  • A Microwave Signal Correlator Based on Parametric Pumping of Spin Waves

    Creator:
    Hansen, Mikkel N.
    Abstract:
    This work demonstrates correlation of microwave signals encoded with 16-bit codes using the parametric interaction of spin waves. Signal processing correlators are devices that compare two signals, such as a reference code and a received code, where the output indicates the similarity between the signals. Correlators are used in communication...

  • 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...

  • A novel linear generator for wave energy applications

    Creator:
    Ernst, Steven George
    Abstract:
    With the increasing effort to identify alternative methods of energy generation, extraction of ocean energy has gathered a large interest. Research and industry have begun considering wave energy as the next new alternative energy. The unique challenges of ocean energy requires a wave energy converter to be both robust and...

  • Side channel attack resistant elliptic curves cryptosystem on multi-cores for power efficiency

    Creator:
    Yoo, Jaewon
    Abstract:
    The Advent of multi-cores allows programs to be executed much faster than before. Cryptoalgorithms use long-bit words thus parallelizing these operations on multi-cores will achieve significant performance improvement. However, not all long-bit word operations in cryptosystems are suitable for parallel execution on multi-cores. In particular, long-bit words used in Elliptic...

  • Scaled modeling and simulation of ocean wave linear generator buoy systems

    Creator:
    Gore, Ganesh P.
    Abstract:
    Accurate scaled modeling and simulation are critical to advancing ocean wave linear generator buoys. A 100th scaled model of ocean wave generator buoy systems is analyzed by solving the Navier-Stokes equations. These equations are numerically solved using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) by implementing the front capturing method. In this thesis,...

  • Channel Estimation in TDD Massive MIMO Systems with Subsampled Data at BS

    Creator:
    Tian, Yichuan
    Abstract:
    Massive MIMO is a promising technique for future 5G communications due to its high spectrum and energy efficiency. To realize its potential performance gain, accurate channel state information at transmitter side (CSIT) is essential. Frequency division duplex (FDD) is widely employed by the most cellular systems today. However, it requires...

  • Coordinating secondary-user behaviors for inelastic traffic reward maximization in large-scale DSA networks

    Creator:
    NoroozOliaee, MohammadJavad
    Abstract:
    We develop efficient coordination techniques that support inelastic traffic in large-scale distributed dynamic spectrum access DSA networks. By means of any learning algorithm, the proposed techniques enable DSA users to locate and exploit spectrum opportunities effectively, thereby increasing their achieved throughput (or "rewards" to be more general). Basically, learning algorithms...

  • Multi-User Massive MIMO Channel Estimation Based on Kalman Filters

    Creator:
    Yao, Zhaoda
    Abstract:
    In wireless communication, channel state information (CSI) is essential for data detection. Fast fading coefficients estimation is important in order to acquire accurate CSI. Kalman filters (KF) are widely used for real time parameter estimation and can be used to estimate the fast fading coefficients of a mobile communication channel....

  • Architecture design of multiplexed incremental analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Zhang, Zhiqing
    Abstract:
    Analog-to-Digital Data Converters (ADCs) used in instrumentation and measurements often require high absolute accuracy, including excellent linearity and negligible dc offset. Incremental data converters (IDCs) provide a solution for such measurement applications. Since IDCs are essentially delta-sigma converters with reset operation before each conversion, they retain most of the advantages...

  • 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...
