1999 - present time
This project deals with development of wavelet methods for the
steady state analysis of nonlinear circuits. Existing Fourier series-based
methods, commonly known as Harmonic Balance, provide good accuracy for a
wide range of circuits. However, their computational cost increases
dramatically for analysis of highly nonlinear and multitone circuits due to
the growth of dense blocks in the Jacobian matrix that dominate memory
storage and CPU time requirements of a Harmonic Balance simulator. Wavelets
allow construction of an essentially bandlimited Jacobian with O(N)
nonzero entries. Although size of the wavelet Jacobian appears to be larger,
the wavelet methods show significant advantage over Harmonic Balance for
simulation of highly nonlinear, broadband, large scale and multitone circuits,
i.e. precisely in the areas where Harmonic Balance becomes ineffective.
1996 - 2000
Project focuses on computatuonal efficiency of BEM methods for
calculating capacitance matrix during VLSI design process. Introduction of
wavelets as BEM expansion bases makes possible to develop an O(N)
kernel independend integral equation solver tailored for physical parameter
extraction problems. Wavelet-based algorithms can successfully compete in terms
of computational efficiency with
other best industrial practices and offer additional degrees of freedom for
trading computational speed for accuracy of solution.
1995 - 1996.
This project dealt with efficient evaluation of electromagnetic coupling
within the framework of Electromagnetic Topology. EM Topology
concept is to describe Electromagnetic Interaction in large scale systems
in terms of bounds of EM energy flow. The project focused on computing
scattering matrices, in particular, physical parameter matrices for
multiconductor transmission lines by taking norms of block-structured
matrix of potentials.
1992 - 1994
This project was devoted to synthezis of optimal feedback
controls for EM environment. On the low level, wireless services users'
broadbans signals are represented by means of partial stochastic processes
(see frequency sharing project
below). With significant number of
users sharing the same spectrum and creating interferences to each other, a
robust means of control should be introduced to the system. This is
achieved by synthezis of (nearly) optimal feedback controls for the
comparison system describing quality of service parameters (typically, SNR)
behaviour in multiuser environment.
1991
Extra low bitrate speech compression algorithm was developed based
on Discrete Cosine Transform with successfull application of psychoacoustic
considerations for bit allocation. Target compression bitrate of 1200 bit/s
was achieved with standard recognition quality for voice grade channels. My
participation was limited to numerical support and prototyping the
algorithm in Matlab.
1990 - 1993
This project focused on effective spectrum management problem by
providing efficient ways of calculating signal-to-noise ratios for
broadband signals in presence of selective fading. Broadband signals are
modelled as a collection of narrowband vector random processes represented
by matrix stochastical differential equations. Such matrix SDE generates a
linear matrix ODE for statistical parameters (cumulants) of the vector
process. Comparison systems of significantly lower dimension are constructed
for this ODE such that their solutions provide bounds for SNR of original
broadband signals sharing the same spectrum.
1988 - 1990
Calculating and tabulating theoretical limits for digital PLL
filtering capabilities. A novel technique for numerical Hilbert transform
was developed for fast and accurate evaluation of stability limits of
fractional-N digital PLLs.
1987 - 1988
Development of numerical techniques and software for predicting
acquisition time of digital PLL frequency synthesizers.
