  • Experimentation of Synchronous and Variable Speed Small Scale Hydropower Systems

    Creator:
    Jackson, Elliott C.
    Abstract:
    Hydropower is the one of the oldest renewable energy technologies and is wrongly thought of today as having little room to grow. The opportunity for new hydropower capacity is immense through both technology advancement and run-of-river new stream reach projects. Despite the age of hydropower, a divide in opinion is...

  • CMOS-Integrated Single-Element Thermal Flow Sensors

    Creator:
    Clocker, Kyle
    Abstract:
    Flow rate sensors for in situ gas or liquid monitoring typically comprise multiple transducer elements, including a heater and one or more temperature sensors to measure the rate of heat energy removal by the flowing fluid. The need for multiple transducer elements limits feasibility of shrinking these sensors to microfluidic...

  • A 5 GHz Wi-Fi Receiver Front End with 4x80 MHz Channels for a High Accuracy Indoor Localization System

    Creator:
    Gray, Kyle L.
    Abstract:
    The ability to accurately locate people and objects indoors will enable opportunities for control and automation of indoor environments. Current indoor localization solutions require dedicated hardware which must be custom tailored to each application. There are large technological, societal, and economic benefits in developing a more general purpose system that...

  • A test fixture and deembedding procedure for high-frequency substrate characterization

    Creator:
    Webb, Kyle M.
    Abstract:
    At frequencies exceeding 1-2 GHz, the substrate network models used in substrate coupling simulation must account for the reactive nature of the substrate. Unlike at low frequencies, where the purely resistive substrate models can be validated through DC resistance measurements, these high-frequency models, comprising reactive components, must be validated through...

  • Charging Analysis of Ground Support Vehicles in an Electrified Airport

    Creator:
    Gulan, Kyle S.
    Abstract:
    While electrification is currently one of the largest trends in the automotive world, other related industries are also evaluating electrification opportunities as a means to reduce environmental impact, emissions, and noise pollution. One such sector is the aviation industry. While it is generally accepted that all-electric aircraft are not a...

  • Low cost, short wavelenght fiber Bragg grating strain sensor systems

    Creator:
    Vaughan, Lira
    Abstract:
    Fiber Bragg grating sensors have been constantly researched for the last ten years and have finally begun to find use in the commercial market. However, one of the major factors limiting their widespread use is their system cost. Their lightweight, flexibility, electromagnetic immunity, and small size make fiber Bragg grating...

  • Power Efficient Hybrid Architecture for High Resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters

    Creator:
    Zhang, Hui
    Abstract:
    Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are the key building block for sensor applications, such as wireless communications and digital electronics. These applications require ADCs to have medium to high accuracy (normally from 10-14 bits) and relatively low signal bandwidth (ranging from 100Hz-150kHz). Since these applications are often powered by batteries, high power...

  • An adiabatic approach to analysis of time inhomogeneous Markov chains : a queueing policy application

    Creator:
    Zacharias, Leena
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, convergence of time inhomogeneous Markov chains is studied using an adiabatic approach. The adiabatic framework considers slowly changing systems and the adiabatic time quantifies the time required for the change such that the final state of the system is close to some equilibrium state. This approach is...

  • A comparison of substrate noise coupling in heavily doped and lightly doped substrates for mixed-signal circuits

    Creator:
    Ayers, James S.
    Abstract:
    An analysis of substrate noise coupling in mixed-signal circuits has been performed in the TSMC 0.25 [mu]m lightly doped and heavily doped CMOS processes. Methods to minimize noise coupling in both the chip design and board design phases are presented along with techniques for accurate circuit simulation of noise coupling....

  • Test fixture characterization for high-frequency silicon substrate parasitic extraction

    Creator:
    Tabalujan, Andrew R.
    Abstract:
    At frequencies exceeding 1-2 GHz, the reactive nature of a silicon substrate must be accounted in the substrate network models used in substrate coupling simulation. High-frequency substrate models, containing reactive components, must be validated through high-frequency network analyzer measurements. Prior fabricated test fixtures have been modified to enable high-frequency (up...
