An automated method, requiring the fabrication of a small set of test structures, efficiently extracts the coefficients of Z-parameter based macromodels. The extraction approach has been validated for both heavily and lightly doped substrates and can be applied to a variety of technologies. After the parameters of a macromodel have...
We hypothesize that the extraordinary maneuverability and efficiency of bats in flight are in part due to the compliant nature of their wing structures. We utilize the parameters of bat bones measured by biologists to create a biologically inspired model of a flapping system consisting of a rotating hub actuator...
In this thesis, we investigate the problem of simulating Maxwell's equations in dispersive dielectric media. We begin by explaining the relevance of Maxwell's equations to
21st century problems. We also discuss the previous work on the numerical simulations of
Maxwell's equations. Introductions to Maxwell's equations and the Yee finite difference...
