Sources of Non-Multiplicative Noise and Their Characterizations
(2004-09-27)
One of the primary contributors to the system sensitivity threshold in radio telescopes is system-generated, additive Gaussian noise. Thermal and shot noise in active devices used as amplifiers and frequency changers, and ...
Respiratory constraints on speech production at prosodic boundaries.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology., 2000)
Perceptual and acoustic impacts of aberrant properties of electrolaryngeal speech.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology., 2003)
Estimating glottal voicing source characteristics by measuring and modeling the acceleration of the skin on the neck.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology., 2002)
Novel Trapping Techniques For Shaping Bose-Einstein Condensates
(2007-02-07)
A combination of radio frequency radiation and magnetic field gradients was used to
trap atoms in dressed states. In a magnetic field with a quadrupole minimum, RF
fields resonant with the (|F,mf i) |1,−1i ! |1, 0i ...
Acoustic analysis and synthesis of nasal codas in Mandarin Chinese
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002-05)
Circuit-Aware System Design Techniques for Wireless Communication
(2006-06-29)
When designing wireless communication systems, many hardware details are hidden
from the algorithm designer, especially with analog hardware. While it is difficult for
a designer to understand all aspects of a complex ...
Signal Processing in Biological Cells: Proteins, Networks, and Models
(2006-06-27)
This thesis introduces systematic engineering principles to model, at different levels of ab-straction the information processing in biological cells in order to understand the algorithms
implemented by the signaling ...
Accurate Nanofabrication Techniques for High-Index-Contrast Microphotonic Devices
(2006-08-25)
High-refractive-index-contrast microphotonic devices provide strong light confinement
allowing for sharp waveguide bends and small dielectric optical resonators. They allow
dense optical integration and unique applications ...
Coding Techniques for Multicasting
(2006-08-25)
We study some fundamental limits of multicasting in wireless systems and propose practical
architectures that perform close to these limits. In Chapter 2, we study the scenario in which
one transmitter with multiple ...
