  • Modeling and experimental verification of electric and magnetic fields generated by undersea power transmission cables

    Creator:
    York, Charles E.
    Abstract:
    As interest grows in developing devices to harvest energy from ocean waves, tidal currents, and offshore wind, concerns over possible environmental effects from such devices also grow. One such concern is over the induced electric fields and the generated magnetic fields from generators and their associated submarine power cables in...

  • Enabling Graceful Software Upgrades in Distributed Systems

    Creator:
    Gotlur Muralidhar, Hima
    Abstract:
    In today’s world, we are highly dependent on software systems together with devices for almost every task in our day to day life. Software system upgrades are released whenever it is necessary to accommodate the ever-changing user’s needs. The devices we use to run the software systems might be of...

  • A force control algorithm for a wave energy linear test bed

    Creator:
    Henshaw, Nathan R.
    Abstract:
    Researchers at Oregon State University, focusing on the development of ocean wave energy converters, have designed and installed a unique linear test bed to aid in the characterization of these converters. Under the original control scheme, the linear test bed follows a position profile and is limited in its ability...

  • Thin-film transistors with amorphous oxide channel layers

    Creator:
    Grover, Manan S.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, a new class of high-performance thin-film transistors (TFTs) has emerged comprising amorphous oxide channel materials composed of heavy-metal cations (HMCs) with (n-1)d¹⁰ns⁰ (n ≥ 4, where 'n' refers to the row of the periodic table) electronic configuration. This thesis is devoted to the fabrication and characterization of...

  • 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...

  • Malicious-proof and fair credit-based resource allocation techniques for DSA systems

    Creator:
    AlShammari, Tamara
    Abstract:
    In this paper, we propose a credit-based resource allocation technique for dynamic spectrum access (DSA) systems that is robust against malicious and selfi sh behaviors and ensures good overall system fairness performance while also allowing spectrum users to achieve high amounts of service. We also propose a new objective function...

  • An ultra low power frequency reference for timekeeping applications

    Creator:
    Oporta, Hector Ivan
    Abstract:
    An ultra low power crystal oscillator that provides a frequency reference for battery powered timekeeping applications is presented. An amplitude control circuit is employed to ensure that minimum current is consumed. A subthreshold voltage regulator provides a supply voltage for the oscillator with minimum current consumption. The oscillator and regulator...

  • Learning and Improving Policies for Probabilistic Planning Problems

    Creator:
    Issakkimuthu, Murugeswari
    Abstract:
    In this work, we study the problem of learning and improving policies for probabilistic planning problems. In the first part, we train neural network policies for probabilistic planning problems modeled as factored Markov decision problems. The objective is to train problem-specific neural networks via supervised learning to imitate the action...

  • Modeling and simulation methods for RF MEMS VCOs

    Creator:
    Sankaranarayanan, Janakiram Ganesh
    Abstract:
    This work focusses on the modeling and the development of efficient coupled simulation techniques for MEMS based RF oscillators. High-level models for MEMS based varactors have been discussed and their accuracy issues are identified, based on comparisons with numerical simulations. A faster simulation approach based on the time-domain shooting method...

  • Accurately tunable low-voltage continuous-time filters

    Creator:
    Vemulapalli, Gowtham
    Abstract:
    A tuning technique which tunes the continuous time filter very accurately is proposed in this thesis. This technique overcomes the problem of master slave mismatch, thus tuning the filter accurately. The mismatch minimization is done on power up on foreground while the background tuning is always operational. Once the mismatch...
