This paper proposes a novel quadrature VCO(QVCO) based on direct back-gate second harmonic coupling. The QVCO directly couples the current sources of the conventional LC VCOs through the back-gate instead of front-gate to generate quadrature signals. By the second harmonic injection locking, the two LC VCOs can generate quadrature signals without using on-chip transformer, or stability problem that is inherent in the direct front-gate second harmonic coupling. The proposed QVCO is implemented in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology operating at 2 GHz with 5.0 mA core current consumption from 1.8 V power supply. The measured phase noise of the proposed QVCO is - 63 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, -95 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset, and -116 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from the 2 GHz output frequency, respectively. The calculated figure of merit(FOM) is about -174 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset. The measured image band rejection is 46 dB which corresponds to the phase error of $0.6^{\circ}$.

The requirements of a successful design for single phase induction motors with a high efficiency have, in recent years, led to the use of non-quadrature stator windings motors in which a high starting torque is a prime requisite. The capacitor motor is one of above machines in which various possible forms of asymmetry can be occur. These forms of asymmetry in the stator phase windings, encountered in machine designs, are 1) an asymmetrical disposition in space of their magnetic axes, 2) a difference in their effective number of turns, 3) a difference in the distribution of their coil groups per pole and 4) amounts of capacitance of an auxiary winding. In order to apply the effective performance prediction of these form to motors, mading of lower quality-domestic magnetic materials, the analysis and the experimental investigations of its sample motors are described in this paper. The utility of such a motor is demonstrated and it is shown that the effects- a good efficiency, good power factor and high starting torque-of the motor mechanism with non-quadrature stator phase windings can development disadvantages by using the lower quality-domestis magnetic materials.

A harmonic quadrature demodulation method to extract the second harmonic component from focused ultrasound signals after a single transmit-receive event is proposed. In the proposed method, the focused ultrasound signal is converted into baseband inphase and quadrature components by multiplying with sine and cosine signals both having twice the center frequency of the transmitted signal and filtering the two modulated signals. The quadrature component is then passed through a Hilbert filter to be added to the inphase component, which leaves only the envelope of the second harmonic component. A novel phase estimation technique is employed in the proposed method to avoid the phase mismatch between the focused signal and the two modulating signals. The proposed method is verified through both theoretical analysis and computer simulations. It is shown that compared to the pulse inversion scheme the proposed method provides almost the same results for stationary targets and significantly improved harmonic to fundamental ratio for moving targets.

The error rate performance of circularly distributed antenna system is studied over Nakagami-m fading channels, where a dual-channel receiver is employed for the quadrature phase shift keying signals detection. To mitigate the Co-Channel Interference (CCI) caused by the adjacent cells and to save the transmit power, this work presents remote antenna unit selection transmission based on the best channel quality and the maximized path-loss, respectively. The commonly used Gaussian and Q-function approximation method in which the CCI and the noise are assumed to be Gaussian distributed fails to depict the precise system performance according to the central limit theory. To this end, this work treats the CCI as a random variable with random variance. Since the in-phase and the quadrature components of the CCI are correlated over Nakagami-m fading channels, the dependency between the in-phase and the quadrature components is also considered for the error rate analysis. For the special case of Rayleigh fading in which the dependency between the in-phase and the quadrature components can be ignored, the closed-form error rate expressions are derived. Numerical results validate the accuracy of the theoretical analysis, and a comparison among different transmission schemes is also performed.

In an optical interferometer that uses sinusoidal modulation and quadrature detection, the amplitude and offset of the interference signal vary with time, even without considering system noise. As a result, the circular Lissajous figure becomes elliptical, with wide lines. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method for compensating quadrature detection error, based on digital signal processing to deal with scaling and fitting. In scaling, fluctuations in the amplitudes of in-phase and quadrature signals are compensated, and the scaled signals are fitted to a Lissajous unit circle. To do so, we scale the average fluctuation, remove the offset, and fit the ellipse to a unit circle. Our measurements of a target moving with uniform velocity show that we reduce quadrature detection error from 5 to 2 nanometers.

This paper deals with an estimation problem of the gain and phase imbalances between the in-phase and quadrature components in the quadrature receivers which are widely used in wireless communications. It is shown that the estimates derived from the suggested auto-calibration algorithm is asymptotically minimum-variance unbiased as a function of the sampling time. In order to show this characteristic, the probability density functions of the estimates for the gain and phase imbalances are derived first. Then the mean and variance functions are investigated analytically or numerically based on the density functions.

A new one-channel phased-array quadrature RF coil is developed for spine MR imaging. Quadrature RF coils for MRI have been used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by$"\squt{2}"$ using two orthogonal RF coils in combination. More recently, the phased-array RF coil has been proposed for more improvement of SNR by using an array of reduced-size RF coil elements. Two schemes proposed for the new phased-array quadrature RF coil are:(1) Proper overlapping of two quadrature RF coils thus removing the mutual inductance and (2) Attaching preamplifiers right after the coil section and combining the signal with proper phase delays. The coil has been implemented for receive-only mode, and tested by phantom and volunteer imaging. The experimental results show the utility of the proposed RF coil.d RF coil.

Digital quadrature demodulator is needed for the coherent demodulation in the digital communication systems such as Binary Phase-Shift-Keying, Quadrature Phase-Shift-Keying, and Quadrature Anmplitude Modulation. Conventaionally, the DDFS (Direct Digital Frequency Synthsizer) is used for generating the carrier signal and seperate multi-pliers are used for mixing. And the DDFS is implemented using the ROM (Read Only Memory), which can be a bottle-neck neck when the fast-speed and small-area implementation is required. A new architecture is developed, which employs the circular rotation mode of the CORDIC algorithm for signal mixing as well as carrier generation. To optimize the hardware design parameters, the finiteword-length effects of the proposed implementation arachitecture are analyzed in comparison with a conventional ROM-based architecture. The hardware costs are also estimated, which showed that the proposed architecture occupies only a third of the area of the conventional ROM-based architecture for the same performance. A full-custom VLSI is developed using the proposed architecture.

When quadrature error exists, the shape of the M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) signal constellation becomes skewed-elliptic. Each MPSK symbol takes on a different symbol error probability (SEP) value. The analytical results presented thus far have been derived from studies which examined the SEP problem assuming that the SEP of each MPSK symbol is equally likely; therefore, those results should not be treated as offering a complete solution. In this letter, we present a new and more complete solution to the SEP problem of MPSK by relaxing the above assumption and finding the expressions for the average as well as individual SEP in the presence of quadrature error.

In this paper, we report phase noise effects on SER(Symbol Error Rate) of MQAM(M-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), DPSK(Differential Phase Shift Keying), OFDM(Orthogonal frequency Division Multiplex)-MQAM and OFDM-DPSK. SER of each modulation method has been quantified at the various offset frequencies of the local oscillator and compared with phase noise effects with the ideal cases, which have no phase noise, through the MATLAB simulation. And the ratio of modulation bandwidths to the SERs at the various frequency offsets for the above modulation methods have been analyzed for the system requirement of minimum phase noise characteristics.
