This paper presents a 28 GHz QVCO intended to be used in an 81-86 GHz E-band transceiver. E-band transceivers using e.g. 16 QAM modulation schemes are sensitive to I/Q phase error. Already a three degree error significantly degrades the bit error rate, and careful control of the phase error of the 28 GHz QVCO is therefore required. In the presented design the phase error can be tuned using four va

Popular Abstract in Swedish Då reumatisk värk och artros är en växande folksjukdom har vi valt att studera proteiner som är involverade i dessa sjukdomar. Vi har arbetat med proteiner som finns i utrymmet utanför cellerna, dvs. den extracellulära matrisen. Cellerna formar sin egen närliggande miljö genom att utsöndra diverse proteiner. Dessa proteiner bildar sedan ett komplext nätverk med varandraThe cells of higher organisms exist in a complex protein network, the extracellular matrix (ECM), which has a wide variety of different components such as glycoproteins, proteoglycans and carbohydrates. As well as being the physical scaffold on which the cells are dependent for their positioning and mobility, the ECM exercises control over the cells, and changes in the matrix will affect the adhes

Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine/threonine protein kinases that plays a central role in transducing extracellular signals into a variety of intracellular responses ranging from cell proliferation to apoptosis. Nine PKC genes have been identified in the human genome, which encode 10 proteins. Each member of this protein kinase family displays distinct biochemical characteristics and is

This well-written paper is devoted to proving pointwise gradient estimates for functions satisfying a suitable inequality, which arises, for instance, in parabolic obstacle problems as well as in the study of parabolic $Q$-minima.

The local density theory is developed by Hohenberg, Kohn and Sham is extended to the spin polarized case. A spin dependent one- electron potential pertinent to ground state properties is obtained from calculations of the total energy per electron made with a `bubble' (or random phase) type of dielectric function. The potential is found to be well represented by an analytic expression corresponding

Different system identification methods have been applied to determine ship steering dynamics from full-scale experiments. The techniques used include output error, maximum likelihood and more general prediction error methods. Different model structures have been investigated ranging from input-output models in difference equation form to the equations of motion in their natural form. Effects of d

A 5.4GHz multiple-pass ring voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based phase-locked loop (PLL) is described. For the sake of active devices’ sensitivity to process and temperature regarding ring oscillators, an effective automatic frequency calibration scheme is proposed. A new process-independent differential to single (DTOS) is used to adjust control voltage range and loop gain. The chip is imple
