His innovative work has led to the creation of a unique patent that enhances the performance of VCOs.
Latest Patents
Ahmad Ahdab holds a patent for an "ICO based linear gain VCO with non-linear V/I converter." This invention features a voltage-controlled oscillator that includes a ring of inverters made up of an odd number of serially connected CMOS inverter stages. The design connects these stages between two oppositely poled power leads. Additionally, it incorporates a MOSFET with a source-drain circuit linked to one of the power leads and a first power rail, while the other power lead connects to a second power rail. The apparatus operates the MOSFET in saturation and applies a control voltage to its gate, allowing the MOSFET to function as a nonlinear current conduction device. This innovation effectively linearizes the voltage-frequency characteristic of the combined MOSFET and ring oscillator.
