  • Single-level dynamic register caching architecture for high-performance superscalar processors

    Creator:
    Liebert, John A.
    Abstract:
    The amount of instruction level parallelism (ILP) that can be exploited depends greatly on the size of the instruction window and the number of in-flight instructions the processor can support. However, this requires a register file with a large set of physical registers for renaming and multiple ports to provide...

  • 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...

  • Modified VLSI designs for error correction codes

    Creator:
    Chen, Lupin
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, error correction codes have become an integral part in almost all the modern digital communication and storage systems. With the continuously increasing demands for higher speed and lower power communication systems, efficient VLSI implementations of those error correction codes have great importance for practical applications. In this thesis, several...

  • 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...

  • Development of a CZT-Silicon Detection System in Support of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty

    Creator:
    Alhawsawi, Abdulsalam M.
    Abstract:
    The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) bans all nuclear explosion tests for military or civilian purposes. The International Monitoring System (IMS) was established to verify compliance with the treaty. It consists of several monitoring stations that detect: seismic activities, hydrocoustic activities, infrasound waves, and radionuclide particles and noble gases. Radioxenon detection...

  • RF and Millimeter-wave Techniques to Improve Scalability and Efficiency of Digital Beamforming Arrays

    Creator:
    Johnson, Manoj
    Abstract:
    Spectrum overcrowding, ever increasing demand for high data rate and increased mobility requirements are three major challenges 5G-technology is trying to address. In this thesis I start with a RF front-end technique that deals with blocker interference arising from spectrum overcrowding both across frequency bands and within the same frequency...

  • 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...

  • Semi-digital PLL architecture for ultra low bandwidth applications

    Creator:
    George, Edmond
    Abstract:
    Phase Locked Loops(PLLs) are an integral part of almost every electronic system. Systems involving low frequency clocks often require PLLs with low bandwidth. The area occupied by the large loop filter capacitor and resistor in a low bandwidth PLL design makes the realization of traditional charge-pump PLL architecture impractical on...

  • Growth and characterization of zinc ferrite thin films for high frequency applications

    Creator:
    Hu, Jiqing
    Abstract:
    Ferrites have been used for various high frequency applications as bulk materials. These applications, however, are limited to large dimension devices. In this thesis, thin film ferrites were deposited from a low temperature solution-based deposition process that is suitable for micro-scale high frequency applications. The low temperature nature of this...

    Ahn, Gil Cho
    Abstract:
    With the ever-increasing demand for portable devices used in applications such as wireless communication, mobile computing, consumer electronics, etc., the scaling of the CMOS process to deep submicron dimensions becomes more important to achieve low-cost, low-power and high-performance digital systems. However, this downscaling also requires similar shrinking of the supply...
