Advanced Circuit Design and Implementation of a Highly Digitalized Third-Order VCO-Based Sigma-Delta Modulator With Enhanced Noise Transfer Function by Shuenn-Yuh Lee, Yi-Ting Hsieh, Ju-Yi Chen

“…Measurement results reveal that the proposed highly digitalized SDM has a signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) of 80.35 dB in the 10 kHz bandwidth and consumes <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$67.34~\mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>W under a supply voltage of 1.2 V, achieving a peak Schreier figure of merit (FoM) of 164.7 dB. The experimental setup of the proposed analog-front-end (AFE) architecture is also presented to showcase the AFE functionality.…”

Evaluation of PM2.5 Surface Concentrations Simulated by NASA’s MERRA Version 2 Aerosol Reanalysis over India and its Relation to the Air Quality Index by Chimurkar D. Navinya, V. Vinoj, Satyendra K. Pandey

“…While the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) measured exceedances of the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) on 34% of the days, MERRA-2’s prediction was only 11%, and its estimate of the annual average PM2.5 concentration across all of the sites was also negatively biased, by ~27 µg m−3. Correlations of 0.96 and 0.6 were found between the estimates and the measurements for the monthly and the daily averaged concentrations, respectively; these numbers can be dramatically improved by applying a simple bias correction. …”
