Conformal Active Sheets
(2017-12-16)
Stretchable Electronics is an emerging class of electronics that allow electronics to be bent, conform, ex and stretch while still retaining its full functionality. Other than bending, existing and conforming, adding ...
Design and Characterization of SRAMs for Ultra Dynamic Voltage Scalable (U-DVS) Systems
(2017-11-29)
The ever expanding range of applications for embedded systems continues to offer new challenges (and opportunities) to chip manufacturers. Applications ranging from exciting high resolution gaming to routine tasks like ...
Network Coding for Wirless Relaying and Wireline Networks
(2017-12-10)
Network coding has emerged as an attractive alternative to routing because of the through put improvement it provides by reducing the number of channel uses. In a wireless scenario, in addition, further improvement can be ...
Generation of Modulated Microwave Signals using Optical Techniques for Onboard Spacecraft Applications
(2017-12-01)
This thesis deals with optical synthesis of unmodulated and modulated microwave signals. Generation of microwave signals based on optical heterodyning is discussed in detail.
The effect of phase noise of laser on heterodyned ...
Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators for Optical Networking and Sensing Applications
(2017-12-03)
Photonic bandgap structures have provided promising platform for miniaturization of modern integrated optical devices. In this thesis, a photonic crystal based ring resonator (PCRR) is proposed and optimized to exhibit ...
Time-based All-Digital Technique for Analog Built-in Self Test
(2017-11-30)
A scheme for Built-in-Self-Test (BIST) of analog signals with minimal area overhead, for measuring on-chip voltages in an all-digital manner is presented in this thesis. With technology scaling, the inverter switching times ...
Packet Scheduling on the Wireless Channel
(2017-12-07)
Scheduling has always been an indispensable part of resource allocation in wireless networks. Accurate information about channel-state is assumed as a modeling simplification. However, in a real-life network ,e.g., Long ...
Timbre Perception of Time-Varying Signals
(2017-12-10)
Every auditory event provides an information-rich signal to the brain. The signal constitutes perceptual attributes of pitch, loudness, timbre, and also, conceptual attributes like location, emotions, meaning, etc. In the ...
Space-Time Block Codes With Low Sphere-Decoding Complexity
(2017-05-04)
One of the most popular ways to exploit the advantages of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is using space time block coding. A space time block code (STBC) is a finite set of complex matrices whose entries ...
Bitrate Reduction Techniques for Low-Complexity Surveillance Video Coding
(2017-09-26)
High resolution surveillance video cameras are invaluable resources for effective crime prevention and forensic investigations. However, increasing communication bandwidth requirements of high definition surveillance videos ...
