  • Linearizing techniques for voltage controlled oscillator based analog to digital converters

    Creator:
    Rao, Sachin B.
    Abstract:
    Voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based ADC is an important class of time-domain ADC that has gained widespread acceptance due to their several desirable properties. VCO-based ADCs behave like an open-loop continuous time ΔΣ modulator and achieve excellent resolution by first order noise shaping the quantization error. However, the SNDR of...

  • Design techniques for high efficiency high current LED drivers

    Creator:
    Rao, Sachin B.
    Abstract:
    Solid-state based lighting offers a number of advantages such as long life, high efficiency and compactness compared to a conventional halogen tube based lighting. Due to these advantages they are being increasingly used in a variety of lighting applications including portable devices, home, and automotive lighting. Consequently, there has been...

  • A direct-drive wave energy converter with contactless force transmission system

    Creator:
    Agamloh, Emmanuel B.
    Abstract:
    Commonly proposed ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) use inefficient and maintenance demanding intermediate hydraulic and pneumatic systems. We propose a novel rotary direct-drive OWEC that eliminates these intermediate stages. The new device employs a contactless force transmission system (CFTS) comprising a “piston” and a “cylinder” and a ball screw to...

  • Field theoretic analysis of a class of planar microwave and opto-electronic structures

    Creator:
    Hahm, Yeon-Chang
    Abstract:
    With increasing operating frequencies in CMOS RF/microwave integrated circuits, the performance of on-chip interconnects is becoming significantly affected by the lossy substrate. It is the purpose of the first part of this thesis to develop a rigorous field theoretic analysis approach for efficient characterization of single and multiple coupled interconnects...

  • Power Electric System Load and Generation Forecasting via ARMA, ARIMA, and K-Medoids Methods for Grid Expansion Purposes: A Comparison

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Zachery D.
    Abstract:
    The electric power grids of countries across the globe rely on load and generation forecasting to know when, where, and how much resources need to be dispatched to sustain proper grid operation. Because of this, forecasting needs to be highly accurate to avoid unnecessary resource dispatch which can be costly....

  • A model of the likelihood of stimulation or tolerance of the B lymphocyte

    Creator:
    Peterson, Patricia A.
    Abstract:
    The B lymphocyte is the immune cell responsible for the production of antibodies. It has receptor molecules on its surface which bind to a molecule known as an antigen. The antigen either stimulates the cell to produce antibodies or tolerizes it so that it is unable to produce antibodies. It...

  • Evaluation of the stray load losses for a three-phase induction motor

    Creator:
    Nagornyy, Aleksandr S.
    Abstract:
    The evaluation of the stray-load losses in induction motors is an important part of the efficiency estimation process. However, stray-load losses have several components which are difficult to isolate and calculate. Consequently, they are more readily determined by test. IEEE Standard 112-1996 recommends the testing of electrical induction motors at...

  • New configurations of bandpass filters in single and multilayer environment

    Creator:
    Gururajan, Kala
    Abstract:
    Mobile and telecommunication industry has experienced tremendous growth in the recent past. Miniaturization and increased functionality have become necessary for all passive components in the system. Bandpass filters are critical passive components in any communication system and the existing designs in the crucial 1-10 GHz bandwidth suffer many drawbacks. For...

  • Analysis and applications of layered multiconductor coupled slot and strip-slot structures

    Creator:
    Luo, Sifen
    Abstract:
    Layered multiconductor coupled slot and strip-slot structures are characterized by introducing the full-wave modal analysis as well as the quasi-TEM spectral domain technique. In the modal analysis, the electric and magnetic fields are constructed in terms of modal fields in different regions. Application of the boundary conditions at interfaces for...

    Abstract:
    The propagation characteristics of a new coupled fin line structure, with asymetrical, rectangular, top and bottom housings, is evaluated by using the modal analysis technique. The boundary Green's function of the structure, relating the surface currents to the electric fields is derived by using this technique. The propagation characteristics, i.e....
