  • Design and analysis techniques for nano-joule ADCs and sampling linearity

    Creator:
    Brown, Thomas (Thomas William)
    Abstract:
    Two aspects of ADC system performance are addressed in this work. First, the combination of the ADC and its associated reference are co-designed for an energy constrained remote sensing system. Second, sampling linearity is mathematically analyzed as a function of frequency to provide enhanced understanding into an ADC's requisite sampling...

  • A Wireless Energy Harvester for Powering Event-driven Internet-of-things Applications and Battery Charging

    Creator:
    Sadagopan, Kamala Raghavan
    Abstract:
    The need for sustainably powering unobtrusive internet-of-things applications has led to an interest in energy harvesting. Particularly, the proliferation of wireless communication and devices in the 2.4 GHz Industrial Scientific c Medical (ISM) band creates an opportunity to leverage commonly used devices for RF powering. This dissertation presents a low-quiescent-power...

  • A dual-path 2-0 MASH ADC with dual digital error correction

    Creator:
    Zhang, Zhenyong
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents a dual-path 2-0 MASH (Multi-stAge-noise -SHaping) ADC with two verified digital corrections of DAC mismatch error and quantization noise leakage. By using these two techniques, the requirements for the analog circuits are greatly relaxed. The dual-path structure generates two outputs, one only composed of conversion errors, the...

  • A multi-bit delta sigma audio digital-to-analog converter

    Creator:
    Wang, Ruopeng
    Abstract:
    Digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with wide dynamic range and high linearity are required for high-end audio applications. A multi-bit delta sigma audio DAC, using a novel gain-correction technique, is described in this thesis. For widely varying on-chip RC time constant, the DAC gain can be accurately controlled by the correction circuitry....

  • Linearizing techniques for voltage controlled oscillator based analog to digital converters

    Creator:
    Rao, Sachin B.
    Abstract:
    Voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based ADC is an important class of time-domain ADC that has gained widespread acceptance due to their several desirable properties. VCO-based ADCs behave like an open-loop continuous time ΔΣ modulator and achieve excellent resolution by first order noise shaping the quantization error. However, the SNDR of...

  • A multi-bit hybrid DSM over full-scale range without feedback DEM

    Creator:
    Kwon, Sunwoo, 1974-
    Abstract:
    Evolution of the mobile communication standards and proliferation of hand-held devices mandate stringent Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) specifications. Among various ADCs, a ∆Σ ADC is best known as a power-efficient ADC when more than 12b is required. However, a conventional discrete-time (DT) ∆Σ Modulator (∆ΣM) is inadequate for low-power wideband applications...

  • Part-based and Uncertainty-Aware Few-shot Object Segmentation in Images

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Khoi D.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses few-shot object segmentation in images. The goal of segmentation is to label every image pixel with a class of the object occupying that pixel, where the class may represent a semantic object category or instance. In few-shot segmentation, training and test datasets have different classes. Every new...

  • Path-based dynamic impact analysis

    Creator:
    Law, James (James Bruce)
    Abstract:
    Successful software systems evolve over their lifetimes through the cumulative changes made by software maintainers. As software evolves, the problems resulting from software change worsen, exacerbated by increased system size and complexity, lack of program understanding, amount of effort required to make changes, and number of personnel involved. Experience shows...

  • Design of a 14-bit continuous-time Delta-Sigma A/D modulator with 2.5MHz signal bandwidth

    Creator:
    Li, Zhimin
    Abstract:
    In recent years, there has been growing interest in both industry and academia to use continuous-time (CT) Δ-Σ A/D converters for wideband wireless and wireline communication applications. So far no reported CT Δ-Σ A/D modulator achieves 14-bit or higher dynamic range (DR) with more than 2MHz signal bandwidth (equivalently 4MS/s)....
