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 DC-DC converter architecture for low-power, high-resistance thermoelectric generators for use in body-powered designs

Creator:: Miller, Brian A.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a low power DC-DC converter suitable for harvesting energy from high impedance thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for the use in body powered electronics. The chip has been fabricated in a 130nm CMOS technology. To meet the power demands of body powered networks, a novel dual-path architecture capable of...

Mechanically Robust Additively Manufactured Magnetically Coupled Aperture and Patch Microstrip to Rectangular Waveguide Transition

Creator:: Merrill, Scott
Abstract:: Advances in additive manufacturing technologies allow for the rapid, inexpensive manufacturing of microwave circuits. Circuits made using additive manufacturing are comparable in performance to circuits produced circuits produced using conventional methods such as printed circuit board fabrication, thin film deposition, machining, and milling. Very little work has been done in...

Analysis of Penetration and Reserve Requirements when Incorporating Renewable Energy Power Generation in the Bonneville Power Administration Balancing Authority Area

Creator:: Harpool, Scott E.
Abstract:: Interest in renewable energy is on the rise, in both grid-connected operations and research projects. Major types of renewable energy include: wind, solar, wave, tidal, biomass, and geothermal. The majority are variable, non-dispatchable sources, which can have a negative impact on reserve requirements. This study focused on determining the optimal...

Aggregated reserve requirements of geographically diverse renewable portfolios in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Harpool, Scott E.
Abstract:: Increased penetration of renewable energy sources results in higher operating reserve requirements, due to the inherent variability and uncertainty of these resources. Many studies, primarily focusing on wind and solar, have determined that geographic diversity of variable renewables substantially reduces system variability and uncertainty. The Pacific Northwest is well suited...

Renewable Energy in the Pacific Northwest - Technical and Economic Analysis of 100% Renewable Portfolios, including Seasonality Impacts and Potential Applications of Energy Storage

Creator:: Harpool, Scott
Abstract:: Renewable electrical energy sources are relatively easy to integrate at moderate penetrations, utilizing a combination of technical and market methods to increase grid flexibility. However, integrating high renewable portfolios is more challenging, and the optimal combination of resources will vary depending on the features of specific geographic areas. This study...

Concurrent error detection

Creator:: Gorshe, Steven Scott
Abstract:: Concurrent error detection (CED) is the detection of errors or faults in a circuit or data path concurrent with normal operation of that circuit. The general approach for CED is to calculate a check symbol for the inputs to the circuit under operation, predict the check symbol that will result...

Ultra-low power receivers for wireless sensor networks

Creator:: Ayers, James S.
Abstract:: In wireless sensor network applications, low-power operation of the wireless receiver is critical. To address this need an ultra-low power Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) receiver using the super-regenerative architecture is developed. A prototype receiver is built and tested for operation in the 900 MHz ISM band. Lab measurements show...

Dependency speculation in dynamic simultaneous multi-threading

Creator:: Nelson, Jarrod A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to explore dependency speculation in Dynamic Simultaneous Multi-Threading (DSMT). DSMT is a microprocessor architecture which attempts to extract Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) from single-threaded programs at run-time. This is accomplished by running multiple iterations of program loops in parallel. The DSMT architecture was originally...

Design techniques for wideband low-power Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converters

Creator:: Wang, Yan
Abstract:: Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are traditionally used in high quality audio systems, instrumentation and measurement (I&M) and biomedical devices. With the continued downscaling of CMOS technology, they are becoming popular in wideband applications such as wireless and wired communication systems,high-definition television and radar systems. There are two general realizations...
