Rout, S. (author)With the bandwidth of the ECG signal extending from sub-Hz to 200 Hz, a major challenge for an ECG readout system lies in implementing the high-pass (HP) cut-off frequency as this translates into the realization of large time constants on-chip.Although techniques such as those based on the use of pseudo-resistors to obtain very large time...master thesis 2016

Kostałkowski, M.K. (author)Every year number of prematurely born infants grows. Most underdeveloped organ after birth is brain. Therefore its monitoring is very important, especially as it can provide indications about health state in a future, both short and long term. Non invasive method of brain monitoring is EEG recording. However tedious process of system set up and...master thesis 2016

Lin, Q. (author)This thesis presents a low-power low-noise instrumentation amplifier designed to be implemented in 40 nm CMOS technology and operating from a 0.6 V supply, intended for use in electrocardiogram (ECG) and bio-impedance (BioZ) signal acquisition. This instrumentation amplifier has one ECG channel, one BioZ channel and allows both signals to be...master thesis 2016

Keijsers, J.G.M. (author)Increasing demands for mobile internet access have led to exponential developments in mobile communications technologies. The next generation mobile technology is expected to exploit electronic beam steering and to have a higher operating frequency to facilitate a higher bandwidth. This places a heavy burden on the base station antenna arrays,...master thesis 2016

El Mansouri, B. (author)Sensors have been used in different forms and fields, where the sensors play important roles in identifying and quantifying different environmental conditions for various purposes used in mobile applications. Among these are the MOX and polymer based sensors. However, the MOX sensors have larger power consumption and poor selectivity. The main...master thesis 2016

Van der Kemp, J.W.F. (author)Diffusion-weighted chemical shift imaging (DW-CSI) is a recently developed MRI modality that enables radiologists to reveal the diffusion properties of small molecules that act in metabolic reactions in-vivo. In order to extract this diffusion information from a patient, DW-CSI requires approximately one hour of scan time. This extensive scan...master thesis 2016

Chalegoua, I. (author)Transform coding has been extensively used for audio and speech compression applications during the past decades. A widely used transform is the real-valued Modified Discrete Cosine Transform (MDCT), which is employed in several state-of-the-art codecs such as the MPEG-1 Layer III (aka mp3) and AAC. An extension to this transform is the...master thesis 2016

Traditional imaging techniques in medical ultrasound are mostly based on pre-defined geometrical processing of the measurement data. In this thesis however, we focus on finding the image that would best explain the observed measurement in a least squares sense, given an ultrasound model. This enables the use of prior knowledge such as transducer...master thesis 2016

Jain, U. (author)CMOS image sensors comprise of two processes: designing and measurement/testing. They are designed with certain characteristic performance and it is important to measure these characteristics accurately. CMOS image sensor converts light information into digital information which can be reproduced in the form of an image. Conventional 4T pixel...master thesis 2016

Pan, S. (author)High-resolution energy-efficient temperature sensors are often used for the temperature compensation of frequency references, and of a wide variety of other sensors. Of the various types of CMOS-compatible temperature sensors, those based on resistors are, at least in principle, the most energy efficient. The challenge is then how to design...master thesis 2016

Kerpels, J.J. (author)In order to allow neuroscientists to do in vivo recordings on hard to reach brain tissue, such as the inferior olivary complex, specially designed electrodes are required. Although a variety of electrodes are commercially available, they are usually expensive and it is hard to rapid prototype new designs. This thesis describes the design process...master thesis 2016

Ursulean, M. (author)The thesis analyzes the design challenges that arise when developing high-speed ADCs and shows, through an extensive architecture study, that the SAR topology can be used with a sampling rate of 2.5GS/s if asynchronous processing and a multi-bit per cycle approach are adopted. The transistor-level implementation and simulation of a 6-bit SAR ADC...master thesis 2016

Gerlach, M.M.J. (author)Dielectric shimming is proven to be very useful in increasing the homogeneity of the 𝐵1+ field in high field MRI. Current optimization and design techniques for dielectric pad parameters are slow. The goal of this thesis is to find a fast and accurate pad design and optimization technique. Two new techniques are proposed. The first, a method...master thesis 2016
