An Energy-Efficient Antenna Impedance Detection Using Electrical Balance for Single-Step On-Chip Tunable Matching in
Abstract:
A low-power impedance detection method using a hybrid transformer and its analysis are presented. A balun is reused for the hybrid transformer to achieve area-efficiency. The complex impedance detection enables faster optimization on a tunable matching network and its calibration technique increases the detection accuracy. The proposed impedance detection method fabricated in a 40-nm CMOS process consumes only 0.83 mW and demonstrates the accuracy of less than 18° and 0.1 on the Γ detection up to of 0.5 in ISM2.4 GHz band. After single-step matching network tuning, PA power and RX noise figure are improved by up to 1.2 dB and 1.3 dB, respectively.

Rate-Determining Steps
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...
