  • Electrical properties of GaAs FET structures

    Creator:
    Yang, Fanling Hsu
    Abstract:
    The electrical properties of ion-implanted GaAs FET channels are investigated by two methods. First, the channel current (I) as a function of voltage (V) is examined at different temperatures and using different voltage ramp rates. The standard FET I-V curve, which can be observed on a commercial curve tracer, is...

  • Experimentation of Synchronous and Variable Speed Small Scale Hydropower Systems

    Creator:
    Jackson, Elliott C.
    Abstract:
    Hydropower is the one of the oldest renewable energy technologies and is wrongly thought of today as having little room to grow. The opportunity for new hydropower capacity is immense through both technology advancement and run-of-river new stream reach projects. Despite the age of hydropower, a divide in opinion is...

  • Characteristics of semi-insulating GaAs photoconductive detectors under steady state illumination

    Creator:
    Yang, Howard C.
    Abstract:
    The optical and electrical characteristics of semi-insulating GaAs photoconductive detectors made with ohmic and Schottky contacts are studied in this thesis. Current - voltage measurements are made both in the dark and under varying power levels of HeNe laser (6328 Å) illumination. DC photocurrent gain is then calculated as a...

  • 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...

  • New configurations for RF/microwave bandstop and lowpass filters

    Creator:
    Peddibhotla, Harish V.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents new, compact configurations for RF/microwave bandstop and lowpass filters for embedded passive applications. A simple design methodology is presented for designing the folded-transmission line filters on a microstrip platform. Unlike the conventional stub-loaded filter designs, the proposed folded-line filters will have practical dimensions for a wide range...

  • Time domain characterization of interconnect discontinuities

    Creator:
    Jong, Jyh-Ming
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to develop experimental techniques to characterize typical interconnect discontinuities, including bends, steps, T junctions, vias and pads, which are the most commonly encountered interconnections in high speed digital integrated circuits, hybrid and monolithic microwave circuits and electronic packages. The time domain reflection response of...

  • Embedded passives in a multilayer medium

    Creator:
    Seo, Yongseok, 1958-
    Abstract:
    Recent advances in high density low cost RF and microwave three dimensional integration technologies using LTCC(Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics), laminate and other multilayer hybrid and integrated circuits have increased interest in the design of embedded passive components such as inductors, capacitors and filters. The purpose of this study is to...

  • Low cost, short wavelenght fiber Bragg grating strain sensor systems

    Creator:
    Vaughan, Lira
    Abstract:
    Fiber Bragg grating sensors have been constantly researched for the last ten years and have finally begun to find use in the commercial market. However, one of the major factors limiting their widespread use is their system cost. Their lightweight, flexibility, electromagnetic immunity, and small size make fiber Bragg grating...
