A 5 GHz Wi-Fi Receiver Front End with 4x80 MHz Channels for a High Accuracy Indoor Localization System

Creator:: Gray, Kyle L.
Abstract:: The ability to accurately locate people and objects indoors will enable opportunities for control and automation of indoor environments. Current indoor localization solutions require dedicated hardware which must be custom tailored to each application. There are large technological, societal, and economic benefits in developing a more general purpose system that...

A channelized digital receiver design for UWB sytems in a multipath indoor environment

Creator:: Chang, Yuhao
Abstract:: This thesis presents a channelized digital receiver design for UWB sytems in a multipath indoor environment. The UWB technology has been used for commercial and military purposes due to a number of advantages such as low-power consumption, noise-like and carrier free. The energy of UWB signal is spread over a...

A comparative study of lowpass continuous-time delta-sigma modulators with pulse-shaped DACs

Creator:: Fang, Jie
Abstract:: Recently, continuous-time ΔΣ modulators are appearing increasingly often in both the literature and the marketplace due to their features of inherent antialiasing and relaxed requirements for opamp and so on. However, several nonideal factors such as clock jitter, excess loop delay, inter-symbol interference and so on, degrade the SNR performance...

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...

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...

A study of basic building blocks of analog-to-digital delta-sigma modulators

Creator:: Guo, Yuhua
Abstract:: In this thesis, a novel Direct-Charge-Transfer (DCT) integrator structure is proposed, which can settle much faster than regular switch-capacitor integrators. A new Spread-Spectrum Dynamic Element Matching (SS-DEM) algorithm is also introduced, which can effectively spread or shape the nonlinearity error of multi-bit DAC in the feedback path, thus improve the...

A survey on continuous-time modulators : theory, designs and implementations

Creator:: Gao, Xiaoran
Abstract:: Recently, delta-sigma modulation has become a widely applied technique for high-performance analog-to-digital conversion of narrow-band signals. Most of the early designs used discrete-time structure for good accuracy and good linearity. The transfer functions are independent of the clock frequency. However, high unity-gain bandwidths of the opamps are required to satisfy...

An enhanced swing differential Colpitts CMOS VCO for low-voltage operation

Creator:: Farahbakhshian, Farhad
Abstract:: An enhanced swing differential Colpitts VCO (ESDC-VCO) dramatically improves the swing of a Colpitts VCO by allowing the signal to swing below ground and above the supply voltage. Fabricated in a 1P8M 0.13 um CMOS process, the ESDC-VCO operates at 4.9GHz with a 0.475-V supply and consumes 2.7mW. The measured...

An ultra low power frequency reference for timekeeping applications

Creator:: Oporta, Hector Ivan
Abstract:: An ultra low power crystal oscillator that provides a frequency reference for battery powered timekeeping applications is presented. An amplitude control circuit is employed to ensure that minimum current is consumed. A subthreshold voltage regulator provides a supply voltage for the oscillator with minimum current consumption. The oscillator and regulator...
