Ultra low-power fault-tolerant SRAM design in 90nm CMOS technology
(2010-06)
With the increment of mobile, biomedical and space applications, digital systems with
low-power consumption are required. As a main part in digital systems, low-power memories are
especially desired. Reducing the power ...
Optimization in multi-relay wireless networks
(2009)
The concept of cooperation in communications has drawn a lot of research attention in recent years due to its potential to improve the efficiency of wireless networks. This new form of communications allows some users to ...
Carrier Recovery in burst-mode 16-QAM
(2004-06-16)
Wireless communication systems such as multipoint communication systems (MCS) are becoming attractive as cost-effective means for providing network access in sparsely populated, rugged, or developing areas of the world. ...
Optical properties of rare-earth doped fluorozirconate glass-ceramics for x-ray detector applications
(2010-06)
For high-resolution X-ray imaging scintillator applications, we have prepared and optically characterized divalent samarium doped fluorochlorozirconate (FCZ:Sm2+) glasses and glass-ceramics. Sm2+ doped FCZ glasses were ...
A PC-based data acquisition system for sub-atomic physics measurements
(2008)
Modern particle physics measurements are heavily dependent upon automated data acquisition systems (DAQ) to collect and process experiment-generated information. One research group from the University of Saskatchewan ...
Application of deterministic-probabilistic (D-P)criterion to bulk electric system planning
(2007-06-28)
Bulk electric system reliability assessment is an important activity in both vertically integrated and unbundled electric power utilities. The conventional deterministic N-1 criterion normally used in bulk electric system ...
Study of radiation-tolerant integrated circuits for space applications
(2010-05-14)
Integrated Circuits in space suffer from reliability problems due to the radiative surroundings. High energy particles can ionize the semiconductor and lead to single event effects. For digital systems, the transients can ...
Synchronization of weak indoor GPS signals with doppler frequency offset using a segmented matched filter and accumulation
(2009)
Recent government regulations for Enhanced 911 locating of wireless handsets require accuracy to within 50 and 300 meters. Two technologies under consideration are triangulation using existing wireless base stations and ...
Techniques for low-cost spectrum analysis on quadrature demodulation architectures
(2010-05)
The Decimator, an SED Systems Ltd. product, is a PCI slot card that performs both time and frequency domain measurements of given input signals. It is essentially a more economical version of a bench spectrum analyzer ...
Detection and segmentation of moving objects in video using optical vector flow estimation
(2008)
The objective of this thesis is to detect and identify moving objects in a video sequence. The currently available techniques for motion estimation can be broadly categorized into two main classes: block matching methods ...
