Characterization of Thermally Induced Stress in IC Packages using Piezoresistive Sensors
(2015-05-05)
This thesis presents the characterization of thermally induced stress in IC packages using CMOS sensor circuits. In various applications, the IC packages are exposed to extreme environments. The knowledge of the thermally ...
Exploiting Boundary Scan functions of FPGA on ATE
(2015-07-21)
With the increase of integration density at chip level, the controllability and observability of defects become complicated, resulting in limited physical probe access to I/O pins. It is impractical to apply test stimulus ...
DC Parametric Test and IDDQ Test Using Advantest T2000 ATE
(2015-07-24)
For purpose of improving quality of devices before shipping to customers, VLSI
testing methods have been developed to detect defective devices effectively by using
automatic test equipment (ATE). To test a chip properly, ...
Interference Management and Exploitation in Emerging Wireless Networks
(2015-04-30)
In the past decade, with the prevalence of smart phones, the main use of cellphones has been
shifted from phone call to multimedia access. This paradigm shift has resulted in the demand for
higher and higher transmission ...
Digital Reverse Time Chaos and Matched Filter Decoding
(2015-05-04)
The use of reverse time chaos allows the realization of hardware chaotic systems that can operate at speeds equivalent to existing state of the art while requiring significantly less complex circuitry. Unlike traditional ...
Design, Fabrication, and Characterization of a Short Range, Multi Band Frequency Jammer
(2015-05-06)
The purpose of this thesis is to show how frequency jamming against wireless communication systems can be achieved in a modular form so multiple bands can be targeted depending on the need. In this thesis, the basic ...
Modulation and Control of Energy Feedback Voltage Source Inverter and Matrix Converter
(2015-07-29)
In this research work, the modulation and control of energy feedback voltage source inverters and matrix converters are investigated. This paper analyzes the basic principle of the space vector pulse width modulation ...
Diagnostic Test Generation for Path Delay Faults in a Scan Circuit
(2015-07-24)
With the increase of density, speed and test time of large VLSI circuits, man-
ufacturers are eager to nd e cient ways to bring up yields. Often, VLSI testing
only tells if a circuit is faulty but is unable to locate ...
Algorithms for Optimal Construction and Training of Radial Basis Function Neural Networks
(2015-04-30)
Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence are rapidly growing fields of research in both academia and industry. Artificial neural networks are at the heart of much of this research. Efficiently constructing and ...
Investigating Brain Function using Functional MRI-based Meta-analysis and Diffusion Tensor Imaging
(2015-05-04)
The investigation of structure and function in biological systems, specifically the brain, is paramount given the close relationship that they share with each other. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and Diffusion ...
