Design and Investigation of Wide Frequency Tuning Range Millimeter-Wave Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO) in 65nm CMOS Technology
DownloadFall 2019
The available unlicensed spectrum in millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequencies has been a very attractive candidate for high data rate wireless communications, high-resolution radars, and imaging applications. Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO), which are essential building block of tunable...

Evaluation and Analysis of the Erosion Performance of Flame Spray-Coated Polyurethane Liners
DownloadFall 2016
Polyurethane has excellent wear resistance and is an effective protective liner against erosion caused by the impact of solid particles. However, similar to most polymeric materials, polyurethane has low thermal and electrical conductivity, and this limits its applicability for use in...
