ABSTRACT The 7-GHz unlicensed band around 60 GHz offers the possibility of wireless communication at data rates reaching several gigabits per second. Moreover, the short wavelength allows integration of the antenna on-chip and opens prospects for beamforming and MIMO signaling. With multiple antennas and transceivers operating on one chip, and with the enormous analog and digital signal processing required for high-rate communications, the use of CMOS technology becomes attractive and perhaps essential. This seminar presents the challenges in circuit and architecture design for 60-GHz CMOS transceivers and summarizes recent work on such critical building blocks as receiver front ends, transmitter front ends, and frequency dividers.

Data conversion is the conversion of computer data from one format to another. Throughout a computer environment, data is encoded in a variety of ways. For example, computer hardware is built on the basis of certain standards, which requires that data contains, for example, parity bit checks. Similarly, the operating system is predicated on certain standards for data and file handling. Furthermore, each computer program handles data in a different manner. Whenever any one of these variables is changed, data must be converted in some way before it can be used by a different computer, operating system or program. Even different versions of these elements usually involve different data structures. For example, the changing of bits from one format to another, usually for the purpose of application interoperability or of the capability of using new features, is merely a data conversion. Data conversions may be as simple as the conversion of a text file from one character encoding system to another; or more complex, such as the conversion of office file formats, or the conversion of image formats and audio file formats.

The devices which perform the interfacing function between analog and digital worlds are analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converters, which together are known as data converters. Some of the specific applications in which data converters are used include data telemetry systems, pulse code modulated communications, automatic test systems, computer display systems, video signal processing systems, data logging systems, and sampled data control systems. In addition, every laboratory digital multimeter or digital panel meter contains an A/D converter.

Develops methods of analysis and design of both combinational and sequential systems regarding digital circuits as functional blocks. Utilizes demonstrations and laboratory projects consisting of building hardware on breadboards and simulation of design using CAD tools. Topics include: number systems and codes; switching algebra and switching functions; standard combinational modules and arithmetic circuits; realization of switching functions; latches and flip-flops; standard sequential modules; memory, combinational, and sequential PLDs and their applications; design of system controllers.

This is the first non-linear electronics class that introduces the students to the fundamentals of the circuit design through the architecture of a modern electronics system at the interface with sensors and actuators. Modeling of the non-linear devices, diode and MOS transistors, is presented, along with basic properties of MOS transistors for analog (amplification) and digital (switching) IC circuit design. Operational amplifier ideal and non-ideal models are explored along with the concepts of the feedback and stability. Signal conditioning circuits (fixed-gain, difference and instrumentation amplifiers, active filters), signal shaping circuits (rectifier, clipper, peak detector) and oscillators are presented. Basics of sample and hold circuit, data converters, digital signal processing platforms and radios are presented.

Fundamental design of microcontroller-based electronic systems. Topics include system level architecture, microcontrollers, memory, configurable ports, peripheral ICs, interrupts, sensors, and actuators, serial data protocols, assembly language programming, debugging, and table driven FSMs. Hardware/software trade-offs in implementing system functions. Hardware and software design are equally emphasized. Laboratory work involves design, implementation, and verification of microcontroller systems. This course has an associated fee. Please see www.stonybrook.edu/coursefees for more information.

Design of electronic instrumentation: structure of basic measurement systems, transducers, analysis and characteristics of operational amplifiers, analog signal conditioning with operational amplifiers, sampling, multiplexing, A/D and D/A conversion; digital signal conditioning, data input and display, and automated measurement systems. Application of measurement systems to pollution and to biomedical and industrial monitoring is considered.

The course aims to introduce students to basic concepts of classical control theory, such as closed-loop systems, root-locus analysis, Bode diagrams and Nyquist Criterion, and their applications in electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical systems. The students are expected to master the methods for control systems design including basic feedback control and PID control, which have a major application in the design of process control systems for industry. 2b1af7f3a8
