  • Analysis and modeling of single-ended and differential spiral inductors in silicon-based RFICs

    Creator:
    Watson, Adam C.
    Abstract:
    A new comprehensive wide-band compact modeling methodology for single-ended spiral inductors and differential spiral inductors is presented. The new modeling methodology creates an equivalent circuit model consisting of frequency-independent circuit elements for use in circuit simulators. A fast automated extraction procedure is developed for determining the circuit element values from...

  • Synchronization in a CMOS technology

    Creator:
    Flannagan, Stephen T.
    Abstract:
    The problem of synchronization arises in the interaction among digital systems not sharing a common clock reference. The reliability of synchronizers is related to metastable operation of bistable elements. Because of its subtle nature, the phenomenon until recently was not widely researched. However, the literature now contains a sound theoretical...

  • Design techniques for high efficiency LED drivers

    Creator:
    Bang, Sarvesh Jagdish
    Abstract:
    The increasing popularity of cellular phones with integrated cameras in the recent past has led to major improvements in its image quality. However, integration of new features, such as mobile email, video streaming, MP3 etc. tend to put the limitation on image quality as camera phone designers struggle to manage...

  • Novel structures for high-speed delta-sigma data converters

    Creator:
    Chae, Jeong Seok
    Abstract:
    As CMOS processes keep scaling down devices, the maximum operating frequencies of CMOS devices increase, and hence circuits can process very wide band signals. Moreover, the small physical dimensions of transistors allow the placing of many more blocks into a single chip, including highly accurate analog blocks and complicated digital...

  • Paths to Innovation: How Businesses Achieve Competitive Advantage

    Creator:
    Oster, Dylan
    Abstract:
    To detail common paths followed by companies to produce innovative products, I reviewed existing literature and conducted several semi-structured interviews with a variety of people from different companies and fields. Based on this research, I found that most (but not all) innovative products follow a few general paths. These paths...

  • New Detection Methods for Transmission at Faster-Than-Nyquist Rates Using Quasi-Orthogonal Sequences

    Creator:
    Fang, Zhou
    Abstract:
    Direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) was initially used for anti-jamming in military applications and was later developed in other commercial applications. Walsh codes, which are a set of mutually orthogonal codes, are one type of the spreading codes used in DSSS systems. For any spreading codes of length N, these...

  • Design, fabrication, and testing of inhomogeneous dielectrics

    Creator:
    Lim, Sungkyoo
    Abstract:
    In this thesis the concept of inhomogeneous dielectrics is demonstrated for various optical coating applications. Compositionally-varying silicon oxynitride (SiON) dielectric layers, with the refractive index varying as a function of position, are grown by computer-controlled plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using silane, nitrogen, and nitrous oxide reactant gases. Compositionally graded...

  • Concurrent error detection

    Creator:
    Gorshe, Steven Scott
    Abstract:
    Concurrent error detection (CED) is the detection of errors or faults in a circuit or data path concurrent with normal operation of that circuit. The general approach for CED is to calculate a check symbol for the inputs to the circuit under operation, predict the check symbol that will result...

  • 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...

  • Analysis and modeling of multi-mode effects in coplanar waveguide bends

    Creator:
    Senguttuvan, Rajarajan
    Abstract:
    A novel method for modeling bends in coplanar waveguides (CPWs) is described. The CPW can be viewed as a pair of parallel coupled quasi-slot lines. Bends in the CPW are modeled as a non-uniform coupled line system in terms of their even- and odd- mode characteristics. This modeling approach is...
