Abstract
This brief presents a new quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulator for Bluetooth applications with an optimal transaction bandwidth control. The modulator reduces the bandwidth of the modulated carrier by minimizing their transition sharpness. CMOS active transformers are developed and utilized in quadrature oscillator and multiplexer of the modulator to provide comparable phase noise performance without using spiral inductors and transformers. The performance of the modulator is assessed using a 1.6-GHz QPSK base-band modulator implemented in TSMC 0.18-mum 1.8-V CMOS technology and analyzed using SpectreRF from Cadence Design Systems with BSIM3v3 device models. The total transistor area and power consumption of the modulator are 2840 mum <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and 30 mW, respectively. The phase noise of the quadrature oscillator is 110 dBc/Hz at 500-kHz frequency offset.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
