ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 
First of all, I am highly grateful to my advisor, Dr. Dereje Shiferaw for his 
encouragement, insight guidance, and professional expertise. My special thanks go to 
all instructors who thought me during my graduate study. I take this opportunity to 
thank Deber Markos University for giving me the chance to continue my graduate 
study in Electrical Engineering. No words of thanks are enough for my family for 
their unwavering support and love offered throughout the thesis work and my 
graduate study. Last but by no means least; I am grateful to all colleagues for the 
support they give.
