  • Optimizing the microcode produced by a high level microprogramming language

    Creator:
    Ma, Perng-Yi
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research is to develop methods to translate a certain machine independent intermediate language (IML) to efficient horizontal microprograms for a class of microprogrammable machines. This IML has been developed by Malik (12) and is compiled directly from a high level microprogramming language used to implement a...

  • A new loop structure for distributed microcomputing systems

    Creator:
    Jafari, Hossein
    Abstract:
    A new modular loop architecture for distributed computer systems has been developed and compared with three of the most prominent loop architectures currently being used. The competitive loops with which the new architecture has been compared are the Newhall loop, the Pierce loop and the DLCN loop. The four loop...

  • Static task scheduling and grain packing in parallel processing systems

    Creator:
    Kruatrachue, Boontee
    Abstract:
    We extend previous results for optimally scheduling concurrent program modules, called tasks, on a fixed, finite number of parallel processors in two fundamental ways: (1) we introduce a new heuristic which considers the time delay imposed by message transmission among concurrently running tasks; and (2) we introduce a second heuristic...

  • Deep ultraviolet solid-state laser development

    Creator:
    Dutton, David A. (David Adam)
    Abstract:
    There is a new possibility of generating deep ultraviolet laser radiation from a solid-state source. With recent advances in material development, a new nonlinear optical crystal provides a greater damage threshold than current materials making higher conversion efficiencies possible. This thesis examines the possibility of using this crystal to generate...

  • The analysis and synthesis of a parallel sorting engine

    Creator:
    Ahn, Byoungchul
    Abstract:
    This thesis is concerned with the development of a unique parallel sort-merge system suitable for implementation in VLSI. Two new sorting subsystems, a high performance VLSI sorter and a four-way merger, were also realized during the development process. In addition, the analysis of several existing parallel sorting architectures and algorithms...

  • The analysis and design of a broadband microwave buffer amplifier

    Creator:
    Dunsmore, Joel P.
    Abstract:
    In microwave network analysis, proper matching of the measurement system is necessary to prevent measurement errors and provide a proper terminating impedance for the device-under-test. To obtain this matching, a buffer amplifier is often used in the first stage of the network analyzer. This study describes the design and analysis...

  • Phase noise models for single-ended ring oscillators

    Creator:
    Godbole, Devavrata
    Abstract:
    The tremendous growth of wireless and mobile communications has resulted in placing of stringent requirements on the channel spacing and, by implication, on the phase noise of oscillators, typically mandating the use of passive LC oscillators with high quality factor (Q). However the trend towards large-scale integration and low cost...

  • A new correction algorithm for gain and phase imbalances in a homodyne receiver

    Creator:
    Vogel, Julia
    Abstract:
    The recent demand for wireless transceivers has created a flurry of research into nontraditional receiver architectures. The homodyne receiver, because of its high degree of integration, low complexity and low power consumption, has surfaced a desirable alternative to the well-known heterodyne receiver. However, distortions such as gain and phase imbalance...

  • DC notch filter offset cancellation for direct-conversion receivers

    Creator:
    Pan, Dongling
    Abstract:
    Direct-conversion architecture would dominate the modern low power wireless receiver architecture if problems such as offset cancellation, even-order distortion, and flicker noise were solved. Among those problems, offset is the most serious one. This thesis will discuss and analyze one approach to cancel offsets in direct-conversion receivers. First, we explain...

  • Efficient digital predistortion techniques for power amplifier linearization

    Creator:
    Zhuo, Min
    Abstract:
    The importance of spectral efficiency in mobile communications often requires the use of non-constant-envelop linear digital modulation schemes. These modulation techniques carry signal information in both magnitude and phase, thus they must be linearly amplified to avoid nonlinear signal distortion which is not correctable in a typical receiver. A second...
