  • 802.11 Channel Switching for High-Definition Video Streaming

    Creator:
    Sullivan, Erin
    Abstract:
    As screen resolution and video decoding capability have increased, high-definition (HD) video in resolutions as high as 1920 x 1080 is rapidly becoming the standard. Ad-hoc streaming of HD video over 802.11 wireless networks, e.g., streaming from a mobile device to a television, is convenient for users, but is hampered...

  • Plasmonic Nano-Antenna and Modulator for On-Chip Optical Interconnects

    Creator:
    Gao, Qian
    Abstract:
    With the rapid growth of worldwide internet traffic in data centers and clouds, silicon photonics has been utilized to provide enormous data bandwidth and outstanding energy efficiency over electronics. Computing servers and storage servers that are connected by communication links are relying more on optical rather than electrical means mainly...

  • Hierarchical graphical models for activity recognition in videos

    Creator:
    Amer, Mohamed R.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses the problem of recognizing human activities in videos. Our focus is on activities with stochastic structure, where the activities are characterized by variable space-time arrangements of actions, and conducted by a variable number of actors. These activities occur frequently in sports and surveillance videos. They may appear...

  • Efficient Spectrum Sensing and Sharing Techniques for Dynamic Wideband Spectrum Access

    Creator:
    Khalfi, Bassem
    Abstract:
    Besides enabling an enhanced mobile broadband access, fifth-generation (5G) wireless mobile networks are envisioned to support the connectivity of massive, heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Connecting these devices through 5G systems and providing them with their needed data rates require huge amounts of spectrum and power resources, thus calling...

  • Random dopants and low-frequency noise reduction in deep-submicron MOSFET technology

    Creator:
    Miller, Drake A.
    Abstract:
    The future of mixed-signal, memory, and microprocessor technologies are dependent on ever increasing analog and digital integration, higher cell densities, and demand for more processing power. As a result MOSFET device dimensions continue to shrink to meet these demands. A side effect of device scaling is increased variability at each...

  • A comparative study between sinusoidal and squarewave clocking for alleviating the jitter limitation in multi-gigaHertz ADCs

    Creator:
    Kesharwani, Divya
    Abstract:
    Various applications like wireless UWB communication, fast data acquisition systems and digital storage oscilloscopes needs ADCs with instantaneous input signal bandwidth from 0.1-40 GigaHertz range with 6-10 bits of resolution -- a challenging task and an impressive goal to achieve. Flash ADCs have been conventionally employed to achieve these goals...

  • Weak-supervision Time-series Analysis

    Creator:
    You, Zeyu
    Abstract:
    Efficient time-series analysis can impact multiple application domains such as motif discovery in gene analysis or music data, extracting spectro-temporal patterns in acoustic scene analysis, or annotating and classifying electrical bio-signals (such as ECG, EEG, and EMG) for medical applications. Time-series analysis involves a variety of tasks. To predict future...

  • Modeling, Fabrication, and Characterization of Magnetic Thin Films for Integrated Inductor and MRAM Applications

    Creator:
    Buford, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Magnetic thin films have potential to improve devices such as on-chip inductors, and enable new technologies such as magnetic random access memory (MRAM). The use of magnetic cores in on-chip inductors is typically limited to applications well under 1 GHz. At higher frequencies, the performance of the magnetic core is...

  • A statistical inference framework for finding recurring patterns in large data with applications to energy management

    Creator:
    You, Zeyu
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of finding unknown patterns that are recurring across multiple sets. For example, finding multiple objects that are present in multiple images or a short DNA code that is repeated across multiple DNA sequences. We first consider a simple problem of finding a single unknown pattern in...
