WIND TURBINE CLUTTER IN WEATHER RADAR: CHARACTERIZATION AND MITIGATION
(2014-05)
With the rapid growth of the wind power industry, many commercial utility-scale wind turbines have been built across the country. These extremely large man-made structures are reported to have negative impact on nearby ...
Microwave Electrometry with Rydberg Eletromagnetically Induced Transparency in Vapor Cells
(2016-07-20)
An atom-based approach is presented to detect absolute microwave (MW) electric fields (E-fields). The approach uses Rydberg atoms in vapor cells at room temperature. The MW E-field measurements utilize a bright resonance ...
Digital signal processing on the unit sphere via a Ramanujan set of rotations and planar wavelets.
(2000)
We give a sufficient condition for a zonal function to be a strictly positive definite. A major result of this thesis is that we have proven Shreiner's result as a consequence of a more general representation-theoretic ...
Error-correction coding for high-density magnetic recording channels.
(2004)
Finally, a promising algorithm which combines RS decoding algorithm with LDPC decoding algorithm together is investigated, and a reduced-complexity modification has been proposed, which not only improves the decoding ...
Carbon Nanotube Enhanced Lithium Ion Composite Cathodes
(2014-08-13)
Batteries are sought that can deliver high energy density and high power density over thousands of cycles, with minimum environmental impact and cost. Invariably no one material can achieve all of these requirements. Lithium ...
GROWTH OF WIDE BANDGAP SEMICONDUCTORS USING PULSED ELECTRON BEAM DEPOSITION (PED) PROCESS
(2015)
Wide bandgap materials hold a great potential in solid state lighting, power electronics, and radio frequency (RF) device applications. The cumulative market for all these applications is forecasted to be approximately $75 ...
Spectral analyses of the dual polarization Doppler weather radar data.
(2007)
Echoes in clear air from biological scatterers mixed within the resolution volumes over a large region are presented. These echoes were observed with the polarimetric prototype of the forthcoming WSR-88D weather radar. The ...
A STATE VECTOR AUGMENTATION METHOD FOR INCLUDING VELOCITY INFORMATION IN THE LIKELIHOOD FUNCTION OF THE SIR VIDEO TARGET TRACKING FILTER
(2016)
This thesis is focused on visual target tracking. Visual target tracking has been widely studied. The main idea is to be able to determine the target's location from a video sequence. Techniques such as the Kalman Filter ...
Multiplierless CSD techniques for high performance FPGA implementation of digital filters.
(2007)
I leverage FastCSD to develop a new, high performance iterative multiplierless structure based on a novel real-time CSD recoding, so that more zero partial products are introduced. Up to 66.7% zero partial products occur ...
