  • Methods for short-term prediction of wind speeds in the Pacific Northwest Columbia Gorge wind farm region

    Creator:
    Davidson, James D.
    Abstract:
    Variable electrical generation (VG) sources such as wind farms are an increasing percentage of total electrical generation in the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) balancing area and are starting to impact the ability of the regional balancing authority to control the electric grid. Wind farms are not dispatchable and challenge historical...

  • Implementation of Distributed Localized Communications

    Creator:
    Snyder, Thomas
    Abstract:
    Artificial collectives are useful for accomplishing tasks that require teamwork from multiple simple robots. Multiple robot and collective testbeds have been developed, yet none stay committed to leverage the local interactions, group size, and imperfect information assumptions that strengthen biological collectives. A review of the collective and multiple robot literature,...

  • p-type transparent electronics

    Creator:
    Valencia, Melinda Marie
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the development of p-type materials for transparent electronics applications. Thin films of ®-BaCu2S2, a p-type semi-transparent semiconductor, are fabricated and characterized. ®-BaCu2S2 has a transmittance of 60% to 80 % in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The mobility, conductivity,...

  • The analysis and design of a broadband microwave buffer amplifier

    Creator:
    Dunsmore, Joel P.
    Abstract:
    In microwave network analysis, proper matching of the measurement system is necessary to prevent measurement errors and provide a proper terminating impedance for the device-under-test. To obtain this matching, a buffer amplifier is often used in the first stage of the network analyzer. This study describes the design and analysis...

  • Current-feedthrough cancellation technique for current-mode T/H circuits

    Creator:
    Young, David Y. W.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, an analysis of the clock-feedthrough effects in switched-current (SI)' circuits will be presented. The clock-feedthrough effects caused by the non-ideal characteristic of MOS switches when they are turned off limit the accuracy of the analog track-and-hold (T/H) circuits. A model to analyze and characterize this effect is...

  • A P-well GaAs MESFET technology

    Creator:
    Canfield, Philip C.
    Abstract:
    The semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs) has many potential advantages over the more widely used semiconductor silicon (Si). These include higher low field mobility, semi-insulating substrates, a direct band-gap, and greater radiation hardness. All these advantages offer distinct opportunities for implementation of new circuit functions or extension of the operating conditions...

  • Recombination and generation lifetime characterization of p/p⁺ epitaxial silicon wafers

    Creator:
    Aminzadeh, Mehran G.
    Abstract:
    The refresh times of all dynamic charge storage devices, best characterized by the generation lifetime at roan temperature and the recombination lifetime at higher device operating temperatures (T>70°C), strongly influence the efficient and successful operation of dynamic charge storage devices such as DRAM's and CCD's. Both recombination and generation lifetime...

  • Adversarial planning by strategy switching in a real-time strategy game

    Creator:
    King, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of strategic adversarial planning in a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. Strategic adversarial planning is the generation of a network of high-level tasks to satisfy goals while anticipating an adversary's actions. In this thesis we describe an abstract state and action space used for planning in an...

  • Modeling and development of p-type thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Spiegelberg, Matthew Craig
    Abstract:
    The primary focus of this thesis involves modeling and development of p-type thin-film transistors (p-TFTs), moving towards the realization of a filly transparent thin-film transistor (TTFT). The modeling portion of this thesis emphasizes the development of physics-based TFT models, specifically focusing on the elucidation of non-ideal current-voltage characteristic behavior. A...
