Analysis and Design of Clock-glitch Fault Injection within an FPGA
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-27)In modern cryptanalysis, an active attacker may induce errors during the computation of a cryptographic algorithm and exploit the faulty results to extract information about the secret key in embedded systems. This kind ... -
Analysis and Design of Lossless Bi-level Image Coding Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2000)Lossless image coding deals with the problem of representing an image with a minimum number of binary bits from which the original image can be fully recovered without any loss of information. Most lossless image coding ... -
Analysis and Design of Robust Multi-Gb/s Clock and Data Recovery Circuits
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-26)The bandwidth demands of modern computing systems have been continually increasing and the recent focus on parallel processing will only increase the demands placed on data communication circuits. As data rates enter the ... -
Analysis and Mitigation of Asynchronous Interference in Coordinated Multipoint Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-09)Next generation cellular wireless networks need to achieve both high peak and average data rates. Also, they need to improve the fairness by providing more homogenous quality of service distribution over the entire cell ... -
An Analysis and Reasoning Framework for Project Data Software Repositories
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-27)As the requirements for software systems increase, their size, complexity and functionality consequently increases as well. This has a direct impact on the complexity of numerous artifacts related to the system such as ... -
Analysis of Electrical and Thermal Stresses in the Stress Relief System of Inverter Fed Medium Voltage Induction Motors
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-24)Pulse width modulation (PWM) voltage source converters (VSC) are one type of motor drives that have become popular because they enable precise control of speed and torque in medium voltage motors. However, these drives are ... -
Analysis of Microcontroller Embedded SRAMs for Applications in Physical Unclonable Functions
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-30)The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) market has motivated widespread proliferation of microcontroller- (MCU) based embedded systems. Suitable due to their abundance, low cost, low power consumption and small ... -
Analysis of Parameterized Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-10)In particular, the thesis will focus on parameterized networks of discrete-event systems. These are collections of interacting, isomorphic subsystems, where the number of subsystems is, for practical purposes, arbitrary; ... -
Analysis of Parameterized-Chain Networks: The Dependency Graph and Its Full, Consistent Subgraphs
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-17)This thesis studies algorithmic aspects of deadlock analysis for parameterized networks of discrete-event systems. A parameterized network consists of a finite, but arbitrarily large, number of interacting finite-state ... -
Analysis of Power Transistor Behavioural Modeling Techniques Suitable for Narrow-band Power Amplifier Design
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-26)The design of power amplifiers within a circuit simulator requires a good non-linear model that accurately predicts the electormagnetic behaviour of the power transistor. In recent years, a certain class of large signal ... -
Analysis of the Asymptotic Performance of Turbo Codes
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Battail [1989] shows that an appropriate criterion for the design of long block codes is the closeness of the normalized weight distribution to a Gaussian distribution. A subsequent work shows that iterated product of ... -
Analysis of the Deep Sub-Micron a-Si:H Thin Film Transistors
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The recent developments of high resolution flat panel imagers have prompted interests in fabricating smaller on-pixel transistors to obtain higher fill factor and faster speed. This thesis presents fabrication and modeling ... -
An Analysis of the Effect of Community Structure on SAT Solver Performance
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-21)Despite enormous improvements in Boolean SATisfiability solver performance over the last decade, it is still unclear why specific input formula are slow to solve, when other similarly specified formula execute more ... -
Analysis of Transformer Insulation under High-frequency Transients
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-26)In recent times, there have been an increase in installation of wind turbines for generation of electricity through renewable energy sources. The wind energy is a clean and cost effective source of generating power, but ... -
Analysis of Weather, Time, and Mandatory Time-of-Use Pricing Effects on Aggregate Residential Electricity Demand
(University of Waterloo, 2015-06-08)Residential electricity demand is affected by three types of external factors: weather, time, and the price of electricity. Ontario has mandated time-of-use pricing for all residential customers in the province. We implement ... -
An Analysis of Wireless High-speed Data Services for Cellular CDMA Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2002)The interest in the development of wireless high-speed data services is in response to the strong market demand for high-speed wireless Internet access. Current standards aim at delivering a peak data rate greater than ... -
Analytical Methods for the Performance Evaluation of Binary Linear Block Codes
(University of Waterloo, 2000)The modeling of the soft-output decoding of a binary linear block code using a Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation system (with reduced noise power) is the main focus of this work. With this model, it is possible ... -
Analyzing Issues of Privacy and Offline Transactions In Central Bank Digital Currencies
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-08)With the popularity of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Ethereum, many central banks have begun to look into issuing their own digital currency. For many central banks, the goal of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) ... -
