Error correction for short-range optical interconnect using COTS transceivers
摘要： Nowadays, quantities of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) optical transceivers are widely equipped in both exiting and abuilding data centers. As data centers are becoming larger and containing more servers, the method to ensure longer and steady transmission with COTS optical transceivers becomes one of the key issues. Meanwhile, variations in the manufacturing of COTS optical transceivers bring in fluctuation of packet error rate (PER) in communication. In this paper, we present an application layer adaptive forward error correction (AL-AFEC) coding scheme for COTS optical transceivers in optical interconnect to solve the problems mentioned above and test its performance in a 10 Gbps Ethernet (10GbE) link using 10GBASE-SR SFP+ modules. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme enables longer transmission distance and the instability introduced by manufactural variations is well settled. Since our scheme requires no extra hardware on optical transceivers, it is a considerable low-cost alternative to improve system reliability and achieve longer transmission distance for COTS optical transceivers.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC) - Tainan, Taiwan (2018.11.5-2018.11.7)] 2018 IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC) - A CMOS 76-81 GHz 2TX 3RX FMCW Radar Transceiver Based on Mixed-Mode PLL Chirp Generator
摘要： A fully integrated 76-81 GHz frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar transceiver (TRX) in 65nm CMOS is presented. Two transmitters (TXs) and three receivers (RXs) are integrated for MIMO processing. A 38.5 GHz mixed-mode PLL with reconfigurable loop bandwidth and frequency doubling scheme are employed to generate the reconfigurable FMCW chirp waveforms. Passive voltage-mode down-conversion is utilized to improve the RX linearity against TX leakage. A bottom-switching PA is proposed to realize the Bi-Phase modulation, and the magnetically-coupled resonator technique is used to effectively expand the link bandwidth. Measurement results show that the FMCW TRX could generate reconfigurable chirps with the bandwidth from 250 MHz to 4 GHz and the period from 600 us to 10 ms. The root-mean-square (RMS) frequency error is less than 251 kHz. The TX maximum output power is 13.4 dBm and is adjustable within 3 dB by reconfiguring its LDO output voltage. The RX achieves 15.3 dB noise figure and -8.5 dBm RF input-referred PldB. Real-time experiments are carried out using the proposed TRX chip, in which the measured average distance error is 10 cm. The overall power consumption is 921mW with 2-TXs and 3-RXs powered on.

[IEEE 2018 International Conference on Radar (RADAR) - Brisbane, Australia (2018.8.27-2018.8.31)] 2018 International Conference on Radar (RADAR) - Improved Tx-to-Rx Isolation of Radar Transceivers Using Integrated Full Duplexer with PLL
摘要： The isolation between transmitter and receiver for the radars is ultimately important since the transmitting radar signals can be penetrated the receiver directly in case a bad isolation is formed. This paper describes the isolation between the transceiver and the design of an integrated full duplexer using the phase locked loop (PLL). Although the antenna impedance varies arbitrarily, the PLL tracks the impedance variation in real time, leading to improvement of isolation between the transmitter and the receiver of radars. The full duplexer reduces the transmitter leakage up to 45 dB using the balance network along with the PLL in measurement.

Joint Optimal Transceiver Placement and Resource Allocation Schemes for Redirected Cooperative Hybrid FSO/mmW 5G Fronthaul Networks
摘要： To meet the requirements of the 5G mobile network, a new innovative approach called centralized radio access network (C-RAN) architecture is introduced. In C-RAN architecture, the fronthaul network must provide high capacity, high availability, and low latency to be able to transmit massive traffic between remote radio heads (RRHs) and baseband processing units. In this paper, two joint transceiver placement and resource allocation schemes are proposed for redirected cooperative hybrid free-space optics (FSO)/millimeter-wave (mmW) fronthaul networks. The schemes aim to obtain the optimal FSO/mmW transceiver placement that optimizes reliability, average transmitted power, average bit error rate (BER), and number of disrupted links of redirected cooperative hybrid FSO/mmW fronthaul networks in various weather conditions. The schemes are formulated as multiobjective and bilevel integer linear programming problems and solved by using an exhaustive search method to obtain optimal solutions. The numerical results reveal that improvements are obtained in the network reliability, average transmitted power, and average BER by implementing the optimal placement, especially at low visibility and/or high rainfall rate conditions.

A Versatile Silicon-Silicon Nitride Photonics Platform for Enhanced Functionalities and Applications
摘要： Silicon photonics is one of the most prominent technology platforms for integrated photonics and can support a wide variety of applications. As we move towards a mature industrial core technology, we present the integration of silicon nitride (SiN) material to extend the capabilities of our silicon photonics platform. Depending on the application being targeted, we have developed several integration strategies for the incorporation of SiN. We present these processes, as well as key components for dedicated applications. In particular, we present the use of SiN for athermal multiplexing in optical transceivers for datacom applications, the nonlinear generation of frequency combs in SiN micro-resonators for ultra-high data rate transmission, spectroscopy or metrology applications and the use of SiN to realize optical phased arrays in the 800–1000 nm wavelength range for Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) applications. These functionalities are demonstrated using a 200 mm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible pilot line, showing the versatility and scalability of the Si-SiN platform.

A D-band Multiplier-based OOK Transceiver with Supplementary Transistor Modeling in 65-nm Bulk CMOS Technology
摘要： A D-band on-off keying (OOK) transceiver chipset is fabricated in a 65-nm bulk CMOS technology as a low-cost and highly-integrative solution to short-distance wireless connectivity. Supplementary transistor modeling is performed for accurate circuit design at mm-wave frequencies. To overcome low transistor fmax and reduce DC power consumption, the transmitter employs a frequency-multiplier-based architecture with no power amplifier. The receiver adopts a non-coherent architecture consisting of a DC-coupled three-stage differential amplifier and an envelope detector. The OOK transmitter exhibits a measured output power of -9.8 dBm and on-off level difference of 13.2 dB at 134.1 GHz. The receiver shows a measured average responsivity of 4.1 kV/W and a noise equivalent power of 211.4 pW/Hz1/2 over all D-band frequencies. The DC power consumption of the transmitter and receiver are 76 mW and 32.5 mW, respectively. The transceiver is tested in both on-chip loopback and air-channel configurations, and demonstrates data transmission up to 10 Gbps and 2 Gbps at a distance of 0.03 m, respectively.

A Compact X-Band Vector Network Analyzer for Microwave Image Sensing
摘要： This work develops a compact and portable X-band vector network analyzer (VNA) for low-cost microwave image sensing applications. Since significant local oscillator (LO) injection pulling and poor LO phase noise performance may reduce the accuracy of measurement, the developed VNA uses the single-conversion technique and the phase noise cancellation technique to suppress the injection pulling effect and the LO phase noise, respectively. A hybrid phase detection algorithm that includes arctangent, arcsine and arccosine functions is proposed to overcome the bottleneck of the distortion of conventional quadrature phase detection in some phase regions. Experimental results demonstrate that the X-band microwave image sensing system that uses the developed VNA, which is highly compact and portable, can effectively yield a contour image of bones in a chicken wing and pork ribs.

摘要： A CMOS pulsewidth modulation (PWM) transceiver circuit that exploits the self-referenced edge detection technique is presented. By comparing the rising edge that is self-delayed by about 0.5 T and the modulated falling edge in one carrier clock cycle, area-ef?cient and high-robustness (against timing ?uctuations) edge detection enabling PWM communication is achieved without requiring elaborate phase-locked loops. Since the proposed self-referenced edge detection circuit has the capability of timing error measurement while changing the length of self-delay element, adaptive data-rate optimization and delay-line calibration are realized. The measured results with a 65-nm CMOS prototype demonstrate a 2-bit PWM communication, high data rate (3.2 Gb/s), and high reliability (BER > 10?12) with small area occupation (540 μm2). For reliability improvement, error check and correction associated with intercycle edge detection is introduced and its effectiveness is veri?ed by 1-bit PWM measurement.

Design and measurement of a 5G mmW mobile backhaul transceiver at 28 GHz
摘要： High throughput and ultra low latency are the main requirements for fifth generation (5G) mobile broadband communications. Densely populated urban environments require utilization of previously underutilized millimeter wave frequency spectrum for higher data rates. The Ka-band, previously used in satellite applications, is of particular interest to terrestrial 5G mobile networks. New radio solutions are required for these frequencies, such as multiple wireless base stations organized in small cells and highly directional antennas to compensate for higher path loss. Wireless backhaul is predicted to be the most cost-effective and versatile solution to connect 5G base stations to the core network. Wireless backhaul enables flexible and easy installation of 5G base stations in ad hoc networks, supporting large crowd gatherings such as concerts and sports events. In this article, we present an architecture of a wireless backhaul transceiver, which operates on the 26.5–29.5-GHz band. The architecture described in this paper was implemented, and the performance of the receiver (Rx) array has been measured. We also present over-the-air antenna array measurement results using the Rx. The measurement results show that unequal Rx channel gains and antenna gains do not have a significant effect on the shape of the main lobe of the radiation pattern. We have measured a coherence gain of 2.7 dB from two Rx channels that is close to the theoretical value of 3.0 dB. We have achieved a conducted Rx EVM of better than 2% using a 100-MHz 16-QAM modulated signal at 26.5 GHz.

摘要： The use of optical transceivers in antenna array system applications requires reliable operation at high temperature. The experimental characterisation of a silicon photonics transceiver operating in a harsh environment with temperatures up to 120°C is presented and discussed. The transceiver was placed inside a climatic chamber and it was fed by an external depolarised light source. The bit error rate was measured, and the impacts on transmission performances were analysed and discussed, including reliability aspects. The authors believe that silicon photonics transceivers with an optimised design and with improvements in the optical connector and fibre adhesive technology are suitable for this kind of applications.
