Three phase load balancing and power factor correction using a pulse width modulated static compensator
(2001-05-01)
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 ...
High-speed Viterbi decoder design and implementation with FPGA
(2000-12-01)
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 ...
Development of a ZeptoFarad (10S-2[1] F) resolution capacitance sensor for scanning capacitance microscopy
(2001-05-01)
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 ...
MEMS micro-ribbons for integrated ground plane microstrip delay line phase shifter
(2008-01-18)
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 ...
Magnetic force microscopy imaging of current paths in integrated circuits with overlayers
(2007-09-14)
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 ...
Investigations of rc-loaded bow-tie antennas for impulse ground penetrating radar applications
(2006-09-19)
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 ...
Two-dimensional equations for the analysis of microstrip line dispersion and step discontinuities
(2000-07-01)
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 ...
2D to 3D conversion with direct geometrical search and approximation spaces
(2007-09-14)
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 ...
