Generalized 'Probe' Model For Arbitrary Dephasing Mechanisms, Supriyo Datta Nov 1991

Generalized 'Probe' Model For Arbitrary Dephasing Mechanisms, Supriyo Datta

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

It has been shown earlier that in the linear response regime, dephasing by point scatterers (within the self-consistent Born approximation) can be visualized in terms of point voltage probes attached to each space and energy coordinate (r,E). In this paper we derive a generalized linear response equation starting from the non-equilibrium Green function formalism that can be used to describe any dephasing process in any approximation. The dephasing is characterized by a 'reservoir function' which can be evaluated from the self-energy. The linear response equation can be visualized in terms of voltage probes but with individual probes connected to each …

Laser Bandwidth-Induced Fluctuations In The Intensity Transmitted By A Fabry-Perot Interferometer, Gerhard Klimeck, Daniel Elliott, M. Hamilton Sep 1991

Laser Bandwidth-Induced Fluctuations In The Intensity Transmitted By A Fabry-Perot Interferometer, Gerhard Klimeck, Daniel Elliott, M. Hamilton

Birck and NCN Publications

We have measured the power spectrum of the intensity Auctuations of light transmitted by a Fabry- Perot interferometer when the input field is the real Gaussian field. The real Gaussian field is a field characterized by real, random (Gaussian) amplitude Auctuations. The bandwidth of the real Gaussian field was varied, taking on values less than that of the interferometer, as well as greater. Comparisons of the measured spectra with calculated spectra are quite satisfactory. Of special interest is a feature in the spectra centered at the laser-interferometer detuning frequency.

Exploiting Fine-Grain Concurrency Analytical Insights In Superscalar Processor Design, Pradeep K. Dubey, George B. Adams Iii, Michael J. Flynn Aug 1991

Exploiting Fine-Grain Concurrency Analytical Insights In Superscalar Processor Design, Pradeep K. Dubey, George B. Adams Iii, Michael J. Flynn

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This dissertation develops analytical models to provide insight into various design issues associated with superscalar-type processors, i.e., the processors capable of executing multiple instructions per cycle. A survey of the existing machines and literature has been completed with a proposed classification of various approaches for exploiting fine-grain concurrency. Optimization of a single pipeline is discussed based on an analytical model. The model-predicted performance curves are found to be in close proximity to published results using simulation techniques. A model is also developed for comparing different branch strategies for single-pipeline processors in terms of their effectiveness in reducing branch delay. The …


Blockwise Transform Image Coding Enhancement And Edge Detection, Sabzali Aghagolzadeh Aug 1991

Blockwise Transform Image Coding Enhancement And Edge Detection, Sabzali Aghagolzadeh

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The goal of this thesis is high quality image coding, enhancement and edge detection. A unified approach using novel fast transforms is developed to achieve all three objectives. Requirements are low bit rate, low complexity of implementation and parallel processing. The last requirement is achieved by processing the image in small blocks such that all blocks can be processed simultaneously. This is similar to biological vision. A major issue is to minimize the resulting block effects. This is done by using proper transforms and possibly an overlap-save technique. The bit rate in image coding is minimized by developing new results …


Tree-Structured Nonlinear Adaptive Signal Processing, C. S. Ravishankar, Saul B. Gelfand, Edward J. Delp Aug 1991

Tree-Structured Nonlinear Adaptive Signal Processing, C. S. Ravishankar, Saul B. Gelfand, Edward J. Delp

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In communication systems, nonlinear adaptive filtering has become increasingly popular in a variety of applications such as channel equalization, echo cancellation and speech coding. However, existing nonlinear adaptive filters such as polynomial (truncated Volterra series) filters and multilayer perceptrons suffer from a number of problems. First, although high Order polynomials can approximate complex nonlinearities, they also train very slowly. Second, there is no systematic and efficient way to select their structure. As for multilayer perceptrons, they have a very complicated structure and train extremely slowly Motivated by the success of classification and regression trees on difficult nonlinear and nonparametfic problems, …


Efficient Importance Sampling Simulations For Digital Communication Systems, Jyun-Cheng Chen Aug 1991

Efficient Importance Sampling Simulations For Digital Communication Systems, Jyun-Cheng Chen

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Importance sampling is a- modified. Monte Carlo simulation technique which can dramatically reduce the computational cost of the Monte Carlo method. A complete development is presented for its use in the estimation of bit error rates /V for digital communication systems with small Gaussian noise inputs. Emphasis is on the optimal mean-translation Gaussian simulation density function design and the event simulation method as applied to systems which employ quasi-regular trellis codes. These codes include the convolutional codes and many TCM (Ungerboeck) codes. Euclidean distance information of a code is utilized to facilitate the simulation. Also, the conditional importance sampling technique …
