The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate that a pulse-width-modulated static compensator is capable of performing three-phase load balancing and power factor correction. An unbalanced load is analysed using sequence ...

This thesis describes a design and implementation of a Viterbi decoder using FPGA technology. We use the sliding block filtering concept, the pipeline interleaving technique and the forward processing method to construct ...

Here we present a technique, the Schottky Scanning Capacitance Microscopy (SSCM) developed by the University of Manitoba SPM lab, for measuring carrier profiles on semiconductor device cross-sections. SSCM utilizes a sharp ...

A delay line phase shifter for the 30-70 GHz range is presented that uses an aluminum micro-ribbon array fabricated in the ground plane of a microstrip transmission line. Phase shift is achieved by changing the propagation ...

Imaging of current in internal conductors through magnetic field detection by magnetic force microscopy (MFM) is of growing interest in the analysis of integrated circuits (ICs). This thesis presents a systematic study of ...

This thesis reports on the investigations of resistive-capacitive (RC) loaded bow-tie antennas with special emphasis on impulse ground penetrating radar applications. Impulse radiation for ground penetrating radar is a ...

It is shown how the two-dimensional equations for microwave planar circuits, which are in fact a generalization of the one-dimensional telegraphists' equations, can be derived through a rigorous theory based on Maxwell's ...

This dissertation describes the design and implementation of a system that has been designed to extract 3D information from pairs of 2D images. System input consists of two images taken by an ordinary digital camera. System ...
