    Modeling and Control of Line Waves on Metasurfaces

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ahmadi, Hadi (Author) ; Khavasi, Amin (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    This thesis examines a new electromagnetic mode called line mode. This mode occurs when the boundaries have complementary surface impedances. It is possible to control the mode confinement by changing the surface impedance values. Impedance surfaces with non-complementary impedances guides the quasi-line mode, which is a mode between the line mode and the edge mode. Essential features of the line wave are its singularity over the line, its broad bandwidth, and its robustness to certain defects. Another significant characteristic of a line wave is that unlike surface waves in which it is not possible to change the spin orientation, in a line wave, the spin orientation can be altered by...

    Globular structure of M2 high speed steel by thermomechanical treatment in the semisolid state

    , Article Steel Research International ; Volume 81, Issue 5 , May , 2010 , Pages 381-386 ; 16113683 (ISSN) Amin Ahmadi, B ; Aashuri, H ; Sharif University of Technology
    2010
    Abstract
    The globular structure of M2 high speed steel in the rolled - annealed and as cast conditions was investigated in the semisolid state. Metallographic observations resulted in globular austenite particles that were surrounded by a liquid phase. Dissolution of various carbides in the austenite phase at semisolid temperatures led to grain boundary liquation and formation of near-spherical solid grains in a liquid matrix. Therefore, at the semisolid state, the solid particles were free from carbides. MC-type and M6C-type eutectic carbides re-precipitated at the grain boundaries during cooling of the samples from the semisolid temperature. The variation of shape factor versus holding time and...

    Design of an Efficient High Bandwidth Supply Modulator

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Hamidizadeh, Ali (Author) ; Safarian, Amin Ghasem (Supervisor) ; Fotowat Ahmadi, Ali (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Efficient radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs) are critical in portable battery-operated wireless communication systems because they can dominate the power consumption. Linear amplifiers are enough linear but suffer from poor efficiency. On the other hand, switching power amplifier are efficient but are nonlinear and just amplify constant envelope signals. Two conventional methods for increasing transmitter efficiency and linearity are envelope elimination and restoration (EER) and envelope tracking (ET). In both methods, supply modulator controls RF power amplifier supply based on the signal envelope. Efficiency and bandwidth are critical factors in supply modulator. Thus hybrid...

    Abstract
    Echocardiography as a common place device has been widely used for diagnosis. Segmentation of left ventricle just using the standard level set formulation based on the magnitude of intensity cannot restrict the contour evolution completely due to the lack of sharp edges. This paper aims to introduce a robust method for segmentation of three-dimensional echocardiography images based on two boundary maps namely distance map and probabilistic map as stopping criteria of contour evolution which are extracted using two different approaches. The distance map is extracted by applying Free Form Deformation (FFD) method on manually determined landmarks of initial spherical volume to register the...

    System and Circuit Design for High Performance Wireless Power and Data Transfer for Biomedical Implants

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Razavi Haeri, Ali Asghar (Author) ; Fotowat Ahmadi, Ali (Supervisor) ; Ghasem Safarian, Amin (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Wireless Power and Data Transfer (WPDT) is a major part of a biomedical implant system. Maximiazing the Power Transfer Efficiency (PTE) and maximizing the data rate are the main challenges in WPDT. In a conventional biomedical implant system, a single inductive link is used to transfer both power and data from outside the body to inside. Data is transmitted by modulating one of the carrier signal properties, i.e., amplitude, frequency or phase. While being simple and robust, this method suffers from the fundamental trade-off between the PTE and data rate. To address this issue, various methods have been proposed including multiple carriers and multiple inductive links, and inductive link...

    Abstract
    Sparse representation is a powerful tool for image processing, including noise removal. It is an effective method for Gaussian noise removal by taking advantage of a fixed and learned dictionary. In this study, the variable distribution of Rician noise is reduced in magnetic resonance (MR) images by sparse representation based on reconstruction error sets. Standard deviation of Gaussian noise is used to find these errors locally. The proposed method represents two formulas for local error calculation using standard deviation of noise. The acquired results from the real and simulated images are comparable, and in some cases, better than the best Rician noise removal method due to the...

    Abstract
    This paper presents the results obtained and the deductions made from a series of microstructural studies and mechanical tests involving gray cast iron which was sand cast using a variety of modules. The effect of cooling rate on the primary dendrite arm spacing (DAS), secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS), thickness of ferrite-cementite layer (λe) and the hardness (HB) were evaluated. Results show that the both DAS and SDAS and also λe are highly dependent on the cooling rate, and they decreases as the cooling rate increases. More attempts were also done to correlate the HB with DAS, SDAS and λe. It was found that HB increases as DAS, SDAS and λe decreases
