Ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC) is a novel use case of 5G. It has challenging requirements like such as low block error rates (BLERs) and stringent latency targets. Multi-connectivity, in which multiple ...

To meet the ever-growing demand for higher data rates in communication networks and higher range and velocity resolutions in automotive radar sensors, fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) transceivers and radars used in ...

Silicon Carbide MOSFETs (SiC MOSFETs) fall into the class of wide band gap (WBG) power devices. These devices are commercially available in the voltage range of 600-3300V and superior over the state of the art Si insulated ...

This thesis presents error correcting codes in the setting of distributed storage. The codes presented in this thesis are optimal with respect to the minimum distance bound and have a finite field size which grows ...

The transistor scaling is witness to many extraordinary inventions during its consecutive miniaturization. The journey began from Dennard’s classical constant field scaling, crossing through the milestones like strain ...

In wideband wireless communication systems, the relative motion of the transmitter, receiver, or scatterers in the medium causes the Doppler effect, which stretches or compresses the transmitted waveforms, resulting in ...

For the last four decades, silicon CMOS technology has captured a significant share in IC, smart power IC, SoC, and the power device market. But there is aggressive research on other materials such as graphene & similar ...

In this thesis, we consider communication systems having energy, delay and reliability constraints. We characterize optimal communication rates achievable over these systems. First we consider point-to-point communication ...
