During the Vietnam War, the United States Air Force had performed inconsistently and after the war was faced with a number of challenges. Many of the Air Force senior leadership felt that the challenges could be resolved ...
RF Characterization and Modeling of 14nm RF FinFETs
(2019-12-04)
This work focuses on the characterization and compact
modeling of RF characteristics of both n- and p-channel transistors fabricated using 14-nm FinFET technologies.
DC I-V, as well as its higher order derivatives, C-V, ...
RF Design and Analysis of a Novel Elliptical Reduced Surface Wave Antenna for Wireless Applications
(2010-04-02)
The Reduced Surface Wave (RSW) antenna is a relatively new class of microstrip patch
antenna. An RSW antenna has the ability to drastically reduce both surface and lateral wave
radiation, which leads to an increase in ...
RF Linearity Analysis In Nano Scale CMOS Using Harmonic Balance Device Simulations
(2005-12-15)
In this thesis, Intermodulation Linearity characteristics of CMOS have been
analyzed using power series and Harmonic Balance(HB) Method. Harmonic Bal-
ance method is a frequency domain steady state analysis method used ...
RF Reconfigurable Filter
(2017-04-15)
In this paper, a fully differential noise-cancelling LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) with out-of-band rejection notch filter combined with a programmable gain-boost N-path bandpass filter is proposed. The wide-band noise-cancelling ...
RF Sensing for Internet of Things: When Machine Learning Meets Channel State Information
(2018-07-24)
With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) techniques, RF sensing has found wide applications for, e.g., indoor localization, activity recognition, and healthcare. In this dissertation, we investigate the problem ...
RFIC Design for Software-Defined Radio Receiver Frontend
(2013-11-11)
This thesis presents an RF receiver frontend with a 4-path passive mixer for software defined radio (SDR) applications. By utilizing frequency translation property of the passive mixer, the out of band interference experiences ...
RFID data cleansing with Bayesian Filters
(2017-01-09)
People spend a significant amount of time in indoor spaces (e.g.,
office buildings, subway systems, etc.) in their daily lives.
Therefore, it is important to develop efficient indoor spatial query
algorithms for supporting ...
Rheological and Chemical Evaluation of Aging Resistant Binder Technologies
(2022-05-02)
Asphalt binder is a dark-colored cementitious hydrocarbon material, with a complex chemical composition that is heavily dependent on crude oil source and manufacturing process. Binder chemistry has been modelled as a ...
Rheology, Structure, and Stability of Carbon Nanotube-Unsaturated Polyester Resin Dispersions
(2008-12-15)
In this research, the first detailed study characterizing the dispersion of carbon nanotubes into an isophthalic unsaturated polyester resin was performed. To eludicate the potential for mechanical property enhancement, ...
Rhetoric, Ethics, and Health Identities in the FDA's Drug Approval Process
(2022-07-12)
This dissertation examines how health identities are rhetorically constructed and discursively taken up in the FDA’s new drug application (NDA) documents. The project specifically focuses on approval processes related to ...
