  • Radiation Detection Module and Radioactive Isotope Identification System

    Creator:
    Ma, Naixuan
    Abstract:
    Radiation is part of our life. Most people may know a radioactive source is very dangerous. But there are very few situations people are exposed to uncontrolled radionuclides above background. A radioactive source can emit gamma rays which are the highest energy type in electromagnetic radiation.[2] Gamma rays are like...

  • Design and Analysis of an Optical Wireless Receiver for a Hybrid WiFi Free-Space Optical (WiFO) Communication Network

    Creator:
    Borah, Anindita
    Abstract:
    The increasing demand for higher data-rates in spectrum-deficient indoor WiFi networks calls for the adaptation of hybrid systems, consisting of RF and optical wireless channels. The novel hybrid WiFi Free-Space Optical (WIFO) system was introduced to enhance the wireless capacity of indoor WiFi networks. In this thesis, an optical wireless...

  • Radiation tolerance of magnetic tunnel junctions with MgO barriers

    Creator:
    Ren, Fanghui
    Abstract:
    In the next decade, technology trends--smaller dimension, lower voltage, higher operating frequency--introduce new technical considerations and challenges for radiation effects in integrated circuits. Semiconductor based circuits and traditional dynamic random-access memories will malfunction when exposed to extreme environments, such as space and nuclear reactor. The mechanisms for radiation effect are...

  • Characteriscts of FSO Channel in WIFO

    Creator:
    Wang, songtao
    Abstract:
    With explosive growth of Internet access from smart phones and tablets, increasing bandwidth for WIFI system is badly needed. Depending on two years’ research, we produced a novel communication system called WIFO system, which integrates both RF (Radio Frequency) and FSO (Free Space Optical) techniques. WIFO system can significantly increase...

  • Enhancing macrocell downlink performance through femtocell user cooperation

    Creator:
    Zaid, Adem Mabruk
    Abstract:
    This thesis studies cooperative techniques that rely on femtocell user diversity to improve the downlink communication quality of macrocell users. We analytically analyze and evaluate the achievable performance of these techniques in the downlink of Rayleigh fading channels. We provide an approximation of both the bit-error rate (BER) and the...

  • 5th-Order Elliptic LPF Using Passive Charge Compensation Technique (PCC) Design

    Creator:
    Tsai, Cheng H.
    Abstract:
    The passive charge compensation (PCC) technique was introduced for switched capacitor (SC) circuit to increase the slew rate and enhance the linearity performance, as PCC techniques are used on the Delta-Sigma modulator (DSM) in ADC circuitry. The PCC technique of the project was applied to the design of a SC...

  • Synthesis of Mg-MOF-74 thin film on optical support and its potential application in gas sensing

    Creator:
    Sun, Hao
    Abstract:
    Mg-MOF-74 is one type of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that is widely known for its excellent CO2 uptake capacity. More intriguingly, it can be used to detect low levels of toxic gas such as CO2. Currently, most research into Mg-MOF-74 focuses on using the powder type as a CO2 absorbent because...

  • Energy-Aware Gossip Techniques for Wireless Broadcasting

    Creator:
    Li, Tingzhi
    Abstract:
    The current state of research on gossip techniques for wireless broadcasting is very limited because past research efforts have mostly focused on using gossip techniques for multicast communication. On the other hand, those research efforts that have focused on using gossip techniques for wireless broadcast communications ignore energy efficiency and...

  • Threshold Selection Based on the SNR in Time of Arrival Localization System

    Creator:
    Lyu, Tao
    Abstract:
    Threshold-based time of arrival (TOA) estimation is a technique for high-precision indoor localization. Existing threshold selection methods, such as xed thresh- old and normalized threshold methods, do not consider the signal-to-noise radio (SNR) value at the receiver. This is not desired for high-precision positioning. A proper threshold value depends on...

  • Nanostructured Optical Devices for Biosensing Applications

    Creator:
    Chalishazar, Vishvas
    Abstract:
    We demonstrated a sensitive biosensor based on plasmonic metal composite nanostructures. The device can be fabricated and duplicated with ease using a novel nanoprinting technology which allows precise transfer of metal nanostructures without complicated lithography processes. The design featured by its unique material composition and sub-wavelength structures maximizes the exposure...
