  • Radiation Detection Module and Radioactive Isotope Identification System

    O Criador:
    Ma, Naixuan
    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...

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

    O Criador:
    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...

  • Network Traffic-Driven Hybrid Learning for Classifying Seen and Unseen IoT Device Types

    O Criador:
    Bao, Jiaqi
    Abstract:
    IoT networks can be viewed as collections of Internet-enabled physical devices and objects, embedded with sensor, actuator, computation, storage and communication components, that are capable of connecting and exchanging data to one another. In recent years, organizations have allowed more and more IoT devices to be connected to their networks,...

  • Adaptive Streaming Methods using Dual Protocols and Reinforcement Learning

    O Criador:
    Gatimu, Kevin
    Abstract:
    The ubiquity of high quality video and proliferation of mobile devices has contributed to an unprecedented rise in video consumption. HTTP, in conjunction with adaptive streaming, has become the de facto mechanism for delivering the vast majority of video as it readily caters to heterogeneous networks and devices. This dissertation...

  • A Microwave Signal Correlator Based on Parametric Pumping of Spin Waves

    O Criador:
    Hansen, Mikkel N.
    Abstract:
    This work demonstrates correlation of microwave signals encoded with 16-bit codes using the parametric interaction of spin waves. Signal processing correlators are devices that compare two signals, such as a reference code and a received code, where the output indicates the similarity between the signals. Correlators are used in communication...

  • Power Efficient Architectures for Low Noise Switched-Capacitor Filters and High Accuracy Analog-to-Digital Converters

    O Criador:
    Payandehnia, Pedram
    Abstract:
    Filters and data converters are key analog-and-mixed-signal (AMS) building blocks in communication systems, such as software-defined radios and internet-of-things. In this dissertation, novel switched-capacitor filter and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit configurations have been explored which are power efficient and are digital scaling friendly. First, a novel switched-capacitor low-pass filter architecture...

  • Power Efficient Architectures for Medium-high Resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters

    O Criador:
    Sadollahi, Mahmoud
    Abstract:
    Analog-to-digital converters are essential components to the portable devices that we are using today. Wireless sensors, body implanted devices, communication devices and so forth require low power ADCs. Therefore achieving higher resolution and bandwidth with lower power consumption is targeted in ADCs design. In this work power efficient ADCs for...

    O Criador:
    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...

  • Position estimation in indoor localization with trilateration

    O Criador:
    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...
