  • Efficient VLSI architectures for MIMO and cryptography systems

    Creator:
    Li, Qingwei
    Abstract:
    Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems have recently been considered as one of the most significant technology breakthroughs for modern wireless communications, due to the higher spectral efficiency and improved link reliability. The sphere decoding algorithm (SDA) has been widely used for maximum likelihood (ML) detection in MIMO systems. It is...

  • Capacitance-voltage analysis, SPICE modeling, and aging studies of AC thin-film electroluminescent devices

    Creator:
    Davidson, James D. (James Douglas), 1960-
    Abstract:
    Alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices are metal-insulator-semiconductorinsulator- metal (MISIM) structures which emit light under high field, pulsed excitation. One aspect of ACTFEL operation that is not well understood is the aging of such devices with operating time. One of the primary goals of this thesis is to characterize the kinetics...

  • Image features and learning algorithms for biological, generic and social object recognition

    Creator:
    Zhang, Wei
    Abstract:
    Automated recognition of object categories in images is a critical step for many real-world computer vision applications. Interest region detectors and region descriptors have been widely employed to tackle the variability of objects in pose, scale, lighting, texture, color, and so on. Different types of object recognition problems usually require...
