The photonic crystal slow-light modulator delivers high speed and low power dissipation by optimizing electro-optic phase matching and electrical impedance. (๐Optica) (๐OFC)
The image-rejection analog multiplexer increases signal bandwidth threefold by combining digital signal processing with analog multiplication. (๐IEEE T-MTT) (๐IEEE RWS)
The active balun converts single-ended signals to differential signals while maintaining a compact design and minimal imbalance. (๐IEEE TCAS-I) (๐IEEE MWSCAS)
Coupled inductors reduce the area of the differential distributed amplifier by half and enable the amplification of differential signals at frequencies up to several tens of GHz. (๐IEICE TREL) (๐IEEE ISCAS)
The trimless temperature sensor is based on an open-source design rule and is freely reusable. (GitHub Repository)
The class-AB CMOS operational amplifier consumes only 7.7 ยตA and has a slew rate of 1 V/ยตs with a 1-nF load. (Slides for 2021 and 2020)
