REAL-TIME ADAPTIVE PULSE COMPRESSION ON RECONFIGURABLE, SYSTEM-ON-CHIP (SOC) PLATFORMS
(2015-12)
New radar applications need to perform complex algorithms and process a large quantity of data to generate useful information for the users. This situation has motivated the search for better processing solutions that ...
Characterization of the convective boundary layer through a combination of large-eddy simulations and a radar simulator
(2011)
The boundary layer (BL) is the lowest part of the atmosphere where the flow field is directly influenced by interactions among air, heat, and the Earth's surface. The structure of flow in the BL is dynamic due to the fact ...
Radar cross section modeling of tornadic debris and applications
(2016-05-06)
Tornadic debris plays an important role in the study of tornadoes due to the dramatic threat it poses to human life, and the devastation it causes to commercial and residential property. Radar cross section (RCS) modeling ...
ADAPTIVE CHANNEL AND SOURCE CODING USING APPROXIMATE INFERENCE
(2011)
Channel coding and source coding are two important problems in communications. Although both channel coding and source coding (especially, the distributed source coding (DSC)) can achieve their ultimate performance by ...
Molecular Beam Epitaxy of InAs, GaSb, AlSb Structures for Interband Cascade Devices
(2016-08)
The interband cascade (IC) family of devices has been extended beyond mid-infrared lasers to include photovoltaic (PV) and photodetector (PD) devices. These devices utilize the transition between conduction and valence ...
Control and Optimization of Variable-Speed Wind Turbines and Large-Scale Wind Farms
(2012)
Motivated by the vast potential of wind power as a renewable energy source and the reliability issues arising from its integration into a power system, this dissertation designs and analyzes a novel, diverse collection of ...
DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A HIGH ENERGY PHASE CONTRAST X-RAY IMAGING SYSTEM PROTOTYPE
(2011)
The field of mammography receives constant research attention focused on improving the balance between the benefits of cancer screening and the risks of harmful radiation to the patient. As a result, numerous advancements ...
Applications of Gaussian Mixture Model to Weather Observations
(2011)
