  • A remotely operated, autonomous wave energy converter system

    Creator:
    Lewis, Timothy M.
    Abstract:
    The potential for electric energy generation from ocean waves is substantial and much research is being conducted on the conversion process as a renewable, grid-connected, power source. Some of the same attributes that make wave energy harvesting attractive as a grid-connected source also make it attractive as a remote, or...

  • Position estimation in indoor localization system

    Creator:
    Qiao, Tianzhu
    Abstract:
    Indoor positioning systems can be used for many applications such as indoor navigation,emergence response, asset monitoring, and shopper assistance. Due to the weak received signal and multipath reflection, the global positioning system (GPS) generally does not work in indoor environments. There are a variety of radio frequency (RF) signals and...

  • Identifiability-Aware Joint Sparse Error Correction For Robust State Estimation

    Creator:
    Kibria, Sharmin
    Abstract:
    We study joint nonlinear state estimation with multi-period measurement vectors that are potentially corrupted by sparse gross errors. The identifiability-aware approach is proposed to leverage common characteristics of fundamentally identifiable gross errors to enhance error correction performance. First, we derive a necessary rank condition that the sparsity pattern of any...

  • Compensation method of the excess loop delay in continuous-time delta-sigma ADCs based on model matching approach

    Creator:
    Guo, Jia
    Abstract:
    Continues-Time (CT) Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) have one important constrain, namely the excess loop delay. Most previous excess lop delay compensation methods need to know the exact value of the excess loop delay in advance. However, the value of the excess loop delay is a uniformly distribution random variable....

  • Efficient detection and scheduling for MIMO-OFDM systems

    Creator:
    Liu, Wei
    Abstract:
    Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas can be exploited to provide high data rate using a limited bandwidth through multiplexing gain. MIMO combined with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) could potentially provide high data rate and high spectral efficiency in frequency-selective fading channels. MIMO-OFDM technology has been widely employed in modern communication...

  • Linearity enhancement techniques for data converters

    Creator:
    Cao, Jinzhou
    Abstract:
    Data converters are essential interface circuits between the analog world that people live in and the digital processors that people live with. Linearity, which often is a tradeoff against other performance criteria, is one of the major performance demands from applications for both analog-to-digital converts (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC)....

  • Micropower incremental analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Chen, Chia-Hung
    Abstract:
    Incremental ADCs (IADCs) have many advantages for low-frequency high-accuracy data conversion—they are easy to multiplex between channels, need simpler digital decimation filter, and allow extended counting with a Nyquist-rate ADC. A single-loop incremental ADC was designed and fabricated in 90 nm for a biosensor interface circuit. It incorporates one integrator,...

  • High efficiency wideband low-power delta-sigma modulators

    Creator:
    Lee, Sang Hyeon
    Abstract:
    Delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters traditionally have been used for low speed, high resolution applications such as measurements, sensors, voice and audio systems. Through continued device scaling in CMOS technology and architectural and circuit level design innovations, they have even become popular for wideband, high dynamic range applications such as wired and...

  • Data processing for anomaly detection in web-based applications

    Creator:
    Gaarudapuram Sriraghavan, Rajagopal
    Abstract:
    Web applications are popular attack targets. Misuse detection systems use signature databases to detect known attacks. However, it is difficult to keep the database up to date with the rate of discovery of vulnerabilities. They also cannot detect zero-day attacks. By contrast, anomaly detection systems learn the normal behavior of...

  • Design techniques for low power high speed successive approximation analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Lin, Jiaming
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents two high-speed pipeline successive approximation analog-to-digital converters (SAR ADCs). Capacitive DACs and resistive DACs are utilized in these two pipeline SAR ADCs, respectively. The pipeline SAR ADC with capacitive DACs can save 50% switching power compared with other time-interleaved SAR ADCs since the total capacitance of the...
