Creator:: Nasroullahi, Mohsen
Abstract:: This thesis presents a low-energy application specific digital controller for a battery-free 2.4 GHz wireless sensor network (WSN) node. The digital controller has been designed and fabricated in a standard 0.13 μm CMOS and implements a simple protocol for WSNs. Techniques such as supply voltage reduction and power gating have...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: instructors and professors, especially Roger Traylor, for teaching, guiding, mentoring and motivating me

Creator:: Hanken, Christopher
Abstract:: Efficient methods for simulating the substrate noise generated by complex synchronous and asynchronous digital logic circuits are presented. By simulating digital logic at the gate level, and precharacterizing the gates, the substrate noise generation can be predicted and used in a transistor level simulation of the sensitive analog blocks. This...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Miller, Brian A.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a low power DC-DC converter suitable for harvesting energy from high impedance thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for the use in body powered electronics. The chip has been fabricated in a 130nm CMOS technology. To meet the power demands of body powered networks, a novel dual-path architecture capable of...

Full Text:: Roger Traylor. I may have only been in two of his classes, but they were the two most important

Creator:: Meliza, Stephen W.
Abstract:: Low energy design techniques for digital circuits are examined to determine their suitability for use in a digital logic controller for wireless sensor network nodes. Transistor level simulations are used to evaluate the techniques and those demonstrating an energy reduction are used to implement a digital logic controller. The digital...

Full Text:: , Patrick Chiang and Dr. Ethan Minot, for their time and support. I thank my professors, especially Roger

Creator:: Smit, Adriaan
Abstract:: In April of 1997 it was pointed out at an NSF Engineering Education Innovators conference that “… education appears to ignore the need for connections and for integration – which should be at the core of an engineering education.” In order to solve this problem a group named ‘TekBotsTM’ was...

Full Text:: Ralph Stirling (Professor), Carlton Cross (Professor), Roger Traylor (Mentor), and my father, Michiel

Creator:: Heer, Donald
Abstract:: In 2000 the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Oregon State University began a new and innovative program named TekBots[superscript TM]. This program was created to solve the problems of students in existing undergraduate engineering education not having sufficient skill when graduating in six program educational objectives; Depth, Breadth, Professionalism,...
