  • 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...

  • Some contributions to asymmetric error control codes

    Creator:
    Elmougy, Samir
    Abstract:
    In some practical systems, most of the errors are of 1 → 0 type and 0 → 1 errors occur very rarely. In this thesis, first, the capacity of the asymmetric channel is derived. The capacity of the binary symmetric channel (BSC) and the Z-channel can be derived from this...

  • Low-complexity high-speed VLSI design of low-density parity-check decoders

    Creator:
    Cui, Zhiqiang
    Abstract:
    Low-Density Parity-check (LDPC) codes have attracted considerable attention due to their capacity approaching performance over AWGN channel and highly parallelizable decoding schemes. They have been considered in a variety of industry standards for the next generation communication systems. In general, LDPC codes achieve outstanding performance with large codeword lengths (e.g.,...

  • 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,...

  • 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...

  • Information theoretic approach to quantization and classification for signal processing, communications, and machine learning applications

    Creator:
    Thuan Nguyen D.
    Abstract:
    There are five main contributions of this dissertation. The first contribution is new closed-form expressions for channel capacity of a new class of channel matrices. The second contribution is the discovery of the structure for optimal binary quantizer and the associated methods for finding an optimal quantizer that maximizes mutual...

  • High efficiency delta-sigma modulation data converters

    Creator:
    Lee, Kyehyung
    Abstract:
    Enabled by continued device scaling in CMOS technology, more and more functions that were previously realized in separate chips are getting integrated on a single chip nowadays. Integration on silicon has opened the door to new portable wireless applications, and initiated a widespread use of these devices in our common...

  • A multi-bit hybrid DSM over full-scale range without feedback DEM

    Creator:
    Kwon, Sunwoo, 1974-
    Abstract:
    Evolution of the mobile communication standards and proliferation of hand-held devices mandate stringent Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) specifications. Among various ADCs, a ∆Σ ADC is best known as a power-efficient ADC when more than 12b is required. However, a conventional discrete-time (DT) ∆Σ Modulator (∆ΣM) is inadequate for low-power wideband applications...

  • 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...

    Abstract:
    The decrease of switching times accompanied by the corresponding increase of clock speeds and data rates, contributes to improve the overall system computational performance. At the same time, they also affect wireless communications due to an increment in the emissions of electromagnetic radiation on the radio bands. In this dissertation...
