In recent years, the use of first-principles based atomistic modeling technique has become extremely popular to gain better insights on the various locally modulated electronic properties of nano materials and structures. ...

The conventional approach to validate the analog and mixed signal designs utilizes extensive SPICE-level simulations. The main challenge in this approach is to know when all important corner cases have been simulated. An ...

Mesh network is gaining importance as the next generation network for many high speed applications such as multimedia streaming. This is because it is easy and inexpensive to setup mesh networks with mobile and PDA devices ...

We address several problems that arise in a multihop wireless mesh network. First, we study the problem of joint congestion control, routing and MAC layer scheduling. We formulate the problem as an aggregate utility ...

This thesis focuses on the design and implementation of low power Σ∆ ADCs in 130 nanometer CMOS technology. The design issues in the implementation of a third order ADC with a multi-bit and single bit quantizer are discussed. ...

To achieve the goal of efficient ”anytime, anywhere” communication, it is essential to develop mobile devices which can efficiently support multiple wireless communication standards. Also, in order to efficiently accommodate ...

Current-Controlled Pulse Width Modulated (CC-PWM) Voltage Source Inverters (VSIs) are extensively employed in high performance drives (HPD) because of the considerable advantages offered by them, such as, excellent dynamic ...
