This thesis is an investigation of the characteristics of transistor-coupled logic using both theoretic and experimental methods. The steady state and transient behavior of the transistor are first investigated, especially as applied to the common emitter configuration. A number of references giving further information are cited.
Next, the characteristics of...
This thesis discusses the design and evaluation of an instrument
that can detect known signals in noise. This detector uses
two integrators to sense a difference in the received signal between
half-cycles of the known signal.
The detector is useful for sensing signals in the approximate
frequency range of 100...
Periodic signals hidden in noise may be detected by using
correlation techniques This thesis presents a study of how
correlation is approximated statistically, and carried out electronically.
The ability to detect periodic signals in noise, using correlation,
is justified mathematically in the first portion of the thesis.
The discussion is...
The application of residue notation is another
approach for solving the problem of carry propagation in
arithmetic units. Most other methods for solving this
problem are based on changes in adder design and the use
of improved components.
Residue arithmetic has the inherent property of
requiring no carries between moduli....
Three synthesis methods for the realization of the
voltage transfer function by means of RC elements and
three different active devices are presented. These
three devices are a high-gain amplifier, a voltage controlled
voltage source (VCVS) and a negative immittance
converter (NIC). The VCVS and NIC as well as the...
This thesis discusses the analysis, design, and experimental
evaluation of an instrument that can be used to detect the presence or
absence of a signal, not necessarily known, in a noisy background.
The detection principle is based on application of the sign test of
distribution-free statistics to the stochastic process...
The exponential characteristic of the base-emitter
Junction in bipolar transistors was used to make an
accurate and fairly temperature independent multiplier.
Using hybrid-pi transistor models and ECAP, a
bandwidth of 350 MHz was predicted. Linearity is
limited by emitter degeneration in the input differential
stage rather than by the small...
