Electrical characterization of germanium-silicon alloy
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Samples of strained germanium-silicon (Ge-Si) alloy were electrically characterized using resistivity and Hall-mobility measurements. The samples were obtained from a n-type Ge-Si strained epi-layer which was grown on a ...
A field programmable analog array for switched capacitor filters
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The advantage of using a semi-custom design approach over a fully custom design approach are a faster turnaround of circuit design, ease of use for the inexperienced engineer, and lower production costs. A semi-custom ...
Joint sequence estimation and synchronization using wavelet pulses in a communication system
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
A new kind of baseband pulse is introduced in a receiver using nonsynchronized uniform samples. The pulse is an orthonormal wavelet generated by a discrete filter. Its performance is examined by applying a sequence estimation ...
A direct AC-to-DC converter topology with high-frequency isolation
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
With the increasing need for source and load isolation for safer operation, higher power density (compact size), and higher power factor requirement in the modem computer power supplies and military applications, the power ...
Kinematic GPS positioning in a highway environment
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The global positioning system (GPS) is a satellite based navigation system which can give twenty-four hour three-dimensional worldwide coverage. The Differential GPS uses the NAVSTAR satellites and a beacon at a known site ...
Bit-serial RISC processing element for parallel processing
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Over the past five decades, electronic computers have gone through five generations of development. Each generation is distinguished by the tremendous improvement in performance over its predecessors. The improvements are ...
New approach to the fault location problem using synchronized sampling
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This thesis presents a new approach to solving the problem of fault location on a transmission line using synchronized data from both ends of the line. The synchronized phase voltage and current samples taken during the ...
Gossiping in distributed systems
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Exchange of information between various nodes in a distributed network can be useful to utilize the available resources effectively. Gossiping algorithms can be used for this purpose. We begin with a survey of various ...
An X-based spatial oxide growth visualization software for furnace characterization
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
used for developing the temperature contours inside the furnace. The resulting oxide thickness profiles generated can be viewed either as a color coded graph or portrayed in 3 dimensions. Several conveniences like a user ...
Automatic recognition codes for Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This thesis describes an automatic recognition code system designed for non-stop toll collection (part of Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems). The system uses Bose, Chaudhuri, and Hocquenghem (BCH) codes to encode the ...
