Spring 2019
The bandwidth equipment for future high-data-rate wireless communication systems can only be met by development of these systems at millimeter wave frequencies and beyond because of bandwidth scarcity in crowded low GHz frequencies. In the millimeter wave spectrum, 60-GHz band offers 7-GHz of...

Design of Natural Ventilation Optimal Control System to Achieve Desirable Room Temperature and to Tolerate Uncertain Variants
DownloadSpring 2023
Natural ventilation models are becoming increasingly popular with increasing environmental awareness and the adverse effect of mechanical ventilation systems on the environment. Though simple in their working principle, natural ventilation models are challenging to control in meeting the thermal...

Design of Optimal Frameworks for Wideband/Multichannel Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks
DownloadSpring 2011
Several optimal detection frameworks for wideband/multichannel spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks are proposed. All frameworks search for multiple secondary transmission opportunities over a number of narrowband channels, enhancing the secondary network performance while respecting the...

Fall 2019
The “Internet of Things” (IoT) promises to extend internet connectivity to billions of devices. A large number of these devices, such as wireless sensors, that will be wirelessly connected to the internet will not have a wired connection to the electricity grid relying on the energy stored in the...

Spring 2019
This thesis describes new configurations of traveling wave antenna arrays. The ability of traveling wave antennas to integrate radiating element with transmission line in one single device which can be easily fed, are among reasons for popularity of such structures. Leaky-wave antennas (LWA) can...

Fall 2021
Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures are widely used in streetlighting owing to their durability, high luminous efficacy, and low power consumption. LED drivers which are ac/dc converters are required as an interface between the LEDs and the grid voltage. There are certain requirements mandated by...

Design, Analysis, and Control of the Modular Multilevel DC/DC Converter for Medium- and High-Voltage DC Grids
DownloadFall 2022
Nowadays, renewable energy sources have gained escalating importance due to environmental and economic reasons. However, these energy sources are primarily located in remote areas and distant from load centers. High-voltage dc (HVDC) and medium-voltage dc (MVDC) systems have been proposed in the...

Fall 2018
As very important modules in a processor, arithmetic circuits often play a pivotal role in determining the performance and power dissipation of a demanding computation. The demand for higher speed and power efficiency, as well as the desirability for error resilience in many applications (e.g.,...

Design, Fabrication, and Testing of High-Frequency High-Numerical-Aperture Annular Array Transducer for Improved Depth-of-Field Photoacoustic Microscopy
DownloadSpring 2012
Researchers have been using single-element transducers for photoacoustic microscopy (PAM), but such systems have limited depth-of-field due to single focus. This project was to develop a high-frequency annular array transducer for improved depth-of-field PAM. We have designed a concave 40 MHz...
