  • Position estimation in indoor localization with trilateration

    Creator:
    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...

  • 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)....

  • Fast queuing policies via convex relaxation

    Creator:
    Nguyen-Huu, Duong
    Abstract:
    Traditionally, networking protocol designs have placed much emphasis on point-to-point reliability and efficiency. With the recent rise of mobile and multimedia applications, other considerations such as power consumption and/or Quality of Service (QoS) are becoming increasingly important factors in designing network protocols. As such, we present a new flexible framework...

  • Modeling and analysis of spur structure of digital-to-time conversion based frequency synthesizers

    Creator:
    Talwalkar, Sumit A.
    Abstract:
    Frequency synthesizers are critical components of all communication systems. This thesis considers the issue of undesirable frequency spurs of a relatively recent type of frequency synthesis architecture called digital-to-time conversion (DTC). The DTC-based frequency synthesis architecture has important performance benefits over older frequency synthesizers, such as fast frequency switching, large...

  • Understanding the ultra-wideband channel within a computer chassis

    Creator:
    Redfield, Stephen J.
    Abstract:
    Recent developments in computing technology have generated a demand for more streamlined and effective test systems. By replacing traditional in-chassis wired interconnects with a broadcast wireless system, fault detection and error susceptibility will drastically improve, input/output capabilities will expand, and routing complexity will decrease. Ultra-wideband impulse radio's (UWB-IR) characteristic multipath-immunity...
