterion allows for an arbitrary trade-off between complexL ₂ approximation and Chebyshev approximation of given magnitude and phase responses. The optimization can be carried out by iteratively solving small quadratic programs. These linearly constrained subproblems can be solved using robust standard software.

Protocol-aided channel equalization in wireless ATM

We study the equalization problem in time division multiple access wireless asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) systems. Aiming at minimizing the overhead associated with equalization, we propose a protocol-aided channel equalization (PACE) approach for wireless ATM. Specifically, the medium access control (MAC) and data link control (DLC) protocols are exploited to provide known ATM cell headers to the receiver at the base station. A blind channel estimation-decision feedback equalizer (BCE-DFE) algorithm is developed for uplink data transmissions. There are two advantages of the BCE-DFE algorithm: the elimination of training symbols for uplink data bursts and the removal of channel estimation error propagation suffered by conventional block equalization schemes. Simulation results show the BCE-DFE has a robust performance for wireless ATM uplink data transmissions over fast time-varying channels

Analysis of the Survivability of GaN Low-Noise Amplifiers

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the stressing mechanisms for highly rugged low-noise GaN monolithic-microwave integrated-circuit amplifiers operated at extremely high input powers. As an example, a low-noise amplifier (LNA) operating in the 3-7-GHz frequency band is used. A noise figure (NF) below 2.3 dB is measured from 3.5 to 7 GHz with NF<1.8 dB between 5-7 GHz. This device survived 33 dBm of available RF input power for 16 h without any change in low-noise performance. The stress mechanisms at high input powers are identified by systematic measurements of an LNA and a single high electron-mobility transistor in the frequency and time domains. It is shown that the gate dc current, which occurs due to self-biasing, is the most critical factor regarding survivability. A series resistance in the gate dc feed can reduce this gate current by feedback, and may be used to improve LNA ruggedness
