Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A low-loss source-pull tuner network consisting of transmission lines and CMOS switches is integrated on the same chip with a W-band LNA in 65 nm RF CMOS technology, allowing for the accurate characterization of the optimal noise impedance of n-MOSFETs in the W-band. In a separate experiment, a W-band downconverter is integrated along with GP and LP transistors to resolve the difference in noise figures of GP and LP MOSFETs fabricated on the same die. These measurements show that, in the same technology node, GP n-MOSFETs exhibit 1 dB lower NF <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">50</sub> than LP devices. Experimental evidence is provided for the first time that the optimum noise figure current density depends linearly on the lateral electric field in the channel, but invariant between GP and LP transistors. Based on the characterized MOSFET noise parameters, GP CMOS LNAs with 6 dB and 7 dB noise figures were designed and tested at 75-85 GHz and at 80-100 GHz, respectively. These LNAs exhibit 2-3 dB lower noise figure than an equivalent CMOS LNA fabricated in a 65 nm RF LP CMOS process.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
