60 GHz Beamforming Transmitter Design for Pulse Doppler Radar

Beamforming systems operating at millimeter-wave frequencies provide spatial selectivity, array gain and wide bandwidth, which benefit point-to-point Gb/s wireless communication network and high-resolution radar applications. In this thesis, a 60 GHz beamforming transmitter for a pulse Doppler radar is designed, which can be used for indoor...

FMCW radar receiver front-end design

The main focus of this thesis is the design a receiver frontend for FMCW radar applications. In these systems, the increasing requirements on detection resolution,points towards the use of higher frequencies. In view of this, frequencies at W-band are very attractive due to the otential of high spatial resolution, while chip size and antennas...

Pattern transfer on vertical cavity sidewalls using SU8

In this master thesis, a process to realize metal lines on the sidewall of high aspect ratio cavities is developed. As alternative to conventional photoresist, SU8 is used to define patterns on vertical sidewalls of deep cavities while maintaining compatibility with conventional IC processes. When transferring a pattern onto 3D structures,...

Super-regenerative Receiver for UWB-FM

UWB-FM is a low-complexity ultra-wideband (UWB) communication system designed for short-range, low- and medium-data-rate wireless applications such as the personal area network (PAN). These applications often require simple, integrated receivers with low power consumption. Most of previous work utilized delay-line demodulators for UWB-FM...

Project: Nauwkeurige slingerklok, EI-01.044

Probleemanalyse, het samenstellen van Programma van wensen. Opstellen van de correcte probleemstelling. Dit was het begin van onze zoektocht naar een nauwkeurig slingerklok meetsysteem. Hoe bepaal je de nauwkeurigheid van een mechanische slingerklok in miljoenste van een seconde. En welke externe factoren waren invloed op eventuele fouten.
