Wide Range Tunable Transconductance Filters
(2008-09-09)
Generation of filters using operational transconductance amplifiers and capacitors (OTA-C) has become more and more popular over recent years. This is due to the need for high quality analog filters that can be implemented ...
Microfabricated Electrode Arrays Suitable for Stimulation and Recording in Cardiac Electrophysiological Studies
(2008-09-09)
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) caused by ventricular fibrillation is one of the most serious heart related problems in the United States today which is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths per year. The goal of ...
Channel Estimation and Equalization for Doubly-Selective Channels Using Basis Expansion Models
(2008-09-09)
The nature of the wireless channels places fundamental limitations on the performance of wireless communication systems. In addition to the frequency-selectivity characteristics caused by multipath propagation, the high-rate ...
On-wafer S-parameter Measurement Using Four-port Technique and Intermodulation Linearity of RF CMOS
(2009-02-23)
Accurate on-wafer characterization of CMOS transistors at extremely high frequencies, e.g. above 60GHz, becomes critical for RFIC designs and CMOS technology development for millimeter wave applications. Traditional two-step ...
Simulation Based Power Estimation For Digital CMOS Technologies
(2009-02-23)
The estimation of power in digital CMOS circuits has become a significant problem, especially for present day semiconductor technologies. Finding a balance between opposing factors of estimation accuracy and computation ...
Statistical Analysis of Time Delays in USB Type Sensor Interfaces on Windows-based Low Cost Controllers
(2009-02-23)
Real-time control systems need sensor data at periodic and predictable time intervals- this is one aspect of what is commonly called ""determinism"". Common forces that present
challenges to determinism in Windows-based ...
Scheduling in WiMAX based wireless networks
(2009-02-23)
This thesis describes two transmission scheduling algorithms and a hybrid ARQ transmission
handling algorithm designed for WiMAX based wireless networks. WiMAX networks
are based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple ...
Phase Locked Loop Analysis and Design
(2009-02-23)
The components of the phase locked loop (PLL) circuit discussed in this thesis are
designed for use in a transmit receive (TR) module contracted out to Auburn University by
United States Space and Missile Defense (USSMDC) ...
Built-In Self-Test of the Programmable Interconnect in Field Programmable Gate Arrays
(2008-09-09)
Testing programmable interconnect resources in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is difficult because of the large number of wire segments and switches that must be tested. The adoption of Built-In Self-Test (BIST) ...
An Energy-Efficient Transmission Power Control Protocol for Cooperative Robotics
(2008-09-09)
Severe energy constraints inherent in multi-robot networks dictate that communication be performed as efficiently as possible to enable longer network lifetime and successful task execution. Therefore, energy-aware ...
