Mobile-to-mobile communication systems also find applications in intelligent transportation systems, relay-based cellular networks, and future combat systems. The design of highly reliable mobile-to-mobile wireless communication systems requires a detailed understanding of propagation among vehicles.

This CPI model along with a host of generic models for critical path delay, power dissipation, and multilevel interconnect networks provide a powerful methodology for device\/architecture co-optimization. Graphene pn junction devices are taken as a case-study for co-optimizing device level parameters (e.g., device geometry and dimensions) and system-level parameters (e.g., number and complexity of cores). It is demonstrated that optimal system-level parameters strongly depend on the choice of technology, and technology\/system co-optimization is essential for benchmarking the potential performance of emerging post-CMOS switches.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Ph.D. student Chenyun Pan wins Best Student Paper Award at the International Conference on IC Design and Technology.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Ph.D. student Chenyun Pan wins Best Student Paper Award at the International Conference on IC Design and Technology."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2012-06-07 16:21:04","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:12:22","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2012-06-07T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2012-06-07T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"129781":{"id":"129781","type":"image","title":"chenyun pan","body":null,"created":"1449178634","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:37:14","changed":"1475894754","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:45:54","alt":"chenyun pan","file":{"fid":"194627","name":"chenyun_pan_redux_0.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/chenyun_pan_redux_0_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/chenyun_pan_redux_0_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":8029,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/chenyun_pan_redux_0_0.jpg?itok=U-_zlNbN"}}},"media_ids":["129781"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"167197","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineeering"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"135611":{"#nid":"135611","#data":{"type":"news","title":"ECE Alumnus Bob Stargel Named Father of the Year by the American Diabetes Association of Atlanta","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Father\u0027s Day Council of Atlanta has selected Robert (Bob) Stargel, Jr. (BEE \u002783) as one of four recipients of the 2012 Father of the Year Award.

Future semiconductors no longer guarantee permanent deterministic operation and are expected to show probabilistic behavior due to lowered voltages and shrinking structures. However, instructions handling control flow or pointers still require determinism. This paper is the first to identify these instructions and apply a transient error classification to probabilistic circuits considering voltage distributions, ensuring that\u0026nbsp;probabilistic effects only affect unreliable operations that accept a certain level of impreciseness. To evaluate, this team analyzed the robustness and quality-of-service of an H.264 video decoder and mapped unreliable arithmetic operations onto probabilistic components of an ARM-based simulator, while remaining operations used deterministic components.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Mooney\u2019s coauthors on this paper are Andreas Heinig (TUD), Florian Schmoll (TUD), Peter Marwedel (TUD), Krishna Palem (Rice and NTU), and Michael Engel (TUD).

A wireless image sensor node will be designed that incorporates a CMOS imager, digital signal processing unit, and RF transreceiver and is powered using energy harvested from the environment. The circuit innovations for the individual components will be coupled with system design and on-line real-time control principles to approach this highly challenging goal of developing a self-powered image sensor node.

For the first time, this paper shows the use of transmission lines to supply power with minimum power supply noise and jitter. The findings of this paper, which resulted from Dr. Huh\u0027s Ph.D. thesis, could have far reaching consequences in real world applications. These results provide a path towards using fewer layers for signaling, less capacitors, and a possibility for simplifying the design process, leading to low cost solutions. \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Professor Madhavan Swaminathan won a Best Paper Award at DesignCon 2012, held January 30-February 2 in Santa Clara, Calif.
