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...

PAPR Reduction of Optical OFDM Systems with Exponential Companding Transform and Zero Padding

Creator:

Chen, Deyan

Abstract:

Optical wireless communication (OWC) is an alternative to radio frequency (RF)communication with a signi cantly larger and unregulated spectrum. In OWC systems, optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (O-OFDM) with intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) is commonly used. There are two common signal structures in most OWC systems based on...

Threshold Selection Based on the SNR in Time of Arrival Localization System

Creator:

Lyu, Tao

Abstract:

Threshold-based time of arrival (TOA) estimation is a technique for high-precision indoor localization. Existing threshold selection methods, such as xed thresh- old and normalized threshold methods, do not consider the signal-to-noise radio (SNR) value at the receiver. This is not desired for high-precision positioning. A proper threshold value depends on...

Fabrication of Cost-effective Flexible Glucose Sensor for Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Creator:

Mullapudi, Sri Sai Kameswara

Abstract:

Diabetes is a pandemic that affects nearly 29.1 million Americans and the fourth leading cause of mortality in the US. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition which occurs due to little to no production of insulin by the pancreas. This form of diabetes requires constant monitoring of blood glucose...

Transmission and Combining for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Systems

Creator:

Whang, Younghoon

Abstract:

Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) schemes combine packet retransmission with forward error correction to ensure a reliable communications. In multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) systems, interference cancellation (IC) detection is widely used where the detection and cancellation steps of the simultaneously transmitted data streams occur. In principle, the signal stream estimated...

Development and Experimental Hardware Validation of Novel Variable Speed Hydropower Control Schemes for Emerging Applications and Water Resource Paradigms

Creator:

Starrett, Michael A.

Abstract:

Recent opportunities for new hydropower generation in the United States have often been in non-powered dams and run-of-river type flows occurring in low-impact natural areas and unregulated conduits. At the same time, a changing water resource paradigm is challenging some existing generation in drought stricken areas where supply reservoirs behind...

Finite Element Analysis Modeling and Experimental Verification of Reflected Wave Phenomena in Variable Speed Machine Drive Cables

Creator:

Louie, Alex

Abstract:

Modern variable speed machine drive (VSMD) systems are used for a variety of purposes including generation, propulsion, pumps and compressors. They employ high switching frequency power electronics to drive the electric machine. The machine is subject to large voltage overshoot if long power cables, are used, called Reflected Wave Phenomena...

Mobility Protocol, Channel Estimation and Modulation Techniques for Hybrid WiFi-FSO (WiFO) WLAN of Femtocells

Creator:

Chu, Yu-Jung

Abstract:

As the price of broadband access service becomes more affordable, the number of homes with WiFi and public WiFi hotspots in the US are projected to increase significantly in the next few years. However, limited capacity of existing WiFi networks fail to provide adequate bandwidth for densely populated areas. Therefore,...

Printing 3D Magnetic Composite Structures with Arbitrary Anisotropy using UV-curable Magnetic Ink

Creator:

Clay, Garrett

Abstract:

Inkjet printing offers a cost effective, highly customizable method for rapid manufacturing of functional devices with minimal material waste. Although this method has been used for a variety of composites, little work has been done in the area of 3D printing magnetic composites. Presented here is a process for inkjet...

Determining The Impact of Photovoltaic Generation on Power Systems

Creator:

AL-Anazi, Falah

Abstract:

The National Conference of State Legislatures NCSL declares that 29 states have been active in adopting and increasing renewable portfolio standards. Present renewable portfolio standards require utilities to increase integration of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV). The increased penetration of PV systems is expected to destabilize the power...

Klarr, Tyler D.

Abstract:

As scaling of silicon (Si) based devices approaches fundamental limits, thin film metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel diodes are attracting interest due to their potential for high speed operation. Because operation of these devices is based on tunneling, electrode / interfacial roughness is critical. Recently, it was shown that combining ultra-smooth bottom...
