Miniaturization Of Microstrip Patch Antennas For Gps Applications, Steven S. Holland Jan 2008

Miniaturization Of Microstrip Patch Antennas For Gps Applications, Steven S. Holland

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

The desire to incorporate multiple frequency bands of operation into personal communication devices has led to much research on reducing the size of antennas while maintaining adequate performance. GPS is one such application, where dual frequency operation, bandwidth and circular polarization pose major challenges when using traditional miniaturization techniques. Various loading methods have been studied to reduce the resonant frequency of the antenna – high permittivity dielectric loading, slot loading and cavity loading – while examining their effects on bandwidth and gain. The objective of this thesis is to provide guidelines on what is achievable using these miniaturization methods and …


A Process Variation Tolerant Self-Compensation Sense Amplifier Design, Aarti Choudhary Jan 2008

A Process Variation Tolerant Self-Compensation Sense Amplifier Design, Aarti Choudhary

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

As we move under the aegis of the Moore's law, we have to deal with its darker side with problems like leakage and short channel effects. Once we go beyond 45nm regime process variations also have emerged as a significant design concern.Embedded memories uses sense amplifier for fast sensing and typically, sense amplifiers uses pair of matched transistors in a positive feedback environment. A small difference in voltage level of applied input signals to these matched transistors is amplified and the resulting logic signals are latched. Intra die variation causes mismatch between the sense transistors that should ideally be identical …
