(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Hard disk drive applications require a high Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR), 6-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) at conversion rates of 1GHz and beyond. This work proposes a robust, fault-tolerant scheme to achieve ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)In this thesis, a 6-beam combiner using multiplexed holograms in dye-doped polymer is investigated. It is realized by recording six superimposed holographic gratings, which show uniform diffraction efficiency. The coupled ...
-
(1986)The programmable read only memory (PROM) is a valuable piece of hardware in today's fast-growing microcomputer industry because of its large memory capacity and its speed. This project involves the production and testing ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The electric power systems in U.S. Navy ships supply energy to sophisticated systems for weapons, communications, navigation and operation. The reliability and survivability of a Shipboard Power System (SPS) are critical ...
-
(1995)The Inverted Pendulum System, which consists of a two-dimensional inverted pendulum mounted on a motor driven cart, is a very good model to describe an unstable system. The objective of our research is to keep the pendulum ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)It has been previously shown that DNA computing can solve those problems currently intractable on even the fastest electronic computers. The algorithm design for DNA computing, however, is not straightforward. A strong ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)This dissertation proposes a novel control technique for power density maximization of the brushless DC (BLDC) generator which is a nonsinusoidal power supply system. In a generator of given rating, the weight and size of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Fuel cell power generation systems provide a clean alternative to the conventional fossil fuel based systems. Fuel cell systems have a high efficiency and use easily available hydrocarbons like methane. Moreover, since ...

(2010-07-14)Three-dimensional (3D) polymer structures are very attractive because the extra structural dimension can provide denser integration and superior performance to accomplish complex tasks. Successful fabrication of 3D multilayer ...
-
(1982)This study presents an automated integrated circuit and printed circuit routing algorithm based on barycentric embedding. This algorithm deals with circuits which are represented as graphs. In order to utilize this barycentric ...
-
(1987)Conventional CAD tools are brought into use late in the design process after much of the functional operation of a circuit has been defined. A new type of design environment must be created to aid the engineer from goal ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)As one of the major building blocks in a wireless receiver, the Analog-to-Digital Interface (ADI) provides link and transition between the analog Radio Frequency (RF) frontend and the baseband Digital Signal Processing ...
