(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) Ultimately, this thesis presents two approaches to frequency synthesizer design. The first uses frequency windows of approximately 200 MHz. The 800 MHz to 1 GHz matching network is presented in detail along with ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Changing aircraft operational procedures is one strategy that can be used to reduce fuel burn and mitigate environmental impacts of aviation in relatively short timeframes with existing aircraft types. One promising ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Future space structures such as solar power stations and telescopes are expected to be very large. These structures will require on-orbit construction. Due to the risks and costs of human extravehicular work, teams of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The International Civil Aviation Organization is considering the use of cost-benefit analyses to estimate interdependencies between the industry costs and the major environmental impacts in policy-making for aviation. To ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Computer aided design has allowed many design decisions to be made before hardware is built through "virtual" prototypes: computer simulations of an engineering design. To produce robust systems noise factors must also be ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A pseudospectral method for solving nonlinear optimal control problems is proposed in this thesis. The method is a direct transcription that transcribes the continuous optimal control problem into a discrete nonlinear ...
