  • Design techniques for PVT tolerant phase-locked loops

    Creator:
    Wu, Ting
    Abstract:
    The continued scaling of deep-submicron CMOS technology enables low-voltage high-frequency phase-locked loops (PLLs) to be fully integrated in complex mixed-signal systems. However, fluctuations due to the manufacturing process and variations in environmental conditions, such as supply voltage and temperature, are also significantly increased. As a result, the performance of PLLs...

  • Quantum dot plasmon coupling : Fundamental study and applications

    Creator:
    Kannegulla, Akash
    Abstract:
    The dissertation focuses on the engineering of light-matter interaction using plasmonic nanoparticles and metamaterials to achieve enhanced luminescence and based on which to improve the performance of biosensing and light-emitting technologies. We designed and fabricated a spectrum of nanostructures to exhibit particular dispersion relations capable of controlling the spontaneous emission...

  • Oscillators and phase locked loops for space radiation environments

    Creator:
    Vandepas, Martin
    Abstract:
    Circuits operating outside the earth’s atmosphere are more vulnerable to cosmic radiation and require special design consideration. The purpose of this work is to explore methods of mitigating the effect of radiation in phase locked loop (PLL) circuits. Several voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) and two complete PLLs are designed and...

  • Via-only microwave/millimeter wave bandpass filters for LTCC applications

    Creator:
    Bhargava, Gaurav
    Abstract:
    With an increasing number of wireless applications at microwave frequencies, the frequency spectrum is becoming quite crowded. Due to this congestion, the current state of technology is leading towards upper microwave and millimeter wave spectra as they also offer other distinct advantages such as larger bandwidth and smaller component footprint....

  • Machine Learning for Architectural Design Space Exploration and Resource Control

    Creator:
    Penney, Drew D.
    Abstract:
    Machine learning has enabled significant advancements in diverse fields, yet, with a few exceptions, has had limited impact on computer architecture. Recent work, however, has begun to explore broader application to design, optimization, and simulation. Notably, machine-learning-based strategies often surpass prior state-of-the-art analytical, heuristic, and human-expert approaches. This thesis first...

  • Analysis and Design of Low Voltage LC Oscillators and their Application to Wireless Sensor Networks

    Creator:
    Guha Roy, Ankur
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on the analysis, design, and application of inductor-capacitor (LC) oscillators for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). First an analysis and design optimization approach for enhanced swing, low power CMOS LC oscillators is presented. A phasor based analysis is used for determining the amplitude and phase noise of these...

  • 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...

  • A methodology to enable wind farm automatic generation control

    Creator:
    Han, Hai-Yue
    Abstract:
    Over the last decade the increase in penetration of wind power and its variable nature has begun to add considerable stress to and threatened the stability of the nation's grid. In order to continue growth wind farms will need to have the ability to participate in the same grid frequency...
