  • Propagation characteristics of strapped coplanar waveguides

    Creator:
    Hinz, Robert C.
    Abstract:
    The propagation characteristics of a new coupled fin line structure, with asymetrical, rectangular, top and bottom housings, is evaluated by using the modal analysis technique. The boundary Green's function of the structure, relating the surface currents to the electric fields is derived by using this technique. The propagation characteristics, i.e....

  • Correlated level shifting as a power-saving method to reduce the effects of finite DC gain and signal swing in opamps

    Creator:
    Gregoire, B. Robert
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents methods to reduce the effects of finite opamp DC gain, output voltage swing limitations in opamps, and component mismatches. The primary contribution of this thesis is a new switched-capacitor method named correlated level shifting (CLS). CLS enables true rail-to-rail operation by storing an estimate of the desired...

  • Hybrid-Meshnet, a local area mesh network with distributed control

    Creator:
    Kang, Cheoul Shin
    Abstract:
    Hybrid-Meshnet is a communication subnet architecture for local area networks (LANs) designed to achieve a high degree of network performance and flexibility. These objectives are achieved by utilizing a dual channel structure. A token ring is used for short or prioritized data transmissions. A complimentary mesh network with arbitrary data...

  • Initial state estimation for a gun launched projectile in a spatially varying magnetic field

    Creator:
    Chawla, Feni
    Abstract:
    Smart weapons promise to provide leap ahead capability with regard to accuracy and engagement range for medium and large caliber projectiles. One of the most critical components of a smart weapon system is its sensor suite that provides position, orientation, and velocity information as the projectile flies down range so...

  • Investigation and comparison of generators for dynamic operation in ocean buoys

    Creator:
    Schacher, Anthony Clinton
    Abstract:
    A significantly untapped renewable energy source exists in the world's oceans. It is estimated that if 0.2% of the ocean's untapped energy could be harnessed, it could provide power sufficient for the entire world. Ocean energy extraction is an old concept, and it is currently seeing the benefit of advancing...

  • Multiple-fault detection in iterative arrays

    Creator:
    Ramamurti, Chandramouli
    Abstract:
    With the advent of LSI, iterative forms of realization of digital systems are becoming increasingly popular with system designers. Many problems occurring in digital computer design render themselves suitable for iterative realization. These include adders, arithmetic logic units, coding and decoding circuits and so on. Fault-free functioning of such systems...

  • 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...

    Creator:
    Kwon, Young-Kyong
    Abstract:
    In the past, multimedia technology focused mainly on designing high quality audio and graphical imagery as well as providing adequate performance levels that the users demand for multimedia applications. However, the concept of multimedia has expanded into New-Media that involves variety use of multimedia data in consumer-oriented applications, such as...

  • Quasi-static design of electro-optic modulators by the method of lines

    Creator:
    Myers, Robert A. (Robert Allan), 1962-
    Abstract:
    Coplanar microstrip structures placed on dielectric substrates are used as high frequency electro-optic modulators. The method of lines, a mathematical technique for solving partial differential equations, has been applied to solve for the propagation characteristics of such a configuration. It has been determined that simple transmission line models are adequate...
