Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits for Wireless and Wireline Communications 

Kakani, Vasanth (2007-12-15)
This dissertation presents my studies in design of high frequency circuits for wireless and wireline communication systems. As a part of this effort a seven tap transversal filter has been designed using broadband amplifiers. ...

Reconfigurable RF Receiver Frontends for Multi-Standard Radios 

Noori, Hossein (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 ...

A Study of the Viability of RF MEMS for the Implementation of a Single-Chip Programmable RF Front End for Software Defined Radio Femto Cells 

Hurtarte, Jorge (2009-04-28)
The RF front end circuitry makes up over 60% of the cost of a base transceiver station (BTS, also referred as Node B in 3G networks). Included in this cost is that of the Power Amplifier unit, RF filters, and the GPS unit ...

Thermal Performance of Ball Grid Arrays and Thin Interface Materials 

El-Kady, Yasser (2005-08-15)
Current electronic packages exhibit very high and ever increasing power densities. That trend mandates the need for enhanced thermal performance. This study introduces a state of the art apparatus to measure thermal ...

Vibration Analysis Of Test Chips With Integrated Piezoresistive Stress Sensors 

Gore, Kapil (2006-08-15)
Vibration analysis of the WB200 test chip containing an array of optimized piezoresistive stress sensor rosettes has been performed. The test chip was attached to the printed circuit board with an underfill encapsulant ...

Weak Signal Reception Using Software Defined Radios and a Two-Element Antenna Array 

Rundquist, Victor (2006-12-15)
Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a quickly emerging technology. SDR removes the signal processing task from the analog hardware portion of a radio and places it into the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) domain. Many ...
