Low power digital baseband core for wireless Micro-Neural-Interface using CMOS sub/near-threshold circuit
(2013-12)
This thesis presents the work on designing and implementing a low power digital baseband core with custom-tailored protocol for wirelessly powered Micro-Neural-Interface (MNI) System-on-Chip (SoC) to be implanted within ...
Nanostructured thermoelectric materials and optical method for thermal conductivity measurement
(2013-07)
A good thermoelectric material has large electrical conductivity, large Seebeck coefficient, and small thermal conductivity. Among the different techniques to achieve small thermal conductivity is the nanostructuring method. ...
Metamaterial radiation from attenuated total reflection at terahertz frequencies
(2013-12)
The focus of this research was to explore the behavior of two-dimensional planar metamaterials or metafilms and understand the various excitation schemes for application of metafilms to Terahertz-Attenuated Total Reflection ...
Performance enhancement of micromachined thin-film piezoelectric-on-silicon lateral-extensional resonators through substrate and tether modifications
(2013-12)
Electromechanical resonators have formed the basis of telecommunication circuits for decades through the use of quartz crystal oscillators. Recently, MEMS resonators-based oscillators have become a possible replacement in ...
Frequency stability in thin-film piezoelectric-on-substrate oscillators
(2013-12)
For many years, crystal oscillators have been used as the de facto frequency reference in almost all electronic platforms because they offer excellent stability and superior phase noise. This is mainly due to the high ...
