Talängslan, oron att tala inför publik, är ett stort problem för många elever i svenska gymnasieskolan. Inte minst för att läroplanerna har muntlig redovisning som centralt innehåll, men även för att eleverna befinner sig i ett känsligt skede då de är rädda för att bedömas negativt av sina kamrater. Trots det utbildas inte lärarstudenter i hur de ska hantera talängslan och inte heller har talängsl

A topology with global frequency translational feedback is investigated and a harmonic rejection mixer is implemented. To compensate for parasitics at the RF input, a variable phase shift is used in the global feedback to improve input matching and prevent loss of noise performance. Combinati
