  • Duty-cycle controlled switched resistor techniques for continuously tunable, low-voltage circuits

    Creator:
    Kurahashi, Peter
    Abstract:
    A duty-cycle controlled switched resistor is a tunable resistive element that uses pulse width modulation as the method of tuning. This thesis will describe the operation of switched resistors and propose several circuit architectures that are well suited to the use of switched resistors. These architectures include filters, mixers, and...

  • Design of a mini-computer controlled digital integrated circuit tester

    Creator:
    Fasang, Patrick Pad, 1941-
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the thesis is to design, construct, program, and test an automatic integrated circuit test system. The class of integrated circuits tested was restricted to digital integrated circuits. The general concept of testing a digital integrated circuit is based on the truth table of that circuit. A combination...

  • Growth and characterization of zinc ferrite thin films for high frequency applications

    Creator:
    Hu, Jiqing
    Abstract:
    Ferrites have been used for various high frequency applications as bulk materials. These applications, however, are limited to large dimension devices. In this thesis, thin film ferrites were deposited from a low temperature solution-based deposition process that is suitable for micro-scale high frequency applications. The low temperature nature of this...

  • Sensor Interface Circuit Design towards CMOS Scaling

    Creator:
    Liu, Jialin
    Abstract:
    Sensor system plays an important role in connecting everything including human body to the electrical information systems that we have built and that we are going to build, to make the world more intelligent and efficient. One of the key propulsive forces behind these emerging techniques is CMOS scaling that...

  • Hybrid-Meshnet, a local area mesh network with distributed control

    Creator:
    Kang, Cheoul Shin
    Abstract:
    Hybrid-Meshnet is a communication subnet architecture for local area networks (LANs) designed to achieve a high degree of network performance and flexibility. These objectives are achieved by utilizing a dual channel structure. A token ring is used for short or prioritized data transmissions. A complimentary mesh network with arbitrary data...

  • 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...

  • Identifiability-Aware Joint Sparse Error Correction For Robust State Estimation

    Creator:
    Kibria, Sharmin
    Abstract:
    We study joint nonlinear state estimation with multi-period measurement vectors that are potentially corrupted by sparse gross errors. The identifiability-aware approach is proposed to leverage common characteristics of fundamentally identifiable gross errors to enhance error correction performance. First, we derive a necessary rank condition that the sparsity pattern of any...

  • 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...
