  • Variable sampling compensation of networked control systems with delays using neural networks

    Creator:
    Lopez-Echevarria, Daniel
    Abstract:
    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...

  • 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...

  • A novel linear generator for wave energy applications

    Creator:
    Ernst, Steven George
    Abstract:
    With the increasing effort to identify alternative methods of energy generation, extraction of ocean energy has gathered a large interest. Research and industry have begun considering wave energy as the next new alternative energy. The unique challenges of ocean energy requires a wave energy converter to be both robust and...

  • 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...

  • Model development via delay extraction for the time-domain simulation of lossy transmission lines.

    Creator:
    Blevins, Chris
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents two new approaches for the broadband, time-domain modeling of lossy transmission lines. Each approach is based on an alternative derivation of delay extraction in order to separate the line's linear phase from its attenuation and dispersion. Augmentation networks represent the derived attenuation networks as rational function approximations....

  • Surface-Normal Modulation of Fano Resonances in Metallic Photonic Crystals for Free-Space Optical Interconnects

    Creator:
    Ren, Fanghui
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on the development of ultra-compact optical devices for free-space modulation. We propose a surface-normal modulator using metallic photonic crystals for free-space optical interconnects. The active control of light intensity is achieved by engineering the Fano resonances in metallic photonic crystals. Both thermo-optic modulation and electro-optic modulation of...

  • Analysis and design on low-power multi-Gb/s serial links

    Creator:
    Hu, Kangmin
    Abstract:
    High speed serial links are critical components for addressing the growing demand for I/O bandwidth in next-generation computing applications, such as many-core systems, backplane and optical data communications. Due to continued process scaling and circuit innovations, today's CMOS serial link transceivers can achieve tens of Gb/s per pin. However, most...

  • Low-power high-resolution delta-sigma ADC design techniques

    Creator:
    Wang, Tao
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents a low-power high-resolution delta-sigma ADC. Two new architectural design techniques are proposed to reduce the power dissipation of the ADC. Compared to the conventional active adder, the direct charge transfer (DCT) adder greatly saves power by keeping the feedback factor of the active adder unity. However, the...

  • Noise optimization for low-voltage CMOS audio preamplifier systems

    Creator:
    Brown, Matthew Eugene
    Abstract:
    There is a large and growing market for portable consumer audio products with very small size. As the size of these products is reduced, the area occupied by batteries becomes significant and hence limits the number of batteries to one. In order to build such small products, high levels of...

  • Novel power conditioning circuits for piezoelectric micro power generators

    Creator:
    Han, Jifeng
    Abstract:
    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...
