  • Design considerations for fast-settling operational amplifiers

    Creator:
    Yang, Howard C.
    Abstract:
    The design considerations for fast-settling operational amplifiers (opamps) differ significantly between sampled-data switchedcapacitor (SC) and conventional continuous-time applications. In SC circuits, the shape of the output voltage waveform of an opamp is of no consequence provided that the output settles to within a specified tolerance of its steady-state value prior...

  • Dynamic and Dual Streaming Methods for H.264 Video and Parallel Performance Modeling

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor N.
    Abstract:
    Traditional approaches to streaming H.264 video over a network typically rely on a single method of transport (i.e., reliable or unreliable) and/or use static values for parameters that can have a significant negative impact on the perceptual quality of the received video. This dissertation presents a dynamic method for wireless...

  • Target-based coverage extension of 802.11 MANETs via constrained UAV mobility

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor N.
    Abstract:
    MANETs are known to be useful in situations where mobile nodes need to communicate and coordinate in dynamic environments with no access to fixed network infrastructure. However, connectivity problems can occur when sub-groups within a MANET move out of communication range from one another. The increasingly prolific use of UAVs...

  • LORAN-C receiver position estimation from noisy time-difference data

    Creator:
    Weisshaar, Andreas
    Abstract:
    In order to analyze the accuracy of the navigation system LORAN-C, we have collected time - difference (TD) data from the U.S. west coast chain (9940) at a fixed receiver location (Corvallis, Oregon). The analysis of the TD data shows an unexpected high correlation between the TDs as well as...

  • Design and computer-aided optimization of RF CMOS power amplifiers

    Creator:
    Gupta, Ravi
    Abstract:
    In recent years, there has been an extensive effort to develop low-cost implementations of radio frequency integrated circuits for consumer applications. This thesis is a research effort in the design and implementation of integrated RF CMOS Power Amplifiers (PAs). A significant challenge in the implementation of RF CMOS ICs is...

  • Liquid crystal thermography : a new system for breast cancer detection

    Creator:
    Bichara, Kamal Fouad
    Abstract:
    A liquid crystal thermographic technique was developed for application to several problems in clinical medicine and physiology. The procedure was inexpensive, rapid, simple, versatile and acceptable to patients. Investigators in the past have used cholesteric liquid crystals for thermography but their use was limited to research in the medical field...

  • Adaptive Streaming Methods using Dual Protocols and Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Gatimu, Kevin
    Abstract:
    The ubiquity of high quality video and proliferation of mobile devices has contributed to an unprecedented rise in video consumption. HTTP, in conjunction with adaptive streaming, has become the de facto mechanism for delivering the vast majority of video as it readily caters to heterogeneous networks and devices. This dissertation...

  • Variable linear phase digital filters

    Creator:
    Acuna, Fernando R.
    Abstract:
    Linear phase variable filters that are obtained with a frequency transformation of the form cos(ω) = P(cos(W)) were analyzed, where P is a finite degree polynomial, ω is the prototype frequency and W is the transformed filter frequency. A new transformation of third order is proposed. The new variable filter...

  • Frequency-domain, parameter estimation for a brushless, doubly-fed machine

    Creator:
    Ramchandran, Ashok
    Abstract:
    A Brushless, Doubly Fed Machine (BDFM) attempts to combine the advantages of conventional induction and synchronous types of electrical machines by its unique architecture. The validation of BDFM designs in an actual test environment requires the estimation of the BDFM model parameters from actual experimentation. Accurate values for the parameters...

  • 5th-Order Elliptic LPF Using Passive Charge Compensation Technique (PCC) Design

    Creator:
    Tsai, Cheng H.
    Abstract:
    The passive charge compensation (PCC) technique was introduced for switched capacitor (SC) circuit to increase the slew rate and enhance the linearity performance, as PCC techniques are used on the Delta-Sigma modulator (DSM) in ADC circuitry. The PCC technique of the project was applied to the design of a SC...
