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...
The electrical behavior of on-chip interconnects has become a dominant factor in silicon-based high speed, RF, and mixed-signal integrated circuits. In particular, the frequency-dependent loss mechanisms in heavily-doped silicon substrates can have a large influence on the transmission characteristics of on-chip interconnects. To optimize the performance of the integrated circuit,...
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...
In networked control systems (NCS) information or packets usually flow from a
sensor or a set of sensors to a remotely located controller. Then the controller
processes the received information and sends a series of control commands to the
actuators through a communication network which could be either wireless or...
Advanced low power devices promote the development of micro power generators (MPGs) to replace the batteries to power them. Due to the trend in decreasing integrated circuit (IC) supply voltages, power supply designers are facing more and more serious challenges. The objective of this research is to design a power...
Traditionally linear actuator applications are addressed by the use of hydraulic systems. The high maintenance cost and poor reliability will always be the most critical problem in the real applications. Benefited from both the high mechanical advantage of the roll screw and the simple structure of the switched reluctance motor,...
