Particle Swarm Optimization Applied to the Design of a Nonlinear Control
(2006-05-15)
A method of searching for a tuning of an input to state linearizing controller is
presented. The problem of ?nding the appropriate weights of the control law’s terms
is treated as an optimization problem. Given the highly ...
Perfomance Analysis of 802.11b Networks
(2006-05-15)
Wireless local area networks (WLANs), especially those incorporating the 802.11b standard, have experienced rapid evolution and unprecedented widespread deployment during the past few years. Increasing research led to the ...
Phase Locked Loop Analysis and Design
(2008-12-15)
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) ...
Planning Stage Reliable Operation of Dynamic Microgrids
(2023-12-08)
The deployment of renewable energy generation is increasing at the distribution level in power systems. The concept of microgrids reduces the complex control burden from the system operator and lowers electricity prices. ...
Power and Performance Optimization of Static CMOS Circuits with Process Variation
(2007-08-15)
With the continuing trend of technology scaling, leakage power has become a main contributor to power consumption. Dual threshold (dual-Vth) assignment has emerged as an efficient technique for decreasing leakage power. ...

Power Management of a Grid Forming Enabled Hybrid Energy System
(2021-12-03)
Hybrid power generation systems that combine different renewable energy sources and energy storage systems offer an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional power generators for stand-alone applications. However, ...
Power Quality Standard Comparison between China, IEEE, and IEC
(2018-11-15)
This thesis compares power quality standards and measurement methods of the U.S. and
China. These standards specify the power quality parameters (harmonics, flicker, unbalance,etc.),
that are dedicated to ensure the ...
A Practical Quaternary FPGA Architecture Using Floating Gate Memories
(2020-05-11)
A new quaternary FPGA (QFPGA) architecture based on floating-gate memory elements is presented and analyzed. While technology scaling has delivered substantial FPGAperformance, consumer demands grow beyond what binary ...
Practically Realizing Random Access Scan
(2006-05-15)
The number of clock cycles in a serial scan (SS) test is often prohibitive as the number of flip-flops (FF) increases. Besides, scan-in and scan-out sequences result in unwanted circuit activity. This increases the test ...
Predicting Generator Coupling Using Power System Impedance Matrices
(2006-05-15)
The combination of power flows on multiple lines constitutes a flowgate. Transmission flowgates are one tool being used to deal with wide-area stability issues because experience with dynamic simulation suggests that ...
Predicting Signal Probabilities Using Neural Networks to Improve Test Point Insertion
(2019-12-18)
This thesis presents an artificial neural network signal probability predictor for VLSI circuits that
considers reconvergent fan-outs. Testability analysis techniques are useful in the insertion of
testpoints to improve ...
Printed Circuit Board Sensor Technology: Rigid vs. Flexible vs. Additive Manufacturing
(2022-07-21)
There is no denying that printed circuit boards (PCB) have integrated themselves into all sorts of technology that we have today. They are in the computers on which we work, the appliances we use, and the sensors that ...
