  • Network Abnormalities in Routerless Networks on Chip

    Creator:
    Gambord, Ryan T.
    Abstract:
    Routerless networks on chip (NoCs) were recently introduced as an alternative to traditional mesh-based scalable networks, promising improved performance and scalability with a large decrease in power and area usage by the elimination of routing on in-flight packets. Without mitigation, most network designs, including routerless, are susceptible to loss of...

  • A pipelined baseband digital predistortion architecture for RF amplifier linearization

    Creator:
    Xu, Xiangqing
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the design of a baseband digital predistortion architecture for radio frequency (RF) amplifier linearization. Existing amplifier linearization techniques are first examined. The nonlinearity of an amplifier can be characterized as amplitude-to-amplitude distortion and amplitude-to-phase distortion. The distortion can be corrected by providing a predistorted driver signal (both...

    Abstract:
    Worst-case analysis is often meaningless in practice. Some problems never reach the anticipated worst-case complexity. Other solutions get bogged down with impractical constants during implementation, despite having favorable asymptotic running times. In this thesis, we investigate these contrasts in the context of finding maximum flows in planar digraphs. We suggest...
