  • Manufacture and characterization of novel ACTFEL materials and devices

    Creator:
    Bender, Jeffrey P.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this dissertation is to develop non-traditional approaches to alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) device fabrication. ACTFEL technology suffers from a lack of adequately bright and efficient primary-color phosphors and cannot presently compete in the low-cost display market. Therefore the research presented in this dissertation focuses on an exploration...

  • SPICE modeling of ACTFEL devices and OLEDs

    Creator:
    Bender, Jeffrey P.
    Abstract:
    The achievements of this thesis are the development of several models for the SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) simulation of alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices, organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), and polymer light-emitting devices (PLEDs). First, an ACTFEL model based on the built-in HSPICE Fowler-Nordheim tunneling diode is developed,...

  • Switch-capacitor Power Amplifier with Enhanced Power Back-off Efficiency and Linearity

    Creator:
    Qiao, Bo
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, wireless communication systems use high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) together with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) to increase the link capacity and robustness. These signals always have large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and require power amplifiers (PAs) achieve both high efficiency and linearity simultaneously. For the efficiency, the complementary metal...

  • Location Assisted Coding (LAC)

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Thuan
    Abstract:
    The recent increase in the number of wireless devices has been driven by the growing markets of smart homes and the Internet of Things (IoT). Consequently, current research has focused on efficient utilization of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to accommodate such an increase in wireless bandwidth. Alternatively, latest free-space...

  • Growth and characterization of zinc ferrite thin films for high frequency applications

    Creator:
    Hu, Jiqing
    Abstract:
    Ferrites have been used for various high frequency applications as bulk materials. These applications, however, are limited to large dimension devices. In this thesis, thin film ferrites were deposited from a low temperature solution-based deposition process that is suitable for micro-scale high frequency applications. The low temperature nature of this...

  • A Novel CCRW Receiver with Variable Width Window for Mitigating Multipath and Ambiguity in GNSS Positioning

    Creator:
    Alhussein, Fahad
    Abstract:
    This work presents a novel CCRW receiver that utilizes a window of variable width, for e˙ectively mitigating multipath and ambiguity in both civil and military positioning applica-tions using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). This CCRW receiver incorporates a single stroboscopic window, whose width is iteratively reduced until the e˙ect of...

  • Network monitoring with focus on HTTP

    Creator:
    Schmid, Andreas
    Abstract:
    Since its introduction in the early 1990s, the quick growth of the World Wide Web (WWW) traffic raises the question of whether past Local Area Network (LAN) packet traces still reflect the current situation or whether they have become obsolete. For this thesis, several LAN packet traces were obtained by...

  • Modeling, Fabrication, and Characterization of Magnetic Thin Films for Integrated Inductor and MRAM Applications

    Creator:
    Buford, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Magnetic thin films have potential to improve devices such as on-chip inductors, and enable new technologies such as magnetic random access memory (MRAM). The use of magnetic cores in on-chip inductors is typically limited to applications well under 1 GHz. At higher frequencies, the performance of the magnetic core is...

  • Impacts of Prediction on Wave Energy Converter Control

    Creator:
    Comard, Colin Q.
    Abstract:
    Ocean waves provide a promising source of renewable energy for the North American electric grid. However, ideal control of wave energy converters (WECs) requires perfect forecasting of future wave conditions, and waves can be unpredictable. This paper presents a comparison of three different prediction methods and analyzes their performance in...
