Reciprocal mixing and inherent nonlinearity in N-path filters

N-path filters promise to miniaturize RF receivers by replacing various fixed off-chip filters with a single programmable on-chip filter. This research investigates some of the issues of receivers with N-path filters under strong blocker conditions: reciprocal mixing and inherent nonlinearity. First, a technique for reciprocal mixing...

Zebro Battery Management System

In this thesis we will walk you through the design choices we made in designing a battery management system (BMS) for the Zebro robot. This specific BMS is designed as a subcomponent of an autonomous charging system. The main goal of this BMS is to safely charge and discharge the systems battery, while providing the system with relevant data on...
