  • Development and Implementation of JetNet : A Decentralized Wireless Sensing Protocol

    Creator:
    Goins, Justin B.
    Abstract:
    Modern sensor network applications are often implemented wirelessly in order to lessen installation costs and reduce deployment times. Unfortunately, these wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes must often rely on batteries or energy harvesting techniques in order to sustain their operation and supply the power needed to maintain communication within the...

  • A DC-DC converter architecture for low-power, high-resistance thermoelectric generators for use in body-powered designs

    Creator:
    Miller, Brian A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a low power DC-DC converter suitable for harvesting energy from high impedance thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for the use in body powered electronics. The chip has been fabricated in a 130nm CMOS technology. To meet the power demands of body powered networks, a novel dual-path architecture capable of...

  • Design techniques for low-power multi-GS/s analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Jiang, Tao
    Abstract:
    Ultra-high-speed (>10GS/s), medium-resolution (5~6bit), low-power (<50mW) analog-to-digital converter can find it application in the areas of digital oscilloscopes and next-generation serial link receivers. There are several challenges to enable a successful design, however. First, the time-interleaved architecture is required in order to achieve over 10GS/s sampling rate, with the trade-off...

  • IC-Antenna Co-Integration for Efficient and Scalable Millimeter-Wave Antenna Interfaces

    Creator:
    Liu,Yao
    Abstract:
    Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) technology promises high speed, high system capacity and low latency interconnects with reduced cost. Applications like high data-rate wireless links, next generation automotive sensors and security body scanners highly depend on mm-wave technology innovations. As operating frequency moves to higher mm-wave bands, shrinking antenna dimensions enable co-integration of...

  • Analysis and design on low-power multi-Gb/s serial links

    Creator:
    Hu, Kangmin
    Abstract:
    High speed serial links are critical components for addressing the growing demand for I/O bandwidth in next-generation computing applications, such as many-core systems, backplane and optical data communications. Due to continued process scaling and circuit innovations, today's CMOS serial link transceivers can achieve tens of Gb/s per pin. However, most...

  • Analysis and design on low-power short-range radios for wireless body area networks

    Creator:
    Cheng, Jiao
    Abstract:
    The release of the IEEE802.15.6 standard has led to increased interest in low-power technologies for wireless body-area-networks (WBANs). The power dissipation, supply voltage, and die area are some of the most important criteria for successful WBAN implementations. Digital-intensive RX architectures can potentially result in sub-1V operation with significant reductions in...

  • Wirelessly Powered cm-Scale Sensor for Small Insect Localization Application

    Creator:
    Kang, Jian
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications leads to an increasing focus on the design and optimization of sensor nodes. Battery lifetime and associated costs of battery replacement often limits the long term operation and viability of sensor nodes. RF wireless energy harvesting on the other hand can be appealing since...

  • 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...
