We present a method for generating cascaded forward Brillouin scattering (CFBS) on the basis of a counter-propagated pump-probe technique with backward stimulated Brillouin scattering used as its seed. The CFBS, induced by forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (FSBS), is generated via the energy transfer from the probe light to other acoustic resonance frequencies. The CFBS spectrum generated in a 390-m-long highly nonlinear fiber exhibits a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the center frequencies of its acoustic resonance peaks agree with theoretical values. In addition, the SNR dependence on pump/probe powers and the CFBS frequency shift dependence on temperature are investigated.

We present a wavelength-tunable ultrafast optical switch using a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM), which has a low walk-off characteristic between the signal pulse and the control pulse thanks to the use of a dispersion-flattened highly nonlinear fiber. A 400-fs switching speed and an extinction ratio of >32 dB were obtained from 1528 to 1565 nm. The NOLM was applied to the 320 to 40 Gbaud demultiplexing of DQPSK Nyquist pulse signals, and error-free operation was achieved over the entire C-band.

This letter aims to demonstrate the concept of wireless power coloring (WPC), i.e., frequency division multiplexing of wireless power transfer (WPT). Currently, to obtain significant received power in WPT, the power is generated from a single transmission source. Herein, we propose a method of transmitting wireless power through more than one (N ≧ 2) multiplexed coloring source. To achieve this, we use power transmitting sources with different resonance frequencies in magnetic resonance-type WPT to selectively send power to a designated receiver.

This letter presents the current-gain and high-frequency characteristics of double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) consisting of an n-InGaP emitter, a p-GaAsSb/p-InGaAsSb base, and an n-InP collector. The impact of the thickness of the first base metal (Pt) on the base contact resistivity is investigated in a p-GaAsSb/p-InGaAsSb test structure for the purpose of improving fmax. A low base contact resistivity (4.8 Ωµm2) is obtained when the Pt layer is thinner than the p-GaAsSb layer. A fabricated InGaP/GaAsSb/InGaAsSb DHBT with a 0.25-µm emitter exhibits a high current gain of 33 even though the base sheet resistance is as low as 1025 Ω/sq. The DHBT also exhibits an fmax of 703 GHz and a breakdown voltage of 5.4 V. These results demonstrate that this DHBT technology is useful for fabricating high-speed integrated circuits with high output voltages.

Quadratic permutation polynomial (QPP) interleaver is more suitable for parallel turbo decoding due to it is contention-free. However, the parallel address generation of QPP is area-consuming when the parallel degree <I>P</I> is large, and the data shuffle between memory banks and processing elements (PE) introduces large interconnect cost. This paper first evaluates the area and power cost of three typical Parallel Address Generators (PAG) and four typical Data Shuffle Networks (DSN) from academic and industrial area, and then proposes a novel general QPP interleaver with a highly area-efficient PAG and an associated DSN. Our QPP interleaver can support general parallel turbo decoder design. Experimental results show that, for <I>P</I>=64, the area and power cost of the PAG are on average 9.2% and 9.8% of that of the evaluated respectively. Meanwhile, the DSN can also achieve a slight hardware cost reduction, compared with the evaluated works.

The traditional post-TnL vertex cache (abbr. 'post-VC') in embedded GPUs (EGPUs) with only one vertex or unified shader does not fit to multi-shader EGPUs for two reasons. As multiple shaders run in parallelism, (a) the out-of-order vertex processing may raise the post-VC inconsistency that leads to cache the error data, and (b) it is very hard to detect in time which vertices are saved in the post-VC in the stage of vertex fetching, resulting in the low performance. In this paper, we propose a modified post-VC including a decoupling cache and a vertex batch in-order commit controller, which can guarantee that the data SRAM and index tag can be updated in-order according to the same replacement policy in the different stages of vertex processing. The function of the proposed post-VC is verified on a FPGA-based platform. Experimental results show that it increases the performance by an average of 172% and 80.6% compared to the EGPU without/with the traditional post-VC respectively at a little expense.

Multiple clock domains mobile SoCs typically adopt dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) for flexible power/energy management. However, adoption of system-level cache under DVFS-enabled CPU may incur abnormal cache hierarchy (i.e., a delay reversal between the high-level and low-level caches). It may lead to performance- and energy-inefficiency due to slower data delivery and meaningless accesses to intermediate levels of caches. To resolve this problem, we propose a DVFS-aware cache bypassing technique. Our technique profiles latencies of the various levels of the caches. Based on the profiled information, our technique adaptively bypasses intermediate levels of caches in the case of abnormal cache hierarchy and applies power-gating to that cache memory for better energy efficiency. According to our evaluation, our technique reduces L2 and system-level cache energy consumption by up to 14.5% while improving performance by up to 0.13% compared to the baseline.

A new CMOS bandgap voltage reference (BGR) is proposed and simulated using Silterra 0.13 µm CMOS technology. The proposed BGR utilizes 3 curvature-corrected current generators that compensate for the output voltage variation in an extended temperature range. The proposed circuit generates an output voltage of 1.181 V with a variation of 380 µV from −50 °C to 150 °C.

In the current paper, an improvement of piecewise curvature-corrected CMOS bandgap reference (BGR) circuit is proposed. The circuit utilizes piecewise nonlinear curvature-corrected current (PNCCC) in a conventional BGR with a current control circuit, which compensates for the voltage reference at a higher temperature range. The current control circuit (CCC) is used to reduce the total current at low temperature when the PNCCC generator is inactive. The proposed circuit is realized in CMOS 0.13µm and has been verified to be able to save power consumption by 18.6% compared with a circuit without the current control circuit.

Silicon or glass was a common material for SU8 coating. However, these materials are hard and brittle, make it difficult for drilling and dicing. This paper reported the effect of grayscale and resolution based on the various length of time for Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether Acetate (PGMEA) developing towards SU8-10 coated on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). The grayscale results show that the 0% (solid black) produced the highest percentage on the square structure formed to the SU8-10 film coated on PMMA and the highest resolution had been produced for the 30 minutes of PGMEA developing.

The current paper presents an improved bandgap voltage reference (BGR) that utilizes curvature-corrected current generators which compensate for the voltage reference at lower and higher temperature range. The voltage reference is operated with a supply voltage of 2.5V to achieve an output reference of 1.1835V. The temperature coefficient achieved from the circuit is 1.342ppm/°C, resulting from temperature changes between -50°C to 125°C, sixfold improvement from first-order BGR. The proposed circuit is simulated using Silterra 0.13µm CMOS technology.

N-continuous OFDM is a modulation technique that has a lower sidelobe than the original OFDM as a result of the continuous connection with its higher-order derivatives between the OFDM symbols. However, N-continuous OFDM has a high symbol error rate. In the present paper, we improve N-continuous OFDM without increasing the symbol error rate by using a selected mapping technique.

In this paper, we propose the parallel architecture for high speed calculations of SHA-1, a widely used cryptographic hash function. Parallel SHA-1 consists of a number of base modules which process the message digest in parallel manner. The base module uses state of art SHA-1 acceleration techniques: loop unfolding, pre-processing, and pipelining. We achieved the performance improvement of 5.8% over the pipeline architecture that is known to have nearly achieved the theoretical performance limit. We implemented our system on the Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA and verified the operations by interfacing it with MicroBlaze soft processor core.

Cryptosystems are widely used for achieving data confidentiality and authenticated access control. Recent cryptographic algorithms such as AES or RSA are computationally safe in the sense that it is practically impossible to reveal key information from a pair of plain and cipher texts if a key of sufficient length is used. A malicious attacker aims to reveal a key by exploiting implementation flaws in cryptographic modules. Even if there are no flaws in the software, the attacker will try to extract a secret key stored in the security hardware. The side-channel attacks (SCAs) are low cost and powerful against cryptographic hardware. The attacker exploits side-channel information such as power or electro-magnetic emission traces on the cryptographic circuits. In this paper, we will introduce the principle of SCAs and the countermeasures against SCAs.

Recently, the authors introduced two new second-order single-resistance-controlled oscillators (SRCO) employing four/three unity-gain cells (unity-gain voltage followers and unity-gain current followers). In this communication, a novel family of SRCOs has been presented which employ a reduced number of (only two) unity-gain cells as active elements. The workability of the new circuits has been confirmed by the SPICE simulations of their CMOS-implementable versions.

Microwave power transmission (MPT) has had a long history before the more recent movement toward wireless power transmission (WPT). MPT can be applied not only to beam-type point-to-point WPT but also to an energy harvesting system fed from distributed or broadcasting radio waves. The key technology is the use of a rectenna, or rectifying antenna, to convert a microwave signal to a DC signal with high efficiency. In this paper, various rectennas suitable for MPT are discussed, including various rectifying circuits, frequency rectennas, and power rectennas.

Switching mode CMOS frequency multipliers are studied in sub-Terahertz regime. Analysis on the multiplier architectures and optimal gate bias at CMOS switch are investigated to maximize output power at designated harmonics. Utilizing a differential pair, a 195 GHz tripler having a hair-pin filter is designed to maximize 3rd harmonics with −14.8 dB of conversion gain (CG) from Pin = +13 dBm of the balanced input, while the 260 GHz quadrupler utilizes quadruple-push pairs which achieves CG = −16 dB from two +13 dBm of the balanced I/Q driving signals in a 65 nm digital CMOS process.

Utilizing memristor to obtain multi-level memory in nano-crossbar is a promising approach to enhance the memory density. In this paper, we proposed a solution for multi-level programming of memristor in nanocrossbar, which can be implemented on nanocrossbar without the need for extra selective devices. Meanwhile, using a general device model, this solution is demonstrated to be adaptive to a wide range of memristors that have been experimentally fabricated through HSPICE simulation.

A uniplanar, compact electromagnetic band-gap (UC-EBG) structure based on modified semi-Spidron fractal and meander-line strip (SFM-EBG) patterning is proposed. The semi-Spidron fractal geometry significantly increases the equivalent capacitance, whereas meander-line strips increase the equivalent inductance; as a result, the proposed design can be used to successfully miniaturize an EBG structure having a wide operating bandwidth. The measurement results show that a center frequency reduction of 32.14% as compared to that achieved by a conventional UC-EBG structure can be achieved by utilizing this proposed structure. The SFM-EBG structure has a measured operating bandwidth of 39.7% (3.33-4.98GHz), which is wider than that of a conventional UC-EBG (31%).
