This thesis covers the microwave components and circuits employing coplanar waveguide (CPW), which is one of the most important transmission line media commonly used in current wireless communications. The research focuses on five different applications of CPW to be discussed in the following chapters. Chapter 1 is a historical review of CPW and its characteristics.

Retargeting a C Compiler for a DSP Processor
The purpose of this thesis is to retarget a C compiler for a DSP processor. Developing a new compiler from scratch is a major task. Instead, modifying an existing compiler so that it generates code for another target is a common way to develop compilers for new processors.This is called retargeting. This thesis describes how [...]
Implementation of a Scheduling and Allocation Algorithm for Hardware Evaluation
In this thesis, an intuitive approach to determine scheduling and allocation of a behavioral algorithm defined by a netlist is presented. In this approach, scheduling is based on a weighted list scheduling where operations have the longest critical path are scheduled first. The component allocations are resorted to the PDCPA algorithm which focus on making [...]
Electromagnetic wave scattering from an arbitrarily shaped bi-isotropic body of revolution
An efficient method for analyzing the scattering of electromagnetic waves from a bi-isotropic body is developed in this dissertation. Although the techniques developed is applicable for analyzing wave scattering from an arbitrarily shaped bi-isotropic body, it can hardly be used in an optimization process nor computer-aided product design because the computational time required for one [...]
Low Energy Wake-up Logic
Wake-up logic is responsible for informing instructions in the Window that are waiting to execute, about the availability of their input operands. The conventional method of wake-up consumes a significant percentage of the Instruction Window energy. Reducing the wake-up energy also addresses the Instruction Window hot spot problem caused due to the high power density [...]
myCACTI: A new cache design tool for pipelined nanometer caches
The presence of caches in microprocessors has always been one of the most important techniques in bridging the memory wall, or the speed gap between the microprocessor and main memory. This importance is continuously increasing especially as we enter the regime of nanometer process technologies (i.e. 90nm and below), as industry has favored investing a larger and larger fraction of a chip.
Complex networks : from topology to dynamics
Complex networks are ubiquitous in our real world, ranging from biological, social, to man-made networks. Regardless of the nature of a complex network, the topology of the network can be represented by nodes and edges in a certain connectivity structure. Therefore, topological structures of networks are the main issues for study in science and engineering. [...]
Design Space Re-Engineering for Power Minimization in Modern Embedded Systems
Power minimization is a critical challenge for modern embedded system design. Recently, due to the rapid increase of system’s complexity and the power density, there is a growing need for power control techniques at various design levels. Meanwhile, due to technology scaling, leakage power has become a significant part of power dissipation in the CMOS [...]
Faultdetection of a mechanical propulsion system
Detecting faults in a propulsion system in time can make great savings in maintenance and in avoiding succession errors. The object of this thesis is to design a fault detection system for three typical errors occurring with a squirrel cage induction motor. The errors in question are phase-shifted motors, motors with broken shrinkage fits and [...]
Genetic algorithms in multiobjective control designs
This thesis presents the use of Genetic Algorithms (GA) in the multiobjective control design problems. The theme is to devise the means and methods for such multiobjective problems based upon the intrinsic characteristics of GA. Control engineering problems often exist in the class of multiple objectives. In the conventional techniques, these problems are usually converted [...]
