The stability and dispersion properties of the proposed scheme are investigated and an air-filled spherical resonator is modeled in order to demonstrate the advantage of this scheme over the finite-difference time-domain（FDTD） and the multiresolution time-domain（MRTD） schemes with respect to memory requirements and CPU time. Moreover, the Berenger＇s perfectly matched layer（PML） is derived for the spherical HO-FDTD grids, and the numerical results validate the efficiency of the PML.展开更多

The first-order temperature compensation is achieved by the idea of self temperature-compensation configuration exploiting the temperature coefficient of a combined resistor. The second-order compensation employs a VBE-tracking thermal-startup technique to obtain improved temperature performance. The proposed circuit can operate down to a 1-V supply. A temperature coefficient of 46.6×10?6/℃ [0, 100℃] at a 1-V supply and a supply regulation of 0.036%/V at 25℃ are achieved. Compared with present works, the proposed circuit shows better results of the temperature coefficient and supply regulation. The current matching issue frequently encountered in current references is also discussed in detail.展开更多
