  • Hot electron effects in N-channel MOSFET's

    Creator:
    Or, Siu-shun Burnette
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this work is to develop a new model for LDD n-MOSFET degradation in drain current under long-term AC use conditions for lifetime projection which includes a self-limiting effect in the hot-electron induced device degradation. Experimental results on LDD n-channel MOSFETs shows that the maximum drain current degradation...

  • Hot carrier degradation of sub-micron n-channel MOSFETs subject to static stress

    Creator:
    Aminzadeh, Payman G.
    Abstract:
    Hot carrier effects in sub-micron lightly doped drain (LDD) n-channel MOSFETs under static (DC) stress are studied in order to establish the degradation mechanisms of such devices. Degradation is monitored as a function of time at various gate voltages. Under accelerated aging conditions (i.e. large drain voltages) the gate voltage...

  • An n-sheet, state-space ACTFEL device model

    Creator:
    Hitt, John C.
    Abstract:
    The objective of the research presented in this thesis is to develop, implement, and demonstrate the utility of an n-sheet, state-space alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) device model. In this model, the phosphor layer is discretized into n + 1 layers, with band-to-band impact ionization, space charge creation/ annihilation, and luminescent...

  • Design and Simulation of Nonlinear Control Strategies for Heaving Point Wave Energy Converters in WEC-Sim

    Creator:
    Glennon, David N.
    Abstract:
    As the sources of our electricity shift from centralized and carbon emitting, to a portfolio of distributed, clean-energy sources, the wave energy converter (WEC) has become a topic of exploration and development for providing coastal communities electric power. Part of this trend has included an effort to create open source...

  • Target-based coverage extension of 802.11 MANETs via constrained UAV mobility

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor N.
    Abstract:
    MANETs are known to be useful in situations where mobile nodes need to communicate and coordinate in dynamic environments with no access to fixed network infrastructure. However, connectivity problems can occur when sub-groups within a MANET move out of communication range from one another. The increasingly prolific use of UAVs...

  • Dynamic and Dual Streaming Methods for H.264 Video and Parallel Performance Modeling

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor N.
    Abstract:
    Traditional approaches to streaming H.264 video over a network typically rely on a single method of transport (i.e., reliable or unreliable) and/or use static values for parameters that can have a significant negative impact on the perceptual quality of the received video. This dissertation presents a dynamic method for wireless...

  • Supervisory control of a doubly-fed machine

    Creator:
    Werahera, Priya N.
    Abstract:
    An EMCON-D distributed process controller is evaluated for control and monitoring of an experimental doubly-fed machine system. A closed-loop control circuit is implemented to operate the doubly-fed machine with constant rotor current. A standard PID algorithm as well as an algorithm tailored to the doubly-fed machine are evaluated.

  • A Microwave Signal Correlator Based on Parametric Pumping of Spin Waves

    Creator:
    Hansen, Mikkel N.
    Abstract:
    This work demonstrates correlation of microwave signals encoded with 16-bit codes using the parametric interaction of spin waves. Signal processing correlators are devices that compare two signals, such as a reference code and a received code, where the output indicates the similarity between the signals. Correlators are used in communication...

  • Industrial power system faults

    Creator:
    Badr, Ahmad Mohamad Amin
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to represent and calculate unsymmetrical secondary faults on a grounded wye-to-delta transformer bank. This thesis is specifically concerned with the secondary connections often encountered in industrial installations. Faults on these systems have not been adequately investigated. Three types of faults are considered, namely: 1....
