  • Quasi-TEM and full wave numerical methods for the characterization on microstrip discontinuities

    Creator:
    Hill, Achim
    Abstract:
    Static and dynamic numerical techniques which are suited for the analysis and simulation of various planar microstrip components encountered in hybrid and monolithic microwave integrated circuits are presented. The static analysis makes use of an excess source formulation in conjunction with an efficient mathematical treatment to extract the discontinuity parameter...

  • Development of leadership and design skills among ECE juniors and graduate students

    Creator:
    Luo, Ding
    Abstract:
    Engineering students spend a significant amount of their undergraduate careers focused on technical theory and practice. This intensive student prepares them for their technical challenges in the future. This training is so intense that often the more 'soft skills' such as communication, leadership, design, and troubleshooting are left out or...

  • The identification of Dungeness crab from the power spectral density function of their acoustic signature

    Creator:
    Eghbali, Hassan J.
    Abstract:
    The power spectral density of the acoustic signature of Dungeness crab was calculated by the use of digital computer. The signal produced by the Dungeness crab was an analog signal. Therefore a conversion of the signal from analog to digital was necessary. This was done by sampling the acoustic signature...

  • Design of a mini-computer controlled digital integrated circuit tester

    Creator:
    Fasang, Patrick Pad, 1941-
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the thesis is to design, construct, program, and test an automatic integrated circuit test system. The class of integrated circuits tested was restricted to digital integrated circuits. The general concept of testing a digital integrated circuit is based on the truth table of that circuit. A combination...

  • Real-time data quality assessment using linear prediction

    Creator:
    Rentola, Christopher T. W.
    Abstract:
    The U.S. Air Force models many naturally occurring phenomena. To validate such models, an automated data collection system is used. Since validation is dependent upon correct data, an inexpensive method to detect erroneous data was investigated. The method uses a Wiener filter to predict values one sample in advance. If...

  • A study of time series interpolation and decimation with signal processing applications

    Creator:
    Kraemer, Thomas Fredrick
    Abstract:
    Decimation and interpolation is shown to be an effective technique for reducing the storage requirements for bandlimited time series. Interpolation and decimation is theoretically developed using z-transform theory and graphically interperted. A sequence of data acquired by sampling a sonar signal is used to demonstrate the effects of decimation. Using...

  • A model for the generation and study of electromyographic signals

    Creator:
    Lerman, David
    Abstract:
    A computer model simulating the electrical activity of muscles of the upper arm during elbow motion is presented. The output of the model is an Electromyographic (EMG) signal. System identification is performed on the EMG signals using autoregressive moving average (ARMA) modelling. The calculated ARMA coefficients are then used as...

  • Critical evaluation of Ouyang's model reduction method

    Creator:
    Jia, Zuxin
    Abstract:
    A model reduction method for stable, linear, time-invariant, continuous systems is critically studied. This method, proposed by Prof. Ouyang, is based on the concept of power dispersion and the least-squared estimation technique. The reduced models obtained by this method retain the stability of the stable, high order original systems and...

  • A method for controlling and stabilizing the pitch-axis dynamics of a magnetically levitated train

    Creator:
    Ramchandran, Ashok
    Abstract:
    An electro-dynamic Magnetic Levitation vehicular system has been modelled and studied. In practice, a MagLev vehicle will consist of a number of cars which are mechanically coupled to each other. It is reasonable to assume that each of these cars will be independently controlled with the help of a supervisory...

  • SIMstat: Hardware Design Considerations for Implementing a Low-Cost, Portable Potentiostat

    Creator:
    Cook, Jacob M.
    Abstract:
    Electroanalytical techniques allow scientists and engineers to characterize bulk solutions as well as interfaces. Potentiostats are commonly used by researchers in a variety of disciplines to analyze the chemistry which occurs at a working electrode surface. Advancements in microelectronics and the proliferation of open-source designs have allowed researchers to construct...
