Fall 2011
Present-day economic and environmental constraints push power systems to be operated closer to their limits. A common limiting factor for power transmission is the risk of voltage instability in recent years. As the ultimate countermeasure to voltage collapse, load shedding is normally considered...

Spring 2011
Receiving false and nuisance alarms is a well known problem in industrial alarm systems. The main cause of this problem is poor alarm design which is the result of huge number of configured alarms and lack of automatic and analytical design methods. This study targets deriving analytical methods...

An examination of linking and blocking procedures for use in deflection cantilever array-based protein detection
DownloadFall 2011
In this project common linking and blocking procedures were examined for use in multiplexed deflection cantilever array-based detection of proteins. A human interferon gamma (INF-γ) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the linking and blocking...

Fall 2011
A novel equalization scheme for signals transmitted over multipath Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) channels, well-suited for iterative processing, is proposed in this work. This method, dubbed Extended Jointly Gaussian Approach (extended JGA), provides an interesting trade-off between...

Fall 2011
This thesis work focuses on the investigation of utilizing magnetoresistance phenomena in ferromagnetic metals to control the propagation of terahertz electromagnetic radiation confined to subwavelength structures. The purpose of this investigation is to study these phenomena as a potential...

Fall 2011
Integrated photonics have received much attention in recent years as there is a concerted effort towards achieving Very-Large-Scale-Integration of optical components. One of the key elements enabling such dense integration is the optical microring resonator, which has found pervasive applications...

Spring 2011
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) has been employed in several current and future 4-th generation (4G) wireless standards. Frequency offsets in OFDM introduce intercarrier interference (ICI). Channel estimations are also required. This thesis focuses on the channel and frequency...

Fall 2011
Wireless relay networking is a highly active research field. Several relay standards have been or are being specified for next-generation mobile broadband communication systems. Channel estimates are required by wireless nodes to perform essential tasks such as precoding, beamforming and data...

Fall 2011
To accomplish coherent relaying schemes in cooperative relay networks, accurate channel state information (CSI) is essential. To get such CSI, channel training is employed in practice. In this thesis project, we perform theoretical analysis on channel training design and training-based decoding...

Spring 2011
The glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique is now used by over one hundred research groups, each requiring a fundamental understanding of and new techniques for modulating the properties of GLAD in order to optimize their results. In this thesis, the structural characteristics of...
