A preference-based extension for the scalable consensus-based bandwidth allocation protocol in a multicast video conference environment
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis develops a protocol extension, the Preference-based Allocation eXtension for Layered Sources (PAXLS), to complement the existing Scalable ConsensUs based Bandwidth Allocation (SCUBA) protocol used in allocation ...
Modeling the probability of excitation and the defective part level as testing progresses
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The primary purpose of digital circuit manufacture testing is to detect defective parts so that they will not be sold to customers. Predicting the defective part level, which results after a set of test patterns has been ...
Low power RF CMOS phase-shifting dual modulus (16/17) prescaler
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This report describes the research work I undertook for my M.S. degree requirements. The conventional and phase-shifting architectures are compared. Problems with the phase-shifting architecture are analyzed and a new ...
An on-line human signature verification system
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
A study on human signature verification is presented. A literature survey of current and past methodologies for on-line signature verification is followed by a new approach to the problem of on-line signature verification. ...
Generation of high peak power pulse using 2 stage erbium-doped fiber amplifier
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis presents the results obtained from generation of high repetition rate, high power output pulse using an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). Two stage amplification was employed. The first stage setup used 980nm ...
Power transaction issues in deregulated power systems
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
With the introduction of the deregulation in the power industry, it becomes possible to wheel power across the transmission network. Hence, some issues involving the network's physical capability to transfer power and the ...
Development of a methodology to discriminate incipient insulator faults from distribution system load
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Insulator failure has long plagued transmission and distribution system power quality. The failure process begins when airborne contamination combines with moisture from atmospheric wetting to form a conductive pollution ...
Maximum likelihood sequence estimation for multipath fading channels
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis addresses receiver design for multipath fading channels. The channel model was chosen to closely resemble a typical land mobile fading channel. Three receivers will be compared in this work. The first will ...
Sensorless performance evaluation of induction motors
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In this thesis, various aspects of induction motor performance are discussed. The importance of the speed-torque curve for an induction motor system and its various applications are emphasized. Difficulties in the presently ...
Application of evolutionary algorithms and neural networks to electromagnetic inverse problems
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This research investigates the imaging of buried two-dimensional objects (conducting cylinders and air tunnels) of various shapes, by processing the scattered electromagnetic field under Transverse Magnetic (TM) and ...
