  • Design and implementation of configuration modules in a programmable hardware-assisted cache emulator (PHA$E)

    Creator:
    Chalainanont, Nirut
    Abstract:
    Memory hierarchy design is becoming more important as the speed gap be- tween processor and memory continues to grow. Investigations of memory perfor- mance have typically been conducted using trace-driven emulation, which could take tremendous resources (e.g. long emulation time, large storage requirements for traces, and high overall cost). Recent...

  • Adaptive digital transceiver for rayleigh fading channels

    Creator:
    Hughes, Jeffery R.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an adaptive modulation scheme using a Walsh-code modulator. The Walsh-code modulator consists of a dynamic demultiplexer and predetermined sets of orthogonal Walsh-Hadamard codes. The demultiplexer can demultiplex the input bit stream into a maximum of thirty-two sub-streams. The Walsh- Hadamard codes are used to spread the spectrum...

  • A tunable duty-cycle-controlled switched-R-MOSFET-C CMOS filter for low-voltage and high-linearity applications

    Creator:
    Xiao, Ying
    Abstract:
    A novel switched-R-MOSFET-C input branch is proposed for low-voltage and high-linearity applications. The tunability is achieved by varying the clock duty cycle using an automatic tuning circuit. This tuning method does not involve a change in gate voltage, and is therefore particularly suitable for low-voltage applications. The advantages of the...

  • Test fixture characterization for high-frequency silicon substrate parasitic extraction

    Creator:
    Tabalujan, Andrew R.
    Abstract:
    At frequencies exceeding 1-2 GHz, the reactive nature of a silicon substrate must be accounted in the substrate network models used in substrate coupling simulation. High-frequency substrate models, containing reactive components, must be validated through high-frequency network analyzer measurements. Prior fabricated test fixtures have been modified to enable high-frequency (up...

  • Enhanced inverse synthetic aperture radar imagery using 2-D spectral estimation

    Creator:
    Ohm, David R.
    Abstract:
    This research focused on the use of classical and modern two-dimensional spectral estimation techniques for enhancing inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imagery. 2-D Classical spectral estimation methods and 2-D modern parametric and non-parametric spectral estimation methods are applied to simulated and real data sets in order to achieve both range...

  • Kinematic and cyclostationary parameter estimation for co-channel emitter location applications

    Creator:
    Ohm, David R.
    Abstract:
    The problem of locating a signal source, or an emitter, has many civilian and military applications, such as communication regulations enforcement, military reconnaissance, and search-and-rescue operations. Many of the most widely used emitter location methods rely on the accurate and robust estimation of the differential time delay, or time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA),...

  • A force control algorithm for a wave energy linear test bed

    Creator:
    Henshaw, Nathan R.
    Abstract:
    Researchers at Oregon State University, focusing on the development of ocean wave energy converters, have designed and installed a unique linear test bed to aid in the characterization of these converters. Under the original control scheme, the linear test bed follows a position profile and is limited in its ability...

  • Loss tangent and dielectric constant of solder mask materials measured with split-post dielectric resonators

    Creator:
    Barnes, Guy E.
    Abstract:
    A constant push from society for more information with richer content simultaneously available at the consumers fingertips have pushed the speeds of electronics to extremes. Bus lines on circuit boards responsible for data communication are being pushed to their limit to meet these demands. As data busses are pushed to...

  • Ultra low capacitance RFIC probe

    Creator:
    Jacob, Michael E.
    Abstract:
    In Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) or high frequency digital ICs, there is a demand to probe the internal nodes for testing. The ultra low capacitance RFIC probe presented in his work is a flexible tool for these applications. The probe utilizes the coupling between a tungsten needle and the...

    Creator:
    Presley, Rick E.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on two aspects of transparent electronics, SnO₂ transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs) and transparent circuits. Both depletion- and enhancement-mode SnO₂ TTFTs are realized. The maximum effective mobility for the depletion- and enhancement-mode devices are 2 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹ and 0.8 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹, respectively. A variety of techniques to decrease the carrier...
