Broadband Doherty Power Amplifier using Symmetrical GaN Transistors
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-05)The wireless industry has seen a tremendous growth in its users over the last decade. This has led the industry to adapt a number of new standards allowing for better use of the scarce and often very fragmented frequency ... -
Broadband Doherty Power Amplifiers with Enhanced Linearity for Emerging Radio Transmitters
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)The ever-increasing demand for utilizing wireless spectra has led to development of spectrally efficient radio systems. While these systems offer much higher data throughput, they employ more sophisticated modulation ... -
Broadband Linearity-Enhanced Doherty Power Amplifier Design Techniques for 5G Sub-6 GHz Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-27)The recently deployed fifth generation (5G) cellular networks represent a significant technological advancement over fourth generation (4G) networks. Specifically, new 5G frequency bands were allocated at sub-6 GHz and ... -
Bubble Migration in Pore Networks of Uniform Geometry
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-23)The behavior of bubbles migrating in porous media is a critical factor in several soil remediation operations such as in situ air sparging, supersaturated water injection, bioslurping, trench aeration and up-flow operation ... -
Build, Rent and Sell: Options for Commercializing New Technologies Arising from University Research
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This research investigates the strategic governance choices made in commercializing new technologies arising from university research. <br /><br /> Departing from the traditional licensing vs. start-up approach, it ... -
Building a Parc de la langue française / Retracing my steps as a designer
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-26)In 1979, Québec artist Rober Racine wrote a 190-word text that would describe his idea for Le Parc de la langue française, a landscape where one could literally meander through the French language. Although some partial ... -
Building Big: Spanning Urban Infrastructure
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-22)This thesis addresses the issue of urban fracture caused by transport infrastructure, through the design of a tenable, multi-program building with robust structural spans, as well as opportunities for the transient ... -
Building Bridges between Pharmacists and Physicians: An Exploratory Investigation via Field, Usability Studies & Control Task Analysis To Enhance Pharmacy Management System Requirements
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-25)Miscommunication between healthcare professionals can impact patient care and is costly. The information systems used in pharmacies and hospitals can contribute to this miscommunication. The present research is an initial ... -
Building Collaboration, Building Community: A Home for Northern Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-23)Building Collaboration, Building Community: A Home for Northern Learning explores the potential for architecture to support learning endeavors in the Canadian North. Informed by traditional approaches to northern learning ... -
Building Fiction: The Architecture of Narrative in Harry Potter
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-29)A person does not experience architecture as a purely physical construct. Lived space transcends mere materiality, as each individual experiences the world outside oneself through the unique filter of one’s own mind. In ... -
Building in Puma
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-18)It is proven that sustainable development only occurs when ideas and resources are locally adapted; however, many conventional development approaches ignore local voices and treat them merely as passive consumers. Today, ... -
Building on Building on Main Streets
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-09)This thesis examines the problems of building on Toronto’s main streets. These arterial mixed-use corridors that define much of the public face of the city are the subject of ongoing residential intensification efforts ... -
Building Scalable and Consistent Distributed Databases Under Conflicts
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-12)Distributed databases, which rely on redundant and distributed storage across multiple servers, are able to provide mission-critical data management services at large scale. Parallelism is the key to the scalability of ... -
Building Sustainability: Definitions, Process and Case
(University of Waterloo, 2011-02-24)This thesis is an exploration of how to do sustainable development for buildings, especially during the earliest stages of such development. The thesis starts by considering clear definitions of sustainability, development ... -
Buildings and Wind: A Software-Based Design Methodology
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-26)There is a reciprocal relationship between wind and buildings, as they each affect the other. Building form affects wind by altering its speed and flow patterns, and can be used to create desirable wind conditions around ... -
