The Optimization Of Amplifiers For Uwb Applications, Kyoung D. Kim
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
Optimizations of 0.18 μm and 0.5 μm MOSFET amplifiers without using inductors for UWB applications are presented. A 3 dB bandwidth from 3.1 GHz to 9.9 GHz with minimum 9.6 dB of transducer gain at 10.6 GHz and approximate 92.8 mWatts of total power consumption are achieved. The source and load impedances were 50 ohms. Also, the number of capacitors and resistors has been minimized. To predict characteristics more precisely, the pad capacitance is added to the output port. In addition, a different feedback topology is presented which gives a lower Noise Figure with maximum 7.73 dB at 10.6 GHz …

The Fourier transform involved in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging causes undesired sidelobes which obscure weak backscatters and affect the image clarity. These sidelobes can be suppressed without deteriorating the image resolution by smoothing functions known as windowing or apodization. Recently, the theory of orthogonal polynomials has gained considerable attention in signal processing applications. The window functions that are derived from the orthogonal polynomials have interesting sidelobe roll-off properties for better sidelobe apodization, hence it can be used for radar image enhancement. In this work, a new window is constructed from Jacobi orthogonal polynomials and its performance in SAR imaging …
Design And Performance Evaluation Of Switching Architectures For High-Speed Internet, Alvaro Munoz
Design And Performance Evaluation Of Switching Architectures For High-Speed Internet, Alvaro Munoz
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
The motivation for this thesis is the desire to build faster and scalable routers that efficiently handle the exponential traffic growth in the Internet. The Internet forwards information through a mesh of routers and switches, which has to keep up with the increasing demands of traffic. Shared-memory based switches are known to provide the best throughput-delay performance for a given memory size. In this thesis performance of commonly used memory-sharing schemes for the shared memory switches are evaluated under balanced and unbalanced bursty traffic. The scalability of shared-memory switches has been a research issue for quite sometime. One approach is …
