Reconfigurable RF Receiver Frontends for Multi-Standard Radios
(2011-04-15)
Several Wireless Communication Standards have been developed over the past few decades to address the growing and varying needs of the users. For example, while cellular access technologies such as GSM and CDMA have satisfied ...
Secondary Bus Performance in Reducing Cache Writeback Latency
(2011-04-08)
For single as well as multi core designs, effective strategies to minimize cache access latencies have been proposed by a number of researchers over the last decade. Such designs include the Miss Status Holding Registers, ...
Strategies for Efficient and Effective Scan Delay Testing
(2011-04-27)
Aggressive timing requirements in today’s high-speed designs have introduced the need to test for small delay defects and distributed timing faults caused by statistical process variations. Faster-than-rated clock delay ...
Metamaterial Filters on LCP Substrate Using MEMS Technology
(2011-07-26)
Metamaterials have a wide range of potential uses in areas such as optics, transmission lines, and RF design. The simplest metamaterial structures are Split-Ring Resonators (SRR) and Complementary Split-Ring Resonators ...
Carbon Nanotube Cold Cathodes for Applications under Vacuum to Partial Pressure in Helium and Dryair
(2011-05-10)
Carbon nanotubes are known for their excellent field emission characteristics. This property of carbon nanotubes makes them a good choice for the cold cathode material for many high power applications. In this work carbon ...
Efforts towards the Detection of Perturbations in the Earth’s Magnetic Field: Design and Development of Solid State Sensor Array
(2011-05-13)
The following thesis provides a detailed description of the design and development of magneto-resistive unexploded ordinance (UXO) sensor array to detect the perturbations in the Earth’s magnetic field due to the presence ...
Evaluating the Digital Fault Coverage for a Mixed-Signal Built-In Self-Test
(2011-11-21)
This thesis focuses on a digital Built-in Self-Test (BIST) approach to perform specification-
oriented testing of the analog portion of a mixed-signal system. The BIST utilizes a direct
digital synthesizer (DDS) based ...
A Modified Genetic Algorithm for Design Peak Pulse Power in Nonlinear Transmission Lines
(2011-04-29)
Non-linear transmission lines (NLTL) have become increasingly popular as a way to develop very high frequency, wide band waveforms that offer extremely fast rise times usually unobtainable by any other method. The applications ...
Enhanced Polymer Passivation Layer for Wafer Level Chip Scale Package
(2011-12-05)
Wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP) have been used in many consumer products, and thus they are competitive in cost, size, yield, and technology. For advanced WLCSP, solder joint reliability is a major concern. ...
Evaluation of Low Frequency Communication Techniques for Load Phase Identification
(2011-11-14)
This is a discussion on the process of implementing a system for power line
communication (PLC). A PLC system is desired as it will allow for phase identification
of the load and the transmission of data from the load ...
