    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Momen, Hadi Ghasemzadeh; Yazgı, Metin; Köprü, Ramazan
    Numerous structural planning of active inductors have been proposed as of not long ago in literature which showing tuning conceivable outcomes, low chip area and offering integration facility, they constitute promising architecture to replace passive inductors in RF circuits. The modified of a conventional active inductor based on Gyrator-C topology consisting of both transconductance stages realized by common-source configuration with multi-regulated cascade stage is presented. The Q factor and value of active inductor is adjusted with bias current and flexible capacitance, respectively. Multi regulated cascade stage is used to boost gain of input impedance and inductor value and decrease series resistance of designed inductor witch caused loss. The circuit is suitable for low voltage operation, high quality factor and low power dissipation. Simulation results are provided for 90 nm TSMC CMOS process with 1 V supply voltage. Self-resonance frequency and power consumption of active inductor is 8.9 GHz and 1.2 mW, respectively.

    An accurate CMOS interface small capacitance variation sensing circuit for capacitive sensor applications
    (Springer Birkhauser, 2017-12) Momen, Hadi Ghasemzadeh; Yazgı, Metin; Köprü, Ramazan; Naderi Saatlo, Ali
    In this paper, an accurate front-end CMOS interface circuit for sensing very small capacitance changes in capacitive sensors is presented. The proposed structure scales capacitance variation to the sensible impedance changing. The scaling factor of the circuit can be easily tuned by adjusting bias points of the transistors. In order to cancel or decrease the parasitic components, the RC feedback and input transistor cascading techniques are employed in the design. To simulate the circuit, HSPICE simulator is utilized to verify the validity of the theoretical formulations in 0.18 mu m technology. According to schematic and post-layout simulation results, input impedance changes linearly versus capacitance variations up to 0.7 GHz, while the sensor capacitance changing is varied between 0 and 200 fF. According to the simulation results, total dc power consumption is obtained as low as 1 mW with 0.9 V power supply.

    Forward-viewing CMUT arrays for medical Imaging
    (IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2004-07) Demirci, Utkan; Ergün, Arif Sanlı; Oralkan, Ömer; Karaman, Mustafa; Khuri-Yakub, Butrus Thomas
    This paper reports the design and testing of forward-viewing annular arrays fabricated using capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) technology. Recent research studies have shown that CMUTs have broad frequency bandwidth and high-transduction efficiency. One- and two-dimensional CMUT arrays of various sizes already have been fabricated, and their viability for medical imaging applications has been demonstrated. We fabricated 64-element, forward-viewing annular arrays using the standard CMUT fabrication process and carried out experiments to measure the operating frequency, bandwidth, and transmit/receive efficiency of the array elements. The annular array elements, designed for imaging applications in the 20 MHz range, had a resonance frequency of 13.5 MHz in air. The immersion pulse-echo data collected from a plane reflector showed that the devices operate in the 5-26 MHz range with a fractional bandwidth of 135%. The output pressure at the surface of the transducer was measured to be 24 kPa/V. These values translate into a dynamic range of 131.5 dB for I-V excitation in 1-Hz bandwidth with a commercial low noise receiving circuitry. The designed, forward-viewing annular CMUT array is suitable for mounting on the front surface of a cylindrical catheter probe and can provide Doppler information for measurement of blood flow and guiding information for navigation through blood vessels in intravascular ultrasound imaging.

    Integration of 2D CMUT arrays with front-end electronics for volumetric ultrasound imaging
    (IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008-02) Wygant, Ira O.; Zhuang, Xuefeng; Yeh, David T.; Oralkan, Ömer; Ergün, Arif Sanlı; Karaman, Mustafa; Khuri-Yakub, Butrus Thomas
    For three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound imaging, connecting elements of a two-dimensional (2D) transducer array to the imaging system's front-end electronics is a challenge because of the large number of array elements and the small element size. To compactly connect the transducer array with electronics, we flip-chip bond a 2D 16 x 16-element capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) array to a custom-designed integrated circuit (IC). Through-wafer interconnects are used to connect the CMUT elements on the top side of the array with flip-chip bond pads on the back side. The IC provides a 25-V pulser and a transimpedance preamplifier to each element of the array. For each of three characterized devices, the element yield is excellent (99 to 100% of the elements are functional). Center frequencies range from 2.6 MHz to 5.1 MHz. For pulse-echo operation, the average -6-dB fractional bandwidth is as high as 125%. Transmit pressures normalized to the face of the transducer are as high as 339 kPa and input-referred receiver noise is typically 1.2 to 2.1 mPa/root Hz. The flip-chip bonded devices were used to acquire 3D synthetic aperture images of a wire-target phantom. Combining the transducer array and IC, as shown in this paper, allows for better utilization of large arrays, improves receive sensitivity, and may lead to new imaging techniques that depend on transducer arrays that are closely coupled to IC electronics.

    A realistic quantum capacitance model for quantum Hall edge state based Fabry-Pérot interferometers
    (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017-01-25) Kılıçoğlu, Özge; Eksi, Deniz; Sıddıki, Afif
    In this work, the classical and the quantum capacitances are calculated for a Fabry-Pérot interferometer operating in the integer quantized Hall regime. We first consider a rotationally symmetric electrostatic confinement potential and obtain the widths and the spatial distribution of the insulating (incompressible) circular strips using a charge density profile stemming from self-consistent calculations. Modelling the electrical circuit of capacitors composed of metallic gates and incompressible/compressible strips, we investigate the conditions to observe Aharonov-Bohm (quantum mechanical phase dependent) and Coulomb blockade (capacitive coupling dependent) effects reflected in conductance oscillations. In a last step, we solve the Schrödinger and the Poisson equations self-consistently in a numerical manner taking into account realistic experimental geometries. We find that, describing the conductance oscillations either by Aharanov-Bohm or Coulomb blockade strongly depends on sample properties also other than size, therefore, determining the origin of these oscillations requires further experimental and theoretical investigation.

    Dual electrode capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer array for 1-D intracardiac echocardiography (ICE)
    (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2007) Güldiken, Rasim Oytun; Zahorian, Jaime S.; Karaman, Mustafa; Değertekin, Fahrettin Levent
    We designed and fabricated a 64 element 1-D linear dual electrode Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (CMUT) array operating at 9.5 MHz for Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE). The dual electrode CMUT structure increases the overall sensitivity by 12.6dB (6.2dB in receive sensitivity; 6.4dB in output pressure) when compared to optimized single electrode CMUT. We report peak output pressure of 2.3MPa on the CMUT surface when 170V AC and 180V DC is applied. This significant performance increase makes the CMUT more competitive with their piezoelectric counterparts.

    Single active device metamutator; Its application to impedance simulation and in particular to FDNR
    (IEEE, 2017) Minayi, Elham; Göknar, İzzet Cem
    he proposed Metamutator configuration employs only one Fully Differential Current Conveyor (FDCCII) which has 9 terminals including ground. By properly interconnecting these terminals a 4-port Metamutator is obtained without use of any other external element. It maintains the following advantages: (i) use of only one active element: less is the number of active devices less is the amount of disparity, (ii) possibility of realizing Memristors, Capacitors, Inductors, Frequency Dependent Negative Resistor (FDNR), which can be used to make integrated circuit active filters, (iii) no need to impose component choice constraints. SPICE simulations' results using TSMC 0.18 mu m CMOS process parameters and +/- 0.9V supply voltages validate the theoretical predictions.

    A practical control method for single-phase input PMSM drives with small DC-Link capacitor
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-03) Deshmukh, Akshay Vijayrao; Afshar, Mojtaba; Jena, Sritam; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Yu, Zhen; Akın, Bilal
    The primary function of the large electrolytic dc-link capacitor in the single-phase input motor drives is to enhance dc voltage stability by minimizing voltage fluctuations. Because they are both bulky and unreliable components, reducing the size of dc-link capacitors or substituting them with significantly low capacitance value film capacitors offers numerous advantages. This article introduces a method that allows using a voltage source inverter with a small film dc-link capacitor, which results in equivalent performance to high-value capacitor drives. In this approach, the effect of dc-link voltage ripple is designed as a periodic disturbance in the current loop. A proportional-integral-resonant (PIR) control strategy is implemented to eliminate the designed double-line frequency disturbance observed in motor currents, thereby ensuring a smooth motor torque response. This solution meets crucial criteria for home appliances, specifically addressing input current harmonic requirements through power factor correction while effectively reducing the adverse effects of substantial dc-link ripple on motor torque, even when employing a film capacitor (10–50 µF range). The proposed framework is experimentally tested on permanent magnet synchronous motors with fan-load and dynamometers. Experimental results demonstrate, with PIR, an 80% reduction in current and torque ripple occurring due to the use of a low-value dc-link film capacitor. This also achieves performance within ±5% of the results obtained with a drive equipped with a 1200 µF dc capacitor. In addition, the line-side power factor exceeds 0.98 for loads exceeding 8% of the rated power.
