used in wearable electronic devices.
By the end of his talk, Takamiya had
presented an insole pedometer with
piezoelectric energy harvesters, a fever
alarm armband with solar cells, and a
wet sensor sheet in a diaper with wireless powering.
Following the lecture, University of
Tsinghua students invited Takamiya
to a Meet the Master event, where students had the opportunity to speak to
Takamiya about his research.

An RF Summer in Dublin

T

The Microelectronic Circuits Center
Ireland (MCCI) at University College
Dublin hosted two radio-frequency
(RF) summer seminars. Prof. Andrea
Bevilacqua, University of Padova,
Italy, presented "Low-Phase Noise Bipolar VCOs for Integrated 5G FrontEnds" on 17 July 2019, while Prof.
Eric Klumperink, University of Twente,
The Netherlands, delivered "Highly
Linear Mixer-First Receivers and NPath Filters" on 12 August 2019.
The lectures attracted over 40
academic staff and doctoral students
from University College Dublin, Ireland's premier engineering school,
as well as design engineers from the
Dublin design centers of Adesto and
Endura Technologies.
Bevilacqua outlined the design
challenges associated with achieving
minimum phase noise for a given set of
technology parameters and described

effective techniques to maximize performance. He presented state-of-the-art
examples of voltage-controlled oscillators operating in the K-band that are
suitable for 5G applications. Klumperink's talk reviewed the motivation for
and recent developments in the field of
passive-switch resistor-capacitor circuits and focused on ways to improve

linearity and blocker tolerance of mixerfirst receivers.
The two events were cosponsored by
MCCI (http://www.mcci.ie) and University College Dublin (http://www.ucd.ie).
