Summary: This paper proposes a low-power wireless transmitter using multi-phase injection locking and frequency multiplication techniques. It achieves multichannel support and FSK modulation through a low-frequency phase-rotation-based frequency synthesizer. The far-out phase noise is filtered through a proposed N-path filter and two-stage injection-locked ring oscillators (ILROs). Phase modulation is achieved by changing the offset frequency, and a high energy efficiency power amplifier is used for frequency multiplication.

Summary: In-service monitoring and adaptive digital compensation of analog imperfections in optical transponders are essential for next-generation optical coherent transmission systems. The IQ imbalance, as a notable example of analog impairments in optical IQ modulators, can be monitored using the single-pixel optical modulation analyzer (SP-OMA) technique. This work extends the concept of SP-OMA to dual-polarization IQ modulators and proposes a novel phase retrieval algorithm for identifying frequency-dependent IQ imbalances on both polarization channels.

Summary: In this letter, a novel constrained coding (CC) scheme and a deep learning (DL) aided threshold detection scheme are proposed to mitigate the sneak path (SP) problem in ReRAM arrays. The CC scheme reduces SPI and differentiates memory arrays into SPI-free and SPI-affected categories. For SPI-affected arrays, a DL detector is trained offline, and a DL-based threshold detector is proposed to avoid additional power consumption and latency. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes achieve better error rate performance than prior art detection schemes without prior knowledge of the channel.

Summary: This letter presents a nanowatt-level detector-first wakeup receiver using a microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-based matching network. The receiver utilizes an aluminum nitride (AlN) piezoelectric MEMS resonator to implement a high-impedance matching network, thus improving the receiver's sensitivity. The high-Q MEMS-based matching network also significantly enhances the receiver's out-of-band interference rejection. A gate-biased envelope detector is used for RF-to-baseband direct conversion. The wakeup receiver is implemented in a 180-nm CMOS process and achieves a sensitivity of -57 dBm with a 1-kbps on-off keying (OOK) data rate at 789 MHz using only 16-nW power consumption.

Summary: In this letter, the researchers utilized KrF excimer laser annealing to achieve high-performance ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO). The laser effectively annealed the device layer with a high heating/cooling rate without overheating the under-layer deep structures. Through numerical simulation and experiment, they carefully studied the impact of laser fluence, number of pulses, and pulse duration on the ferroelectricity of HZO. By using an ultra-low laser fluence of around 84 mJ/cm(2) and 20 pulses, they achieved a remnant polarization 2p(r) of 22 mu C/cm(2), a coercive field of approximately 1 MV/cm, and a cycling endurance >10(8) in an 8 nm ferroelectric HZO thin film. The large beam size of the KrF excimer laser enables practical and efficient wafer-scale ferroelectric HZO annealing within a short period of time.

Summary: With the development of Lab on a chip technology, fluid management using dispersed droplets has become an important approach. Electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) is one method for droplet actuation, but it requires prior definition of droplet positions. Optoelectrowetting (OEW) goes further by allowing changes in electrical parameters through impinging light spots, without the need for predefined droplet positions. This study re-evaluates the key parameters of OEW and explores their effects on droplet actuation using numerical optimization methods.
