Static power conversion techniques for unique energy devices
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Solar power, fuel cells, and supercapacitors are some hics. of the new energy devices that are being used today in various power applications. The first two of these devices are exciting alternative sources of clean energy. ...
Performance comparison of native ATM vs IP over ATM
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
engineers through its high bandwidth and multi traffic support. The robustness of the Internet Protocol (115 contributed to massive increase in Internet hosts globally. IP is a connectionless protocol as opposed to ATM, ...
Maximum-likelihood carrier estimation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The octagonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) phics. signaling is proven to be an elective way to overcome the effects of fading channel and multi-path by dividing the frequency selective fading channel into a number ...
Performance of OFDM and wavelet-packet based multicarrier communication
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The multicarrier communication is studied. Two special forms -OFDM multicarrier communication and wavelet-packet based multicarrier communication are presented. Multicarrier communication is the principle of transmitting ...
Performance comparison of alternative fuzzy control modalities
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Through the medium of computer simulation, this thesis documents thorough performance caparisons of several different fuzzy control schemes, using a standard problem in the literature, the inverted pendulum. In order to ...
Adaptive code generators for tree coding of speech
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Tree coding is a promising way of obtaining good performance for medium-to-low rate speech coding. The key part of a tree coder is the code generator which consists of a short-term predictor and a long-term predictor. The ...
Design and analysis of a fault tolerant network processor
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This thesis investigates the effect of transient faults on a processor and proposes on-chip fault tolerant design techniques to improve its reliability. The target processor is a general 32-bit, four stage pipeline, dual ...
VLSI implementation of a chaotic encryption algorithm with applications to secure communications
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Chaos has been emerging as a phenomenon that Micrographics. researchers claim can be applied in the communications area for security purposes. Several implementations of chaos schemes ranging from simple masking of an ...
Measurement-based study of failures in a UNIX server
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This thesis presents a measurement-based dependability ics. study of a UNIX server. The event logs of a UNIX server are collected to form a dependability data basis. Message logs spanning approximately eleven months were ...
Neural networks for fast image compression
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The image compression system aims at reducing the graphics. number of bits transmitted as well as keeping the fidelity of the image, such that at the receiver, the reconstructed image will have little distortion. The design ...
