    Abstract: A communication apparatus and a communication method are provided. The communication apparatus includes an antenna configured to receive a wireless signal, an oscillator driven by a driving current and configured to generate an oscillating signal based on the wireless signal, a measurer configured to measure an oscillation degree of the oscillating signal, and an accumulator configured to accumulate a difference between a target value and a measurement value of the oscillation degree. A value of the wireless signal is determined based on a cumulative signal corresponding to the accumulated difference.

    Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus may include: an oscillator including a coil assembly exposed to an outside of the wireless communication apparatus, a variable capacitor, and a negative resistor; and a phase locking circuit connected to the coil assembly and the negative resistor. The phase locking circuit may be configured to generate a control signal to lock an oscillation frequency of the oscillator based on an oscillation signal generated by the oscillator, and provide the generated control signal to the variable capacitor.

    Abstract: A frequency calibrator includes an input signal generator configured to generate an input signal based on an oscillation signal and an external signal; a frequency difference extractor configured to extract, from the input signal, a frequency difference signal having a frequency corresponding to a frequency difference between an external frequency of the external signal and an oscillation frequency of the oscillation signal; a divider configured to generate a division signal by dividing a signal having the oscillation frequency by a division ratio; and a frequency tuner configured to tune the oscillation frequency of the oscillation signal based on a result of comparing the frequency difference signal to the division signal.

    Abstract: A method and memory device with in-memory computing defection detection is disclosed. A memory device includes a memory including banks, wherein each bank includes a respective plurality of bit-cells, an in-memory computation (IMC) operator configured to perform an IMC operation between first data while the first data is in the bit-cells of the memory and second data received as input to the memory device, wherein the banks share the operator, and wherein the memory device is configured to: generate a first test pattern that is stored in the memory and generate a second test pattern applied to the IMC operator, and based thereon determine whether a defect has occurred in either the memory or the operator, and perform a repair based on the determination that a defect has occurred.
