  • A probabilistic model for anomaly detection in remote sensor streams

    Creator:
    Dereszynski, Ethan W.
    Abstract:
    Remote sensors are becoming the standard for observing and recording ecological data in the field. Such sensors can record data at fine temporal resolutions, and they can operate under extreme conditions prohibitive to human access. Unfortunately, sensor data streams exhibit many kinds of errors ranging from corrupt communications to partial...

  • Multi-dimensional parametric estimation: two-dimensional sharpening by predictive bandwidth extrapolation and fast algorithms for three dimensional autoregressive estimation

    Creator:
    Liew, Ji Seok
    Abstract:
    Achieving sharpened (enhanced detail) features of a multi-dimensional data source using the linear prediction (LP) bandwidth extrapolation (BWE) technique in the transform domain is the main objective of this research. The evolution of sensor technology has provided acquisition scenarios in which the data format is inherently multi-dimensional, including hyperspectral imaging...

  • Kinematic and cyclostationary parameter estimation for co-channel emitter location applications

    Creator:
    Ohm, David R.
    Abstract:
    The problem of locating a signal source, or an emitter, has many civilian and military applications, such as communication regulations enforcement, military reconnaissance, and search-and-rescue operations. Many of the most widely used emitter location methods rely on the accurate and robust estimation of the differential time delay, or time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA),...

  • Evaluation of UWB techniques for indoor position locationing

    Creator:
    Chou, Tai Chian
    Abstract:
    Time of Arrival (TOA) is a popular technique used for geolocation. This thesis evaluates the use of TOA techniques indoors. The accuracy of measuring distances using TOA is dependent on the bandwidth of the system and the multipath conditions between the receiver and transmitter. System bandwidth has a significant effect...

  • Design and evaluation of on-line arithmetic modules and networks for signal processing applications on FPGAs

    Creator:
    Galli, Reto
    Abstract:
    Several papers propose the use of on-line arithmetic for signal processing applications implemented on FPGAs. Although those papers provide reasonable arguments for the use of on-line arithmetic, they give only inadequate or incomplete comparisons of the proposed on-line designs to other state of the art solutions on FPGAs. In this...

  • Proposed implementation of a near-far resistant multiuser detector without matrix inversion using Delta-Sigma modulation

    Creator:
    Myers, Timothy F.
    Abstract:
    A new algorithm is proposed which provides a sub-optimum near-far resistant pattern for correlation with a known signal in a spread-spectrum multiple access environment with additive white gaussian noise (AWGN). Only the patterns and respective delays of the K-1 interfering users are required. The technique does not require the inversion...

  • Performance-improving techniques for wireless systems

    Creator:
    Ozdural, Orhan Can
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, maximum likelihood Doppler frequency estimation and phase noise suppression algorithms for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems are presented. A novel handover decision algorithm for wireless systems, called predictive base station switching (PBSS), is also introduced. The maximum Doppler Frequency is the ratio of the speed of...

  • Noise coupling techniques in multi-cell delta-sigma modulators

    Creator:
    Bonu, Madhulatha
    Abstract:
    High performance multi-cell delta-sigma modulators are a preferred choice in applications which require programmability. Multi-cell delta-sigma modulators with M unit cells provide 10log10(M) SQNR improvement for the same thermal noise and bias power due to the uncorrelated quantization noises of the M unit ADCs. This concept is used in this...

  • Automated model parameter extraction for noise coupling analysis in silicon substrates

    Creator:
    Peterson, Brett
    Abstract:
    An automated method, requiring the fabrication of a small set of test structures, efficiently extracts the coefficients of Z-parameter based macromodels. The extraction approach has been validated for both heavily and lightly doped substrates and can be applied to a variety of technologies. After the parameters of a macromodel have...
