  • Solar Photovoltaics: Comparisons of Different Approaches and Technologies

    Creator:
    Louie, Michael Y. K.
    Abstract:
    Solar photovoltaic is considered one among many new alternatives to satisfy our demand for energy. Solar Cells have undergone changes in the last 50 years or so since its invention in 1954. Solar power is beginning to challenge conventional energy sources in terms of mainstream acceptance. Solar power along with...

  • Random dopants and low-frequency noise reduction in deep-submicron MOSFET technology

    Creator:
    Miller, Drake A.
    Abstract:
    The future of mixed-signal, memory, and microprocessor technologies are dependent on ever increasing analog and digital integration, higher cell densities, and demand for more processing power. As a result MOSFET device dimensions continue to shrink to meet these demands. A side effect of device scaling is increased variability at each...

  • Ultra low capacitance RFIC probe

    Creator:
    Jacob, Michael E.
    Abstract:
    In Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) or high frequency digital ICs, there is a demand to probe the internal nodes for testing. The ultra low capacitance RFIC probe presented in his work is a flexible tool for these applications. The probe utilizes the coupling between a tungsten needle and the...

  • Timing jitter and phase noise in electronic oscillators

    Creator:
    Zhang, Chengwei
    Abstract:
    In the first part of this dissertation, low frequency l/f or flicker noise in the frequency range of Hz to kHz has been identified and demonstrated to be described by temperature fluctuations in heat conduction in bipolar transistors operated at higher power densities. This noise phenomenon is not described by...

  • Comparison and analysis of jitter in CMOS ring oscillators

    Creator:
    Natesan, Peroly
    Abstract:
    A comparison and analysis of jitter for five different architectures of ring oscillators using a novel simulation technique developed by Professor Forbes' group is presented. Ring oscillators have become an essential building block in many digital and synchronous communications system due to their integrated nature and are widely used in...

  • 1/f noise of GaAs resistors on semi-insulating substrates, and 1/f noise due to temperature fluctuations in heat conduction

    Creator:
    Choi, Mun-Seork
    Abstract:
    This research work focuses on the mechanism of 1/f noise in GaAs resistors on semi-insulating substrates and 1/f noise due to temperature fluctuations in heat conduction in resistors, diodes, and bipolar transistors. The goal of this research is to generate accurate models to explain physical origin of 1/f noise in...

  • Variational Satisfiability Solving

    Creator:
    Young, Jeffrey M.
    Abstract:
    Over the last two decades, satisfiability and satisfiability-modulo theory (SAT/SMT) solvers have grown powerful enough to be general purpose reasoning engines throughout software engineering and computer science. However, most practical use cases of SAT/SMT solvers require not just solving a single SAT/SMT problem, but solving sets of related SAT/SMT problems....

  • Towards Direct Simultaneous Speech Translation

    Creator:
    Chen, Junkun
    Abstract:
    Simultaneous speech translation (SimulST) is widely useful in many cross-lingual communication scenarios, including multinational conferences and international traveling. Since text-based simultaneous machine translation (SimulMT) has achieved great success in recent years. The conventional cascaded approach for SimulST uses a pipeline of streaming ASR followed by simultaneous MT but suffers from...

  • Development of acoustic transducers for use in the parametric pumping of spin waves

    Creator:
    Gross, Jonah M.
    Abstract:
    The work detailed here is the development of simulations and fabrication techniques used for the construction of thin-film acoustic transducers for use in the parametric pumping of spin waves. The Mason Model, a 1-D equivalent circuit simulating the responses of multilayer acoustic transducers, is implemented using ABCD-parameters in MATLAB to...

  • On a Topological Criterion for the Construction of Higher Arity Metrics

    Creator:
    Barkan, Willow
    Abstract:
    Metric spaces (X, d) are ubiquitous objects in mathematics and computer science that are able to capture pairwise distance relationships d(x, y) between points x, y ∈ X. Because of this, it is natural to ask what useful generalizations there are of metric spaces for capturing “k-wise distance relationships” d(x1,...
