Research in monolithic, signal-processing circuits

Research results in monolithic signal processing circuits are described. New topologies were devised for low-noise monolithic voltage-controlled oscillators leading to measured performance eighty times better than previously reported. A new theory describing start-up and steady state in monolithic crystal oscillators was devised and used to realize a one-pin crystal oscillator. A new all-MOS analog multiplier was synthesized, fabricated, and measured to have performance comparable to more mature bipolar versions, while consuming much less silicon area. (Author)
