A High Throughput Multiplier Design Exploiting Input Based Statistical Distribution in Completion Delays
(2013-05-16)
The primary goal of this work is to ensure that optimum performance is achieved for a Multiplier Design, while reducing as much static power dissipation as possible or atleast equal to their slower counterparts. This design ...
Designing LC Ladder Filters with Lossy Elements
(2013-01-24)
Many publications and many books have been written on LC Ladder filters, however, most of the material in circulation only deals with ideal (lossless) LC ladder filters. It is assumed that in the lossless design, all of ...
Optimized Nonlinear Substrate Integrated Waveguide for Pulse Compression
(2013-04-15)
The time compression and associated frequency broadening of electromagnetic pulses has numerous applications in communication and radar systems. In this work, a new type of pulse compression device based on nonlinear ...
Nonlinear Field Enhancement factor of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) in Vacuum and Partial Pressure
(2013-04-17)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted much attention because of their unique electrical properties and their potential applications. Large aspect ratios of CNTs together with thermal conductivity high mechanical strength ...
Dictionary-Less Defect Diagnosis as Real or Surrogate Single Stuck-At Faults
(2013-04-05)
In this work, an algorithm to diagnose classic single stuck-at-faults and provide surrogate fault suspects for non-classical faults like multiple faults by analyzing failing circuits is proposed. The algorithm is based on ...
Energy-Efficient Designs in Cyber-Physical Systems with a Control and Optimization Approach
(2013-03-06)
In modern cyber-physical systems (CPS), new dimensions of freedom are enabled to energy efficient solutions. We first focus on the energy delivery side within the smart grid paradigm for smart, efficient and reliable energy ...
True Three-Dimensional Proximity Effect Correction in Electron-beam Lithography: Control of Critical Dimension and Sidewall Shape
(2013-04-23)
One of the major limiting factors in electron-beam (e-beam) lithography is the geometric distortion of written features due to electron scattering, i.e., proximity effect, which puts a fundamental limit on the minimum ...
Efficient Acquisition and Reconstruction for Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging
(2013-01-08)
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), combining both magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, has proven to be a powerful approach to reveal information about ...
Growing and Learning Algorithms of Radial Basis Function Networks
(2013-04-23)
Radial Basis Function (RBF) network is a type of artificial neural network, which uses the Gaussian kernel activation function. It has a fixed three-layer architecture. The RBF network is easier to be designed and trained ...
On Multiantenna Spectrum Sensing and Energy-Aware Resource Allocation in Cognitive Radio Networks
(2013-05-06)
This dissertation covers two main parts: 1) low complexity cyclostationarity based spectrum sensing in cognitive radio, and 2) energy efficient resource allocation in cognitive radio networks. Cognitive radio allows ...
