# Davis Advanced RF Technologies Lab

### Welcome to the Davis Advanced RF Technologies (DART) lab

We are a group of researchers with a keen interest in many exciting areas of high frequency electronics. Our research interests include:

• Reconfigurable high frequency devices and components;
• High frequency integrated circuits;
• High frequency communication and radar systems and their application in biomedical, societal, and environmental applications.

Critical to our scientific research efforts is a pursuit of fundamental understanding of the engineering principles of high frequency electronics. A major mission of our work is to formulate and disseminate such understanding through university education as well as community outreach.

Before we reveal more issues with Vehovec’s and Spence’s design approaches, let’s talk a little bit about how the last figure of the last post was generated, i.e. how we simulated the oscillator output power given a complex voltage gain $A$.

Using the following figure as a starting point, we note that in equilibrium, the circuit is governed by the Kirchoff’s current law, that is \begin{align}\label{eqn:kcl} I_1 + I_{1E} = 0, \nonumber \\ I_2 + I_{2E} = 0. \end{align}
