  • Modeling and analysis of spur structure of digital-to-time conversion based frequency synthesizers

    Creator:
    Talwalkar, Sumit A.
    Abstract:
    Frequency synthesizers are critical components of all communication systems. This thesis considers the issue of undesirable frequency spurs of a relatively recent type of frequency synthesis architecture called digital-to-time conversion (DTC). The DTC-based frequency synthesis architecture has important performance benefits over older frequency synthesizers, such as fast frequency switching, large...

  • Understanding the ultra-wideband channel within a computer chassis

    Creator:
    Redfield, Stephen J.
    Abstract:
    Recent developments in computing technology have generated a demand for more streamlined and effective test systems. By replacing traditional in-chassis wired interconnects with a broadcast wireless system, fault detection and error susceptibility will drastically improve, input/output capabilities will expand, and routing complexity will decrease. Ultra-wideband impulse radio's (UWB-IR) characteristic multipath-immunity...

  • Fast queuing policies via convex relaxation

    Creator:
    Nguyen-Huu, Duong
    Abstract:
    Traditionally, networking protocol designs have placed much emphasis on point-to-point reliability and efficiency. With the recent rise of mobile and multimedia applications, other considerations such as power consumption and/or Quality of Service (QoS) are becoming increasingly important factors in designing network protocols. As such, we present a new flexible framework...

  • Linearity enhancement techniques for data converters

    Creator:
    Cao, Jinzhou
    Abstract:
    Data converters are essential interface circuits between the analog world that people live in and the digital processors that people live with. Linearity, which often is a tradeoff against other performance criteria, is one of the major performance demands from applications for both analog-to-digital converts (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC)....

  • Digital pulse shape discrimination methods for triple-layer phoswich detectors using wavelets and fuzzy logic

    Creator:
    Yousefi, Siavash
    Abstract:
    A two-channel data acquisition system for simultaneous detection and discrimination of beta particles and gamma rays has been developed. Each channel measures and analyzes the input pulses resulting from the absorption of radiation in the layers of the detector. The detector is a triple-layer phoswich (phosphor sandwich) scintillation detector followed...
