  • Survey of System Virtualization Techniques

    Creator:
    Rose, Robert
    Abstract:
    This paper discusses two main trends in the development of virtual machine systems: full system virtualization, where an entire hardware architecture is replicated virtually, and paravirtualization, where an operating system is modified so that it can be run concurrently with other operating systems that have also been designed for paravirtualization.

  • Linear and nonlinear feedback linearization of radio frequency power amplifiers

    Creator:
    Bogya, Robert I.
    Abstract:
    Radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PA) are the most power consuming components of a mobile communications unit. They are used to convert the DC power from the battery into RF power delivered to the antenna. In a cell phone it becomes very important to use highly efficient power amplifiers, such...

  • Substrate noise coupling in ring oscillator-based phase locked loops

    Creator:
    Shreeve, Robert
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, the performance degradation of a phase-locked loop due to substrate noise is examined. A new analytical equivalent circuit model for substrate noise coupling is derived for a heavily doped silicon substrate. The model has been validated with measured data from a 0.35 μm CMOS process. Since the...

  • Correlated level shifting as a power-saving method to reduce the effects of finite DC gain and signal swing in opamps

    Creator:
    Gregoire, B. Robert
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents methods to reduce the effects of finite opamp DC gain, output voltage swing limitations in opamps, and component mismatches. The primary contribution of this thesis is a new switched-capacitor method named correlated level shifting (CLS). CLS enables true rail-to-rail operation by storing an estimate of the desired...

  • Evolving character controllers for collision preparation

    Creator:
    Rose, Robert W.
    Abstract:
    Full dynamic control of physically simulated characters is the holy grail of video games and other interactive applications. Recent advances in the field have presented controllers that can handle the balance and fall response after a collision. This thesis addresses the development of a controller that handles the response before...

  • Adaptive, wideband analog-to-digital conversion for convergent communication systems

    Creator:
    Batten, Robert D., 1973-
    Abstract:
    The exponential rate of advances in modern communication devices in the last several years have brought us higher levels of functionality and performance as well as reductions in physical size and power consumption. To continue this rate of advancement, next generation systems require wider bandwidth and higher resolution ADCs. Additionally,...

  • Investigation and comparison of generators for dynamic operation in ocean buoys

    Creator:
    Schacher, Anthony Clinton
    Abstract:
    A significantly untapped renewable energy source exists in the world's oceans. It is estimated that if 0.2% of the ocean's untapped energy could be harnessed, it could provide power sufficient for the entire world. Ocean energy extraction is an old concept, and it is currently seeing the benefit of advancing...

  • Timing jitter and phase noise in electronic oscillators

    Creator:
    Zhang, Chengwei
    Abstract:
    In the first part of this dissertation, low frequency l/f or flicker noise in the frequency range of Hz to kHz has been identified and demonstrated to be described by temperature fluctuations in heat conduction in bipolar transistors operated at higher power densities. This noise phenomenon is not described by...

  • 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...

  • Contact resistance and stability assessment of oxide-based thin film transistors

    Creator:
    Hung, Celia M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on two aspects of oxide-based thin-film transistors (TFTs), contact resistance and instability assessment. First, determination of the contact resistance of indium tin oxide (ITO) on two wide-band gap semiconductors, zinc oxide (ZnO) and indium gallium oxide (IGO), is attempted and the effects of contact resistance on device...
