  • 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...

  • Power reduction of MPEG video decoding for mobile multimedia systems

    Creator:
    Lewis, James M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to explore methods which can reduce the power dissipation of a mobile system while decoding MPEG video. MPEG decoding is a microprocessor intensive process that makes heavy use of both the L1 and L2 caches as well as main memory. The heavy load placed...

  • 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...

  • Design techniques for wideband low-power Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Wang, Yan
    Abstract:
    Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are traditionally used in high quality audio systems, instrumentation and measurement (I&M) and biomedical devices. With the continued downscaling of CMOS technology, they are becoming popular in wideband applications such as wireless and wired communication systems,high-definition television and radar systems. There are two general realizations...

  • Adaptive broadband wireless interference mitigation architecture applying higher order statistics algorithm for computer platform

    Creator:
    Wang, Qiwei
    Abstract:
    The broadband wireless interference in a computer platform is resulted by multiple electro-magnetic emission sources. This non-Gaussian interference is proved to be double-sided K-distributed in previous research. With the limitation of transmission power and dimension of the device, interference mitigation is an efficient way to improve received signal bit error...

  • 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...

  • Transmission and Combining for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Systems

    Creator:
    Whang, Younghoon
    Abstract:
    Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) schemes combine packet retransmission with forward error correction to ensure a reliable communications. In multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) systems, interference cancellation (IC) detection is widely used where the detection and cancellation steps of the simultaneously transmitted data streams occur. In principle, the signal stream estimated...

  • 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....

  • 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...

  • A probabilistic framework and algorithms for modeling and analyzing multi-instance data

    Creator:
    Behmardi, Behrouz
    Abstract:
    Multi-instance data, in which each object (e.g., a document) is a collection of instances (e.g., word), are widespread in machine learning, signal processing, computer vision, bioinformatic, music, and social sciences. Existing probabilistic models, e.g., latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), probabilistic latent semantic indexing (pLSI), and discrete component analysis (DCA), have been...
