Ultra-Wideband Phased Arrays For Small Mobile Platforms, Alexander D. Johnson
Ultra-Wideband Phased Arrays For Small Mobile Platforms, Alexander D. Johnson
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation presents the development of a new class of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) apertures for aerial applications by introducing designs with over 50:1 bandwidth and novel differential feeding approaches. Designs that enable vertical integration for flip-chip millimeter-wave (UWB) transceivers are presented for small aerial platforms. Specifically, a new scalable tightly coupled array is introduced with differential feeding for chip integration. This new class of beam-forming arrays are fabricated and experimentally tested for validation with operation from as low as 130 MHz up to 18 GHz. A major achievement is the study of millimeter wave beamforming designs that operate from 22-80 GHz, …

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
It has become a dominant trend in industry to adopt cloud computing --thanks to its unique advantages in flexibility, scalability, elasticity and cost efficiency -- for providing online cloud services over the Internet using large-scale data centers. In the meantime, the relentless increase in demand for affordable and high-quality cloud-based services, for individuals and businesses, has led to tremendously high power consumption and operating expense and thus has posed pressing challenges on cloud service providers in finding efficient resource allocation policies.
Allowing several services or Virtual Machines (VMs) to commonly share the cloud's infrastructure enables cloud providers to optimize resource …
