  • Design considerations for fast-settling operational amplifiers

    Creator:
    Yang, Howard C.
    Abstract:
    The design considerations for fast-settling operational amplifiers (opamps) differ significantly between sampled-data switchedcapacitor (SC) and conventional continuous-time applications. In SC circuits, the shape of the output voltage waveform of an opamp is of no consequence provided that the output settles to within a specified tolerance of its steady-state value prior...

  • LORAN-C receiver position estimation from noisy time-difference data

    Creator:
    Weisshaar, Andreas
    Abstract:
    In order to analyze the accuracy of the navigation system LORAN-C, we have collected time - difference (TD) data from the U.S. west coast chain (9940) at a fixed receiver location (Corvallis, Oregon). The analysis of the TD data shows an unexpected high correlation between the TDs as well as...

  • Design and computer-aided optimization of RF CMOS power amplifiers

    Creator:
    Gupta, Ravi
    Abstract:
    In recent years, there has been an extensive effort to develop low-cost implementations of radio frequency integrated circuits for consumer applications. This thesis is a research effort in the design and implementation of integrated RF CMOS Power Amplifiers (PAs). A significant challenge in the implementation of RF CMOS ICs is...

  • Liquid crystal thermography : a new system for breast cancer detection

    Creator:
    Bichara, Kamal Fouad
    Abstract:
    A liquid crystal thermographic technique was developed for application to several problems in clinical medicine and physiology. The procedure was inexpensive, rapid, simple, versatile and acceptable to patients. Investigators in the past have used cholesteric liquid crystals for thermography but their use was limited to research in the medical field...

  • Variable linear phase digital filters

    Creator:
    Acuna, Fernando R.
    Abstract:
    Linear phase variable filters that are obtained with a frequency transformation of the form cos(ω) = P(cos(W)) were analyzed, where P is a finite degree polynomial, ω is the prototype frequency and W is the transformed filter frequency. A new transformation of third order is proposed. The new variable filter...

  • Frequency-domain, parameter estimation for a brushless, doubly-fed machine

    Creator:
    Ramchandran, Ashok
    Abstract:
    A Brushless, Doubly Fed Machine (BDFM) attempts to combine the advantages of conventional induction and synchronous types of electrical machines by its unique architecture. The validation of BDFM designs in an actual test environment requires the estimation of the BDFM model parameters from actual experimentation. Accurate values for the parameters...

  • Applications of mathematical programming techniques in optimal power flow problems

    Creator:
    Li, Ruqi
    Abstract:
    In the past two decades, a great amount of attention has been paid to investigating the economic and safe operation of power systems using modern mathematical techniques. The classic economic dispatch problem, now often called the Optimal Power Flow problem, has been formulated as a mathematical optimization problem and has...

  • Compensation techniques for cascaded delta-sigma A/D converters and high-performance switched-capacitor circuits

    Creator:
    Sun, Tao
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes compensation techniques for cascaded delta-sigma A/D converters (ADCs) and high-performance switched-capacitor (SC) circuits. Various correlated-double-sampling (CDS) techniques are presented to reduce the effects of the nonidealities, such as clock feedthrough, charge injection, opamp input-referred noise and offset, and finite opamp gain, in SC circuits. A CDS technique...

    Creator:
    Huang, Yunteng
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes design techniques for high-performance switched-capacitor (SC) circuits, primarily for high-linearity low-noise SC circuits in the presence of component imperfections, such as nonlinear op-amp voltage transfer characteristics, capacitor nonlinearities as well as the finite op-amp dc gain and op-amp offset and noise. Various correlated-double-sampling (CDS) schemes are discussed,...
