Development and Implementation of JetNet : A Decentralized Wireless Sensing Protocol

Creator:

Goins, Justin B.

Abstract:

Modern sensor network applications are often implemented wirelessly in order to lessen installation costs and reduce deployment times. Unfortunately, these wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes must often rely on batteries or energy harvesting techniques in order to sustain their operation and supply the power needed to maintain communication within the...

Power Efficient Hybrid Architecture for High Resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters

Creator:

Zhang, Hui

Abstract:

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are the key building block for sensor applications, such as wireless communications and digital electronics. These applications require ADCs to have medium to high accuracy (normally from 10-14 bits) and relatively low signal bandwidth (ranging from 100Hz-150kHz). Since these applications are often powered by batteries, high power...

Masters Thesis
Noise and Blocker Cancellation Techniques for Power and Area Efficient Wireless Receivers

Creator:

Pourbagheri, Saeed

Abstract:

The design of mobile wireless devices has always focused on reducing power, area, and cost. This dissertation proposes two techniques that are leveraged to save power and area and therefore cost. The first techniques reduces the noise in the receiver and results in a relaxed power requirement. The second technique...

Analysis and Design of Low Voltage LC Oscillators and their Application to Wireless Sensor Networks

Creator:

Guha Roy, Ankur

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on the analysis, design, and application of inductor-capacitor (LC) oscillators for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). First an analysis and design optimization approach for enhanced swing, low power CMOS LC oscillators is presented. A phasor based analysis is used for determining the amplitude and phase noise of these...

Dissertation
Low power receivers for wireless sensor networks

Creator:

Ni, Ronghua

Abstract:

Wireless sensor networks are becoming important in several monitoring and sensing applications. Ultra low power consumption in the sensor nodes is important for extending the battery life of the nodes. In this dissertation, two low power BFSK receiver architectures are proposed and verified with prototype implementations in silicion. A 2.4...

Dissertation
A DC-DC converter architecture for low-power, high-resistance thermoelectric generators for use in body-powered designs

Creator:

Miller, Brian A.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a low power DC-DC converter suitable for harvesting energy from high impedance thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for the use in body powered electronics. The chip has been fabricated in a 130nm CMOS technology. To meet the power demands of body powered networks, a novel dual-path architecture capable of...

Masters Thesis
Predictive methodologies for substrate parasitic extraction and modeling in heavily doped CMOS substrates

Creator:

Sharma, Ajit

Abstract:

This thesis presents an automated methodology to calibrate the substrate profile for accurate prediction of substrate parasitics using Green's function based extractors. The technique requires fabrication of only a few test structures and results in an accurate three layered approximation of a heavily doped epitaxial silicon substrate. The obtained substrate...

Masters Thesis
Algorithms and tools for optimization of integrated RF VCOs

Creator:

Kratyuk, Volodymyr

Abstract:

This thesis presents algorithms and tools for the automated design of RF LC CMOS voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) with low phase noise given a set of specifications. The electromagnetic solver, ASITIC, combined with the circuit simulator, SpectreRF, allows optimization of the VCO circuit parameters and inductor layout. This approach gives...

Masters Thesis
Analysis and modeling of substrate noise coupling for NMOS transistors in heavily doped substrates

Creator:

Hsu, Shu-ching

Abstract:

This thesis examines substrate noise coupling for NMOS transistors in heavily doped substrates. The study begins with the analysis of an NMOS transistor switching noise in a digital inverter at the device level. A resistive substrate network for the NMOS transistor is proposed and verified. Coupling between N+- P+ contacts...

Masters Thesis
Steady-state analysis techniques for coupled device and circuit simulation

Creator:

Hu, Yutao

Abstract:

The focus of this work is on the steady-state analysis of RE circuits using a coupled device and circuit simulator. Efficient coupling algorithms for both the time-domain shooting method and the frequency-domain harmonic balance method have been developed. A modified Newton shooting method considerably improves the efficiency and reliability of...
