  • Low-power dynamic CMOS circuits in high-performance memory arrays

    Creator:
    Patwary, Md. Ataur R.
    Abstract:
    Dynamic CMOS circuits are commonly used in high-performance memory arrays to implement wide-NOR logic functions for their read and search operations. This is because dynamic circuits have significantly higher speed and lower area compared to static circuits for performing similar operations. Register File (RF) arrays are located at the top...

  • 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...

  • Adaptive, wideband analog-to-digital conversion for convergent communication systems

    Creator:
    Batten, Robert D., 1973-
    Abstract:
    The exponential rate of advances in modern communication devices in the last several years have brought us higher levels of functionality and performance as well as reductions in physical size and power consumption. To continue this rate of advancement, next generation systems require wider bandwidth and higher resolution ADCs. Additionally,...

  • 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...

  • Prototyping a triple-layer phoswich detection system

    Creator:
    Duncan, Christopher L.
    Abstract:
    Multi-layer optically coupled scintillation based radiation detectors, known as phoswich detectors, have rapidly evolved in recent years. During the same time, digital signal processing has improved radiation discrimination accuracy and enhanced reliability, while reducing complexity and size of traditional analog signal processing methods. A new generation of high-speed radiation detectors...

  • High-performance delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    da Silva, Jose Barreiro
    Abstract:
    Multi-stage delta-sigma (ΔΣ) architectures, commonly known as MASH, are the preferred choice for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) used in broadband communication applications, where high-resolution (above 14 bits) and high-bandwidth (several MHz) performances are required. Current state-of-the-art designs are capable of as much as 5-MS/s output data rates with 90-dB SNR. However,...

  • Dynamic Methods to Improve Streaming of H.264 HD Video Over 802.11 Wireless Networks

    Creator:
    Sinky, Mohammed H.
    Abstract:
    Wireless High Definition Video Transmission (WHDVT) over 802.11-based networks enjoys widespread deployment among today's multimedia solutions. Examples include Intel® Wireless Display and Apple Airplay®, to name a few. In these systems, peer-to-peer networks are established over which H.264-encoded video is transported wirelessly to be decoded and played back at the...

  • Multi-dimensional parametric estimation: two-dimensional sharpening by predictive bandwidth extrapolation and fast algorithms for three dimensional autoregressive estimation

    Creator:
    Liew, Ji Seok
    Abstract:
    Achieving sharpened (enhanced detail) features of a multi-dimensional data source using the linear prediction (LP) bandwidth extrapolation (BWE) technique in the transform domain is the main objective of this research. The evolution of sensor technology has provided acquisition scenarios in which the data format is inherently multi-dimensional, including hyperspectral imaging...

  • A Two-element CZT-based Radioxenon Detection System for Nuclear Weapon Test Monitoring

    Creator:
    Ranjbar, Lily
    Abstract:
    Detection of xenon radioisotopes (radioxenons) has proven to be an important method for detecting nuclear explosions and is particularly well suited for detecting undeclared underground testing. The radioxenon isotopes ¹³¹mXe (t₁/₂ = 11.934 d), ¹³³mXe (t₁/₂ = 2.19 d), ¹³³Xe (t₁/₂ = 5.243 d) and ¹³⁵Xe (t₁/₂ = 9.14 h)...
