  • Phase noise models for single-ended ring oscillators

    Creator:
    Godbole, Devavrata
    Abstract:
    The tremendous growth of wireless and mobile communications has resulted in placing of stringent requirements on the channel spacing and, by implication, on the phase noise of oscillators, typically mandating the use of passive LC oscillators with high quality factor (Q). However the trend towards large-scale integration and low cost...

  • DC notch filter offset cancellation for direct-conversion receivers

    Creator:
    Pan, Dongling
    Abstract:
    Direct-conversion architecture would dominate the modern low power wireless receiver architecture if problems such as offset cancellation, even-order distortion, and flicker noise were solved. Among those problems, offset is the most serious one. This thesis will discuss and analyze one approach to cancel offsets in direct-conversion receivers. First, we explain...

  • Efficient digital predistortion techniques for power amplifier linearization

    Creator:
    Zhuo, Min
    Abstract:
    The importance of spectral efficiency in mobile communications often requires the use of non-constant-envelop linear digital modulation schemes. These modulation techniques carry signal information in both magnitude and phase, thus they must be linearly amplified to avoid nonlinear signal distortion which is not correctable in a typical receiver. A second...

  • Fourier deep level transient spectroscopy and its application to gold in silicon

    Creator:
    Divekar, Prasad K.
    Abstract:
    A primarily software based Fourier Deep Level Transient Spectroscope (FDLTS) is built. The raw capacitance transient is acquired and digitized using capacitance meter HP4280A whereas the signal analysis is done using a customized software module. The software module calculates both the conventional DLTS spectrum and the Fourier DLTS spectrum. This...

  • Maximization of energy capture of passive, variable-speed wind-turbine

    Creator:
    Kinjo, Fuminao
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents and examines the concept that the output of a wound-rotor induction generator (WRIG) can be limited by means of linking to external impedances for wind-turbine generating system application. An 80kW-WRIG is simulated as a model to examine the control of the output power vs. speed characteristic. Model...

  • Model extraction of a paddle in plastic surface-mount RF-IC packages

    Creator:
    Sundberg, Garth
    Abstract:
    Plastic packaging is a cost-effective solution for housing RF and microwave integrated circuits in low cost communication devices. While enabling low cost packaging of integrated circuits, plastic packages including the circuit ground patch (paddle) inside the package can have a significant parasitic effect on circuit performance. The purpose of this...

  • Electro-optical characterization of SrS:Ce, SrS:Cu, and SrS:Cu,Ag alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent devices

    Creator:
    Grudzinsky, Arkady S.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of SrS-based alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) device operation. Three main accomplishments serving this purpose are presented in this thesis. First, two new methods are developed for estimation of insulator capacitance in ACTFEL devices possessing a large amount of dynamic...

  • Design of a mini-computer controlled digital integrated circuit tester

    Creator:
    Fasang, Patrick Pad, 1941-
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the thesis is to design, construct, program, and test an automatic integrated circuit test system. The class of integrated circuits tested was restricted to digital integrated circuits. The general concept of testing a digital integrated circuit is based on the truth table of that circuit. A combination...

  • Oxide phosphors deposited by activated reactive evaporation for ACTFEL device applications

    Creator:
    Yokoyama, Tomoe
    Abstract:
    The goal of this thesis study is to develop an activated reactive evaporation (ARE) system and to demonstrate its utility by fabricating-alternating current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) oxide phosphor devices. ARE entails evaporation in an activated gas. The main ARE system components are three thermal evaporation sources, a microwave power supply,...
