  • A nano-power wake-up circuit for RF energy harvesting wireless sensor networks

    Creator:
    Lindsley, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    A fully integrated CMOS latched comparator is presented for use as a wake-up circuit that is attached to an RF energy harvester in a battery free wireless sensor network. The system consumes less than 36nA static current at 20°C and dissipates 2pJ of energy per conversion. The comparator comprises of...

  • Ultra-low-energy transmitters for battery-free wireless sensor networks

    Creator:
    Panitantum, Napong
    Abstract:
    As the number of autonomous data collection applications keep increasing, the demand for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has seen explosive growth. In this dissertation, an ultra-low-energy WSN transmitter is developed to reduce the energy consumption of sensor nodes in WSNs. With an ultra-low-energy transceiver, it is possible to eliminate the...

  • Ultra-low energy digital logic controller design for wireless sensor networks

    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...

  • Ultra-low power receivers for wireless sensor networks

    Creator:
    Ayers, James S.
    Abstract:
    In wireless sensor network applications, low-power operation of the wireless receiver is critical. To address this need an ultra-low power Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) receiver using the super-regenerative architecture is developed. A prototype receiver is built and tested for operation in the 900 MHz ISM band. Lab measurements show...

  • Extending the TekBots [superscript TM] Platform for Learning [superscript TM] to upper division ECE courses

    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...

  • Simulation and modeling of substrate noise generation from synchronous and asynchronous digital logic circuits

    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...

  • Analysis and modeling of substrate noise coupling for NMOS transistors in heavily doped substrates

    Creator:
    Hsu, Shu-ching
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines substrate noise coupling for NMOS transistors in heavily doped substrates. The study begins with the analysis of an NMOS transistor switching noise in a digital inverter at the device level. A resistive substrate network for the NMOS transistor is proposed and verified. Coupling between N+- P+ contacts...
