  • Position estimation in indoor localization with trilateration

    Creator:
    Su, Zhenqiang
    Abstract:
    Triangulateration uses geometric distance to estimate the location of user by employing techniques like received signal strength (RSS), time-of-arrival (TOA), time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) and image processing. Radio frequency (RF) signal positioning using TOA or TDOA techniques generally requires timing synchronization of the anchors and/or the anchors and targets. If the desired...

  • 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...

  • Layout dependent and bias independent scalable substrate model for RF MOSFETs

    Creator:
    Suravarapu, Ravikanth
    Abstract:
    The dependence of the substrate resistance, R[subscript sub], for MOS transistor RF modeling on transistor biasing and layout is studied from device simulations and measurements. Though R[subscript sub] is found to be bias dependent, the error incurred by assuming a constant value equal to the DC resistance is not significant....

  • 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...

  • Data driven optimization in SAR ADC

    Creator:
    Leung, Jerry
    Abstract:
    Recent publications show that successive approximation register (SAR) analog to digital converters (ADC) are capable of achieving high efficiency over other ADC topologies. Furthermore, techniques have been adopted to process signals with low activity periods, such as biomedical and industrial sensors. Prior work used least- significant bit first quantization (LSBFQ)...

  • Comparison and impact of substrate noise due to clocked and clockless circuitry

    Creator:
    Le, Jim K.
    Abstract:
    Delay insensitive asynchronous circuitry provides significant advantages with respect to substrate noise due to localized switching. The differences between the substrate noise from NULL Convention Logic (NCL) and traditional Clocked Boolean Logic (CBL) are described and analyzed based on measured results. A test chip fabricated in the TSMC 0.25 um...

  • 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...

  • 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....

    Abstract:
    Radiation is part of our life. Most people may know a radioactive source is very dangerous. But there are very few situations people are exposed to uncontrolled radionuclides above background. A radioactive source can emit gamma rays which are the highest energy type in electromagnetic radiation.[2] Gamma rays are like...

  • 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...
