This dissertation presents design and implementation of continuous time analog filters for two specific applications: wideband analog systems such as disk drive channel and low-power wireless applications. Specific focus ...

The instrumentation amplifier (IA) is one of the crucial blocks in an electrocardiogram recording system. It is the first block in the analog front-end chain that processes the ECG signal from the human body and thus it ...

A low power implementation of a CMOS frequency synthesizer at 12 GHz is an important step to improve the efficiency of a wireless transceiver in this frequency band. Since synthesizers are often employed as reference ...

A fully differential Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) consisting of complementary differential pairs with source degeneration, a current gain stage with programmable current ...

A low profile road barrier that minimizes obstruction to vision and the ramping and rolling of automobiles which may be comprised of one or more interconnected concrete barrier segments stationed along the road or cast in ...

A recent development of the NASA Airfoil Research Program is a family of new high lift, low drag airfoils for application on general aviation aircraft. This study analyzes one of these airfoils, the 13% thick GA(W)-2, as ...

A fuzzy adaptive feedforward control scheme in conjunction with classical feedback control is proposed for the low speed control of DC motors driving mechanical systems in the presence of friction. In the fuzzy adaptive ...

Using low-stress methods of handling dairy cattle is efficient in terms of time and labor. This publication explains how cattle's natural instincts affect their responses, and ways handlers can use that knowledge to make ...

The nature of long term, low temperamre hydrothermal alteration of the ocean crust has remained elusive, due mainly to the limited scope of previous studies, which used single or a very few 011 holes and samples representing ...
