  • An approach for selecting a language for computer hardware description and simulation

    Creator:
    Milden, Mark R.
    Abstract:
    This paper corrects an apparent deficiency in the published information concerning Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) by introducing and discussing an approach for selecting an HDL for use in a design project. Although three classes of HDLs are discussed in this paper, High-Level Languages (HLLs), General Purpose Simulation Languages (GPSLs) and...

  • Time domain electromagnetic simulation of VLSI interconnects

    Creator:
    Falconer, Maynard C.
    Abstract:
    Current trends in integrated circuit technology are continuing towards physically smaller components and related structures. Interconnects between circuit components have reached sub-micron dimensions which can not be modeled accurately by the current ideal microstrip analysis based techniques. These techniques often assume that the structure being modeled is perfectly conducting, smooth,...

  • Radiation effects in III-V compound semiconductor heterostructure devices

    Creator:
    Li, ChyiShiun
    Abstract:
    The radiation effects in III-V heterojunction devices are investigated in this thesis. Two types of heterojunction devices studied are InGaP/GaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistors (SHBTs) and GaN-based heterojunction light emitting diodes (LEDs). InGaP/GaAS HBTs are investigated for high energy (67 and 105 MeV) proton irradiation effects while GaN heterojunction LEDs...

  • Radiation effects in III-V heterojunction bipolar transistors

    Creator:
    Vuppala, Soujanya
    Abstract:
    Electron and neutron irradiation effects in InGaP/GaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistors are investigated in this thesis. Devices with different emitter sizes and grown by two different growth techniques were examined. Based on the physics of heterojunction bipolar transistors and concepts of radiation damage mechanisms, the irradiation effects were analyzed. The...

  • COLAN V : a high performance local area network for control and communication utilizing a communication co-processor

    Creator:
    Kumar, Ravi C.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the design and implementation of COLAN V, a High Performance Local Area Network for Communications and Control utilizing a Communications Coprocessor. The main objective of this thesis is to improve upon the performance of previous COLANs in speed, switching techniques and error detection techniques. This was possible...

  • A high-swing CMOS operational amplifier topology

    Creator:
    Yang, John Jian
    Abstract:
    A circuit topology for high-swing, high-linearity CMOS operational amplifiers has been developed. The technique uses parallel-connected p- and n-channel input pairs to realize an input common-mode voltage range nearly equal to the total power supply voltage. High linearity is achieved by summing the DC bias and AC small-signal currents so...

  • Lamb Wave Mode Decomposition and Its Applications in Structural Health Monitoring

    Creator:
    Zoubi, Ahmad Bassil
    Abstract:
    Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems perform automated non-destructive damage detection and characterization for a variety of large structures including civil structures such as bridges and aerospace structures such as aircrafts and space vehicles. The goals of SHM include preventing catastrophic structural failures, increasing reliability, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing the...

  • Action Selection for Heterologous Control of a Continuous-Output Myoelectric Prosthesis

    Creator:
    Sylwester, Sean T.
    Abstract:
    Significance: Movement intent decoding algorithms can interpret human bioelectrical signals to control prosthetic limbs with many degrees of freedom (DOFs). This work involves decoding volitional movement intent from surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals to control prosthetic arms. To train these algorithms, patients flex their muscles to “follow” a movement prompt, and...

  • Modeling and characterization of multiple coupled lines

    Creator:
    Tripathi, Alok
    Abstract:
    A configuration-oriented circuit model for multiple coupled lines in an inhomogeneous medium is developed and presented in this thesis. This circuit model consists of a network of uncoupled transmission lines and is readily modeled with simulation tools like LIBRA© and SPICE©. It provides an equivalent circuit representation which is simple...

  • Data-Driven Approaches For Decoding Volitional Movement Intent From Bioelectrical Signals

    Creator:
    Cunha Dantas, Henrique
    Abstract:
    There are nearly two million limb amputees living in the United States of America. Loss of limbs results in profound changes in one's life. However, the underlying neural circuitry and much of the ability to sense and control movements of their missing limb is retained even after limb loss. This...
