Sizing and Performance of the Pendulum Power Take-Off Wave Energy Converter: Modularity and Chaotic Behavior

Creator:: Dizon, Chris
Abstract:: Multiple wave energy converter (WEC) archetypes exist with varying power take-off (PTO) designs in the attempt to maximize ocean energy harnessed and converted into useful energy. The pendulum PTO is popular for its simple, yet robust functionality due to its internally located components and simple operation. Additionally, this PTO does...

Model development via delay extraction for the time-domain simulation of lossy transmission lines.

Creator:: Blevins, Chris
Abstract:: This thesis presents two new approaches for the broadband, time-domain modeling of lossy transmission lines. Each approach is based on an alternative derivation of delay extraction in order to separate the line's linear phase from its attenuation and dispersion. Augmentation networks represent the derived attenuation networks as rational function approximations....

Channel Estimation in TDD MU-MIMO Systems using Sub-Linear Sparse Signal Recovery Algorithms

Creator:: Barry, David G.
Abstract:: Massive Multiple-User Miltiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) wireless communication systems incorporate promising advanced strong technologies for upcoming 5G communications. To obtain some of the high spectrum and energy e ciencies bonuses brought by MU-MIMO systems, the ability to obtain Channel State information, especially on the receiver side (CSI), is important. To minimize...

A comparison of two types of zero-crossing FM demodulators for wireless receivers

Creator:: McNeal, Jeff D.
Abstract:: A comparison of two novel demodulators. The first is a basic zero crossing demodulator, as introduced by Beards. The second is an approach proposed by Hovin. The two demodulators are compared to each other and to the conventional method of demodulation.

Computing Substation Fragility as a Function of Seismic Component Failure

Creator:: Stark, William D.
Abstract:: The electrical grid of the Western Interconnection is vulnerable to earthquake damage, especially large-magnitude megathrust events, due to the unique seismic profile of the region. However, the size of the Western Interconnection makes it difficult to model seismic failure in electrical substations to the level of detail necessary to improve...

Assessment of Barrier Heights between ZrCuAlNi Amorphous Metal and SiO₂, Al₂O₃, HfO₂, and ZrO₂ using Internal Photoemission Spectroscopy

Creator:: Klarr, Tyler D.
Abstract:: As scaling of silicon (Si) based devices approaches fundamental limits, thin film metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel diodes are attracting interest due to their potential for high speed operation. Because operation of these devices is based on tunneling, electrode / interfacial roughness is critical. Recently, it was shown that combining ultra-smooth bottom...

A novel method for zinc oxide nanowire sensor fabrication

Creator:: Pelatt, Brian D.
Abstract:: Interest in nanomaterials is motivated partly by their potential for sensor arrays to detect different gases. Nanowires in particular are of interest because their high surface-to-volume ratio promises the possibility of high sensitivity. However, because of their discrete quasi-one-dimensional geometry, electrical integration of nanowires into photolithographically defined devices and circuits...

Atomic solid state energy scale applied to novel thin-film solar absorbers

Creator:: Pelatt, Brian D.
Abstract:: The atomic solid state energy (SSE) scale is introduced as a tool for inorganic materials design. The SSE scale is obtained by assessing an average electron affinity (EA) (for a cation) or an average ionization potential (IP) (for an anion) for each atom using data from compounds having that specific...

Ultra-low energy digital logic controller design for wireless sensor networks

Creator:: Meliza, Stephen W.
Abstract:: Low energy design techniques for digital circuits are examined to determine their suitability for use in a digital logic controller for wireless sensor network nodes. Transistor level simulations are used to evaluate the techniques and those demonstrating an energy reduction are used to implement a digital logic controller. The digital...
