(1988)Considered in this thesis is the class of time-inhomogeneous Markov chains whose transition probabilities are proportional to nonnegative powers of a small, time-varying parameter. A new notion of order of recurrence is ...

(1997)Based on the lessons learned from the study of ALU-biasing arbitration, we present a novel, cost-effective queueing and scheduling algorithm, called Rotating Combined Queueing (RCQ), which can efficiently support a range ...

(1991)This thesis describes techniques for bandwidth enhancement for low-profile antennas. The first method involves the use of coupled resonators. In particular, two cavity-backed slot antennas are coupled through an aperture ...

(2008)In this thesis, we present a Bayesian approach to the problem of beamforming without accurate knowledge about the direction-of-arrival. Under the Bayesian formulation, the proposed beamformer is constructed as a mixture ...

(2001)Finally, kernel canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is developed to model nonlinear or high-order correlations between signals from two sources. Kernel CCA uses kernel principal component analysis (PCA), which elegantly ...

(2010-05-19)In this thesis, we propose BER-optimal analog-to-digital converters (ADC) where quantization levels and thresholds are set non-uniformly to minimize the bit-error rate (BER). This is in contrast to present-day ADCs which ...
