  • Linear and nonlinear feedback linearization of radio frequency power amplifiers

    Creator:
    Bogya, Robert I.
    Abstract:
    Radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PA) are the most power consuming components of a mobile communications unit. They are used to convert the DC power from the battery into RF power delivered to the antenna. In a cell phone it becomes very important to use highly efficient power amplifiers, such...

  • Fully-differential current-mode CMOS circuits and applications

    Creator:
    Zele, Rajesh H.
    Abstract:
    With increasing interest in current-mode analogue processing due to its high performance properties such as speed, bandwidth and accuracy compared to voltage-mode processing, new current-mode alternatives to various conventional circuit designs are appearing. In this report, a novel circuit design to construct a fully-differential current-mode operational amplifier ( OP-AMP )...

  • A microarchitecture study of the counterflow pipeline principle

    Creator:
    Janik, Kenneth J.
    Abstract:
    The counterflow pipeline concept was originated by Sproull et. al.[1] to demonstrate the concept of asynchronous circuits. The basic premise is that a simple architecture with only local communication and control and a simple regular structure will result in increased performance. This thesis attempts to analyze the performance of the...

  • COLAN IV, a local area network for communications and control

    Creator:
    Thye, Yong
    Abstract:
    This thesis discusses the design and development of a viable local area network (LAN) which supports both communications and control applications. The emphasis was to develop a practical and cost effective system which offered high performance while utilizing low cost components. System cost was kept low by utilizing a twisted-pair...

  • Efficient power conversion interface circuits for energy harvesting applications

    Creator:
    Le, Triet T.
    Abstract:
    Harvesting energy from the environment for powering micro-power devices have been increasing in popularity. These types of devices can be used in embedded applications or in sensor networks where battery replacement is impractical. In this dissertation, different methods of energy harvesting from the environment are explored as alternative sources of...

  • Analysis and control of power systems using orthogonal expansions

    Creator:
    Fernandes, Stephen Ronald
    Abstract:
    In recent years, considerable attention has been focused on the application of orthogonal expansions to system analysis, parameter identification, model reduction and control system design. However, little research has been done in applying their useful properties to Power System analysis and control. This research attempts to make some inroads in...

  • A P-well GaAs MESFET technology

    Creator:
    Canfield, Philip C.
    Abstract:
    The semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs) has many potential advantages over the more widely used semiconductor silicon (Si). These include higher low field mobility, semi-insulating substrates, a direct band-gap, and greater radiation hardness. All these advantages offer distinct opportunities for implementation of new circuit functions or extension of the operating conditions...

  • An approach for selecting a language for computer hardware description and simulation

    Creator:
    Milden, Mark R.
    Abstract:
    This paper corrects an apparent deficiency in the published information concerning Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) by introducing and discussing an approach for selecting an HDL for use in a design project. Although three classes of HDLs are discussed in this paper, High-Level Languages (HLLs), General Purpose Simulation Languages (GPSLs) and...

  • Adaptive model reference control of highly maneuverable high performance aircraft

    Creator:
    Collins, David C. (David Charles), 1969-
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an adaptive model reference controller for a highly maneuverable high performance aircraft, in particular, a modified F18. An adaptive controller is developed to maneuver an aircraft at a high angle of attack. Thus, the aircraft is required to fly over a highly nonlinear flight regime. The adaptive...

  • Efficient arithmetic using self-timing

    Creator:
    Ramachandran, Ravichandran
    Abstract:
    The recent advances in VLSI technology have facilitated feature shrinking and hence a rapid increase in the levels of integration at the chip level. This increase in the level of integration has brought along with it a host of other constraints, the most crucial being timing management and increased power...
