Frequency synthesizers are critical components of all communication systems. This thesis considers the issue of undesirable frequency spurs of a relatively recent type of frequency synthesis architecture called digital-t ...

End-user programmers face many barriers in programming. Research has seen many programming environments that attempted to lower or remove the barriers but despite these efforts, empirical studies continue to report barri ...

Analog computation in the form of neural networks is currently receiving much attention. Existing algorithms cannot be easily implemented in hardware because of the large number of neurons needed and the number of con ...
