  • Design techniques for low-voltage and low-power analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Ahn, Gil Cho
    Abstract:
    With the ever-increasing demand for portable devices used in applications such as wireless communication, mobile computing, consumer electronics, etc., the scaling of the CMOS process to deep submicron dimensions becomes more important to achieve low-cost, low-power and high-performance digital systems. However, this downscaling also requires similar shrinking of the supply...

  • Modeling and characterization of hemt devices

    Creator:
    Chang, Chujyh
    Abstract:
    Different gate length (0.5 μm 16 μm) Al GaAs/GaAs and AIGaAs /InGaAs High Electron Mobility Transistors were electrically characterized in order to compare the room temperature DC device performance with one-dimensional device models. Model parameters such as the channel mobility and source/drain series resistances are extracted from independent measurement of...

  • Growing digital circuits : logic synthesis and minimization with genetic operators

    Creator:
    Dill, Karen M.
    Abstract:
    This research applies the biologically inspired, artificial evolutionary processes of Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming to digital hardware circuit synthesis and minimization. In this new application, three approaches are taken to genetic hardware development. First, as a method for logic synthesis, Genetic Programming is applied to the building of logic...

  • Generalized radix design techniques for low-power, low voltage pipelined and cyclic analog-digital converters

    Creator:
    Sharma, Vivek
    Abstract:
    This thesis proposes a novel technique for the design of pipelined and cyclic ADCs utilizing generalized radix gain stages. Several models have been proposed for the optimization of high performance pipelined ADCs by various researchers. This work builds upon them, using a simple but accurate model to estimate the optimal...

  • Sliding-mode control of the super maneuverable aircraft

    Creator:
    Koo, Chang Sul
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, A nonlinear methodology for the control of the highly maneuverable, high performance aircraft HARV (F-18) is studied by using sliding-mode control (SMC). This control law, which takes a continuous function when the input constraints are not considered, satisfies the reachability condition by which concerned states are driven...

  • 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...

  • OP-AMP free SC biquad LPF and delta-sigma ADC

    Creator:
    Yoo, Kiseok
    Abstract:
    The objective of this work is to explore the feasibility of replacing conventional op-amps with inverters in switched-capacitor (SC) circuits. In order to verify the idea, a low-pass filter (LPF) and a second-order delta-sigma (∆Σ) analog-todigital converter (ADC) are designed in the 0.5-m CMOS technology. The low-pass filter structure is...

  • Design of a variable gain, high linearity, low power baseband filter for WLAN transmitters

    Creator:
    Ranganathan, Sachin
    Abstract:
    A variable gain, high linearity, low power baseband filter for WLAN applications is implemented in a 1.5 V 3 V 0.15 μm CMOS process. This fourth-order low-pass filter, which is introduced in the transmit channel as a reconstruction filter between the D/A converter and the mixer, has a measured cut-off...
