Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Analog and digital signals both play a vital role in electrical engineering and the technology of today. As the role of electrical and computer engineers becomes more deeply involved in the development of new technology, an understanding of how these signals are utilized, and what they represent, is a necessity. Due to the inherent limitations involved with analog signals, there is a need for these signals to be accurately and efficiently converted to digital signals for processing. The job of the analog-to-digital converter, or ADC, is to receive this analog input signal (voltage or current) and create a digital representation …

Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Wireless sensing networks (WSNs) collect analog information transduced into the form of a voltage or current. This data is typically converted into a digital representation of the value and transmitted wirelessly using various modulation techniques. As the available power and size is limited for wireless sensor nodes in many applications, a medium resolution Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is proposed to convert a sensed voltage with moderate speeds to lower power consumption. Specifications also include a rail-to-rail input range and minimized errors associated with offset, gain, differential nonlinearity, and integral nonlinearity. To achieve these specifications, an 8-bit successive approximation register ADC is …
