Phase Locked Loop Analysis and Design
(2009-02-23)
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) ...
Hierarchical Fault Collapsing for Logic Circuits
(2008-09-09)
The process of grouping stuck-at faults into equivalence or dominance classes and
then selecting one representative for each class is known as fault collapsing. There
have been several techniques to collapse the faults ...
Built-In Self-Test of the Programmable Interconnect in Field Programmable Gate Arrays
(2008-09-09)
Testing programmable interconnect resources in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is difficult because of the large number of wire segments and switches that must be tested. The adoption of Built-In Self-Test (BIST) ...
An Energy-Efficient Transmission Power Control Protocol for Cooperative Robotics
(2008-09-09)
Severe energy constraints inherent in multi-robot networks dictate that communication be performed as efficiently as possible to enable longer network lifetime and successful task execution. Therefore, energy-aware ...
Design of MEMS-Based Tunable Antennas, Organic Transistors and MEMS-Based Organic Control Circuits
(2008-09-09)
The advent of precision three-dimensional micromachining technologies in the last couple of decades has seen the birth of an exciting and potentially revolutionary field called Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS). ...
Built-In Self-Test Configurations for Field Programmable Gate Array Cores in Systems on Chip
(2008-09-09)
Built-In Self-Test configurations for the logic and routing resources present in the
Field Programmable Gate Array core of a System-on-Chip is presented in this Thesis.
These configurations completely test the Programmable ...
Modeling and Scaling Limitations of SiGe HBT Low-Frequency Noise and Oscillator Phase Noise
(2008-09-09)
This dissertation presents modeling of SiGe HBT low-frequency noise and oscillator phase noise, and examines their limitations posed by technology scaling. A new method of extracting low-frequency noise, inverse circuit ...
MAC and Routing Protocols for Multi-Hop Cognitive Radio Networks
(2008-09-09)
Cognitive radio networks that allow dynamic spectrum access are considered spectrally more efficient than networks using fixed spectral allocation. These networks are characterized by dynamically changing channel sets at ...
One Dimensional Zinc Oxide Nanostructures for Optoelectronics Applications: Solar Cells and Photodiodes
(2008-09-09)
Several different morphologies of one-dimensional (1-D) ZnO nanostructured arrays can be controllably synthesized using novel thermal chemical vapor deposition at low temperatures. Well aligned and two dimensional periodic ...
Reconvergent Fanout Analysis of Bounded Gate Delay Faults
(2008-09-09)
To determine the quality that a set of gate delay tests provides for testing gate delay faults, gate delay fault simulation must determine the minimum size detectable for detected gate delay faults. The minimum size ...
