    • Adaptive Torque Control of a Robotic Manipulator 

      Waller, Drew F; 0000-0002-2374-3419 (2016-09-02)
      In this thesis, I present the theory and application of enabling intuitive control and physical interaction between a human operator and a mobile manipulator. To do so, the model of the manipulator was estimated for its ...

    • Charge Pump Circuit 

      Shah, Paras (Electrical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
      The sole aim of this work is to show how to generate higher voltages greater than the power supply voltage. This idea is implemented using transistors and capacitors on silicon and is called a charge pump circuit. A charge ...

    • Design And Functionality Analysis Of Operational Amplifiers With Rail-to-rail Input And Output Capability 

      Peng, Mingsheng (Electrical Engineering, 2008-04-22)
      The operational amplifier (op amp) is a fundamental building block in analog integrated circuit design. For low power-supply voltages, the common-mode input voltage and the output voltage of op amps are always required to ...

    • Design And Printed Circuit Board Level Implementation Of A Narrow Band LC VCO 

      Govindaraju, Anjan (Electrical Engineering, 2013-03-21)
      A Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) using a 0.6 μm CMOS technology has been designed and fabricated. The design's tuning range is from 390 MHz to 410 MHz, with the center frequency being 400 MHz. The oscillator is powered ...

    • Design Of A CMOS VCO And Frequency Divider For 5 GHz Applications 

      Shylendra, Prithvi (Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
