To improve the quality of waveforms and achieve a high input power factor (IPF) for matrix rectifier, a novel quasi sliding mode control (SMC) with adaptive compensation is proposed in this letter. Applying quasi-SMC can effective obviate the disturbances of time delay and spatial lag, and SMC based on continuous function is better than discontinuous function to eliminate the chattering. Furthermore, compared with conventional compensation, an adaptive quasi-SMC compensation without any accurate detection for internal parameters is easier to be implementated, which has shown a superior advance. Theoretical analysis and experiments are carried out to validate the correctness of the novel control scheme.

A wideband CMOS common-gate low-noise amplifier (LNA) with high linearity is proposed. The linearity is improved by dual cross-coupled feedback technique. A passive cross-coupled feedback removes the second-order harmonic feedback effect to the input-referred third-order intercept point (IIP3), which is known as one of the limitations for linearity enhancement using feedback. An active cross-coupled feedback, constituted by a voltage combiner and a feedback capacitor is employed to enhance loop gain, and acquire further linearity improvement. An enhanced LC-match input network and forward isolation of active cross-coupled feedback enable the proposed LNA with wideband input matching and flat gain performance. Fabricated in a 0.13 µm RF CMOS process, the LNA achieves a flat voltage gain of 13 dB, an NF of 2.6∼3.8 dB, and an IIP3 of 3.6∼4.9 dBm over a 3 dB bandwidth of 0.1∼1.3 GHz. It consumes only 3.2 mA from a 1.2 V supply and occupies an area of 480×418 um2. In contrast to those of reported wideband LNAs, the proposed LNA has the merit of low power consumption and high linearity.
