In the paper electrical and optical properties of a LED lamp of the HUE type are analysed. This lamp has a possibility to remote control the mode of its operation. Properties of this class of lamps given by the producer was characterised and the measuring set-up to measure electrical and optical parameters of the considered lamps are proposed. The obtained results of measurements of the investigated lamps emitting light of different colours are shown and discussed. Attention was paid on parameters characterising influence of the LED lamp on the electroenergy network. Additionally, influence of feeding voltage, the fixed value of illuminance and colour of the emitted light on THD and PF parameters is analysed and discussed.

This paper presents an 86-97 GHz transmitter (TX) using a wideband voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) operating in 21.5-26 GHz range and frequency quadrupler (FQ) fabricated in SiGe BiCMOS technology. The VCO implements a self-buffered common-collector Colpitts topology with binary-weighted varactor ladder for low VCO gain ($K_{VCO}$) and wide tuning range. Use of high-Q passive components and low-noise heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT) results in worst-case phase noise of -92.8 dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from the carrier. The VCO is loaded by a low-loss transformer that splitts the signal between frequency prescaling and multiplying blocks. The prescaler comprise three divide-by-two circuits (DTC) based on D flip-flops (D-FF) providing adequate feedback signal for an external phase-locked loop (PLL). The multiplying section consists of two cascaded Gilbert-cell frequency doublers driving a W-band power amplifier (PA). The TX achieves 0.2dBm output power at 92GHz and more than -2.8dBm in 86-97 GHz range consuming 60mA from 3.3V supply. The chip occupies 0.755 mm2 silicon area.

Time efficient and accurate design verification is a key procedure in an industrial environment. In order to achieve both, a behavioral modeling can be used instead of more complex SPICE model options. This, however, requires a significant model complexity. This paper proposes a PVT and Monte Carlo modeling methodology based on the generation of polynomial equations with Matlab environment. These expressions are then used to describe the model behavior of its outputs and inputs. The use of behavioral model significantly reduces simulation time and still provides relatively high degree of accuracy while considering the variation in temperature, supply voltage and process corner.

The Qucs/QucsStudio and Qucs-S simulators share a common graphical user interface which has slowly evolved into an interactive platform for drawing circuit schematics, controlling simulation and displaying simulation output data and measured device/circuit parameters/properties. This interface acts as a window for accessing circuit simulation software and is in many ways similar to the “White-Boards” that are popular among scientists and engineers for recording ideas when “brainstorming” circuit design or analysis problems. This paper outlines the evolution of the Qucs device modeling and simulation “white-Board” from concept to working media over the fifteen year period that Qucs, QucsStudio and Qucs-S have been under development. The operation of a number of the “White-Board” features are introduced with a compact tunnel diode model and the simulation data obtained from tests using the QucsStudio and Qucs-S software packages.

In many applications it is crucial to design reliable and efficient analog readout circuits for micro-electromechanical (MEMS) capacitive sensors. In this paper, we describe the switched-capacitor, open-loop, capacitive-sensing readout circuit, which was designed and manufactured in 0.18 μm technology. Non-standard application of a fully differential amplifier structure is also presented. The post-layout simulation results are described to show the proper operation of the circuit. They show that with the proper symmetrical design of the differential signal path the output offset voltage can be kept at acceptable level.
