Radiofrequency MEMS + CMOS. Matured Technology Ready for the Peak Hour Modern electronics need reconfigurable RF front ends that can share various protocols. These modules must have small size, low losses, high tuning range and low power consumption. These requirements can be met with reconfigurable MEMS controlled by CMOS chips. Present RF MEMS/CMOS chips that can replace FETs and HEMTs in RF systems are reviewed.

Direct Digital Modulation: Principles and Solutions Digital processing is increasingly used in blocks that previously could be realized only by analog technology. If before now digital signals were generated on IF recently arouses interest in the idea of direct digital modulation. What are the achievements in this advanced technology?

Scaling came to the end of the road? Economics of scaling Today there is a big cause to study 28nm process versions that provide lower power consumption, higher yield and hence lower production costs then previous generation processes. From this it emerges that it is necessary to analyze various 28-nm technological processes value indicators to reach a right decision considering the next generation 20-nm technology.

Digital Verification Methods for Simulating mixed-signal SoCs in Synopsys VCS and CustomSim New generation SoCs contain more and more analog blocks. Analog blocks are also needed to work with several power supply, clock generation, DAC and ADC domains. To develop such SoCs a medium that combines analog and digital verification methods is necessary. Such capabilities provides mixed simulation technology Synopsys AMS.

Compact SAW RFID Tabs. Functionality Expansion A new RFID tab construction with an interdigital unidirectional coupler for decreasing tab’s dimensions was proposed and investigated. The coupler specific feature is the capability to shift surface acoustic waves from one acoustic channel to another one but in the opposite direction. It was experimentally shown that the couple’s attenuation was less then 1dB
