Analysis and design of cylindrically symmetric surface emitting DBR lasers
(1992)
In optical fiber communications, long-distance, low -interference communication links have been realized through the development of both low-loss, single-mode fibers and high output power single-mode diode lasers. Three ...
Yield and variability optimization of integrated circuits : principles and practical solutions
(1992)
This dissertation deals with both theoretical and practical aspects of integrated circuits (IC's) statistical design. It stresses and explains that the essential difference between IC statistical design and discrete circuit ...
Dynamic accuracy considerations in Flash A/D converters
(1992)
Flash conversion remains a necessary choice for high-speed Analog-to-Digital (A/D) conversion, despite its many disadvantages. Such conversion, by nature, involves 2^N sampling elements for an N bit converter. The differences ...
Applications of the fourier transform path integral method
(1993)
The goal of this project was to investigate the kinetics of baculovirus-infected .insect cell cultures. The cell death process of baculovirus-infected insect cells was divided into two phases: a constant viability (or ...
Sensor elimination and converter topology simplification in switched reluctance motor drives for commercial applications
(1993)
Advantages of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives make it an attractive alternative candidate for replacing adjustable speed ac and dc drives in both industrial and consumer applications. The SRM drive system consists ...
Modeling and design of all-optical integrated logic devices using the novel Local Interpolatory Cardinal Spline method
(1993)
A novel numerical method, hereafter called the Local Interpolatory Cardinal Spline (LICS) method, is developed to model and simulate the behavior of optical wave propagation in a nonlinear medium. The architecture of this ...
Experimental and theoretical study on 35 GHz rf-to-dc power conversion receiver for millimeter-wave beamed power transmission
(1993)
35 GHz power conversion receivers were developed through theoretical analyses and experiments. The theoretical analyses included the derivation o f a mathematical model for conversion efficiency, the calculation o f diode ...
Spatio-temporal neural networks in High Impedance Fault detection
(1994)
The tim ely detection and isolation of High Impedance Faults(HIFs) are im portan t to ensure the safety of the public and the property around power distribution lines. The existing protection measures are highly inadequate ...
Maximum likelihood sequence estimation via the expectation maximization algorithm in the presence of random phase and amplitude fading
(1994)
The expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm was first introduced in the statistics literature as an iterative procedure that under some conditions produces maximum likelihood (ML) parameter estimates. Here we investigate ...
