Statistical analysis of multiuser and narrowband interference and superior system designs for impulse radio ultra-wide bandwidth wireless
DownloadFall 2011
Ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) wireless is a fast emerging technology which exploits major advances and offers unprecedented opportunity to impact wireless communications. In UWB systems, several users should coexist viably in the same coverage area. The multiuser interference (MUI) caused by...

Stochastic Computational Approaches for the Reliability Evaluation of Nanoelectronic Circuits
DownloadSpring 2012
Reliability is fast becoming a major concern due to the nanometric scaling of CMOS technology. This thesis work initially presents novel computational models based on stochastic computation; in these models, probabilities are encoded in the statistics of random binary bit streams. A computational...

Stochastic Computational Models for Gene Regulatory Networks and Dynamic Fault Tree Analysis
DownloadFall 2015
Originally proposed in the 1960s, stochastic computation uses random binary bit streams to encode signal probabilities. Stochastic computation enables the implementation of basic arithmetic functions using simple logic elements. Here, the application of stochastic computation is extended to the...
