The Universal Classifier Synchronizer (UCS) is a Cognitive Radio system/sensor that can detect, classify, and extract the relevant parameters from a received signal to establish physical layer communications using the ...

Interferometric optical fiber sensors have proved many orders of magnitude more sensitive than their electrical counterparts, but they suffer from limitations in signal demodulation caused by phase ...

The goal of software-defined radio (SDR) is to move the processing of radio signals from the analog domain to the digital domain â to use digital microchips instead of analog circuit components. Until faster, higher-precision ...

As traditional control schemes, open-loop Hysteresis and closed-loop pulse-width-modulation (PWM) have been used for the switched reluctance motor (SRM) current controller. The Hysteresis controller induces large unpleasant ...

The use of computers in the modern world has become prevalent in all aspects of life. The size of these machines has decreased dramatically while the capability has increased exponentially. A special DC-DC converter ...

Characterization and modeling of devices at high drive levels often requires specialized equipment and measurement techniques. Many large-signal devices will never have traditional nonlinear models because model development ...

Methods of guiding magnetic particles in a controlled fashion through the arterial system in vivo using external magnetic fields are explored. Included are discussions of applications, magnetic field properties needed to ...

Exploring RF models for an integrated power electronics module (IPEM) is crucial to analyzing and predicting its EMI performance. This thesis deals with the parasitics extraction approach for an active IPEM in a frequency ...

Miniature Autonomous Underwater Vehicles are a major area of research and development today. Because of their size and agility, they are capable of exploring and operating in smaller bodies of water in addition to areas ...

Continuous advances in VLSI technology have led to more complex digital designs and shrinking transistor sizes. Due to these developments, design verification and manufacturing test have gained more importance and 70 % of ...
