— A dense urban cellular environment contains many different locations where a line-of-sight or specular signal component from the base station is present. The small scale fading...
Transient Signal Analysis (TSA) is a parametric device testing technique based on the analysis of dynamic (transient) current (iDDT) drawn by the core logic from the power supply ...
We describe an architectural design space exploration methodology that minimizes the energy dissipation of digital circuits. The centerpiece of our methodology is a Verilog-based ...
