Threshold voltage extraction circuit
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
A novel optimally self-biasing MOSFET threshold-voltage (V[]) extractor circuit is presented. It implements the most popular industrial extraction algorithm of biasing a saturated MOSFET to the linear portion of its [] ...
Test point selection using wavelet transforms for mixed-signal circuit
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
With growing complexity of today's ICs, it is desirable to improve traditional testing methods to increase the throughput. If one can select a limited number of points to test the circuit from a given test pattern, the ...
Analog Rank-Order Filter using multiple-winners-take-all
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
I present an analog VLSI Rank Order Filter (ROF), capable of ranking a wide array of inputs. Implementation is achieved using two multiple-winners-take-all blocks that compute in parallel. Simulation and experimental results ...
Algorithms for revenue metering and their evaluation
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Power components are measured for revenue metering and other purposes such as power control and power factor compensation. The definitions of the power components (active, reactive and apparent power, as well as, power ...
Design and implementation of a high data rate wireless system using Low-Density Parity-Check codes
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The aim of this research is to design a high performance, high data rate, low cost wireless communications system for use in a typical outdoor environment. The use of Low-Density Parity-check (LDPC) codes as the forward ...
Effects of detector censoring in nominally Gaussian noise
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In this thesis, we consider the robustness and performance of a sensor system which detects a known constant signal in additive, mutually i.i.d., nominally Gaussian noise. The detector utilizes the Huber-type detector ...
Electrically long vertical interconnects for microwave circuits and antennas
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
As microwave circuit applications proliferate, they are being placed into many new, non-planar configurations. Any circuit using multiple circuit levels requires a vertical interconnect between the planes. Research on ...
Hierarchical implementation of a wireless communications system
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Personal communications devices, such as the cellular phone, currently dominate the field of wireless communications. Product specifications such as weight, battery life, and transmission capacity pertain to consumer and ...
Audio compression with non-uniform modulated complex lapped transform
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In the past 10 years, advances in audio compression have been tremendous. Lapped Orthogonal Transforms (LOT) and psychoacoustic properties have significantly improved performance of transform audio coders. As a result, ...
