A fully integrated CMOS latched comparator is presented for use as a wake-up circuit that is attached to an RF energy harvester in a battery free wireless sensor network. The system consumes less than 36nA static current ...

The classical store-and-forward routing has and will continue to be the most important routing architecture in many modern packet-switched communication networks. In a packet-switched network, data is sent in the form of ...

Since its introduction in the early 1990s, the quick growth of the World Wide Web (WWW) traffic raises the question of whether past Local Area Network (LAN) packet traces still reflect the current situation or whether ...

During the last few years we have seen formidable advances in digital and mobile communication technologies such as cordless and cellular telephones, personal communication systems, Internet connection expansion, etc. ...

This thesis presents new, compact configurations for RF/microwave bandstop and lowpass filters for embedded passive applications. A simple design methodology is presented for designing the folded-transmission line filter ...

The recent demand for wireless transceivers has created a flurry of research into nontraditional receiver architectures. The homodyne receiver, because of its high degree of integration, low complexity and low power co ...

We describe novel methods for obtaining fast software implementations of the arithmetic operations in the finite field GF(p) and GF(p[superscript k]). In GF(p) we realize an extensive speedup in modular addition and su ...

This thesis describes the design of a RISC architecture for high speed data acquisition. The structure of existing data acquisition systems is first examined. An instruction set is created to allow the data acquisitio ...

Estimating the carrier frequency from a modulated waveform is one of the most important functions of a coherent signal receiver. Good performance and low bit error rates are obtained by coherent demodulation. Therefore ...
