CLUTTER DETECTION AND MITIGATION FOR DUAL-POLARIZATION WEATHER RADAR
(2019-12-13)
Ground clutter in weather radar observations causes degradation of data quality and can lead to misinterpretation of radar echoes. It is important to detect clutter and mitigate its effects to obtain accurate weather ...
Long Term Evolution – License Assisted Access (LTE-LAA): Modeling and Coexistence Performance Analysis
(2019)
Wireless communication built upon radio spectrum plays an instrumental role in today's modern world. With the explosive growth of mobile data traffic, mobile cellular networks need more spectrum to boost their system ...
The Use of EEG-fMRI Features for Characterizing Mental Disorders
(2019-08-09)
Determining clinically relevant biomarkers of mental disorders for reliably indicating pathophysiological processes or predicting therapeutic responses remains a major challenge, despite decades of research. Identifying ...
Advancing Multimodal Approaches to Study Human Brain: Improvements in Simultaneous EEG-fMRI Acquisition
(2019-12)
The primary aim of the study detailed in this dissertation was improving the quality of simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments. Two common challenges to use ...
The Coexistence of D2D Communication under Heterogeneous Cellular Networks (HetNets)
(2019-07-25)
Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is a promising technique for supporting the stringent requirements of the fifth-generation cellular network (5G). This new technique has garnered significant attention in cellular ...
An Investigation and Solution to Spatial Interferers Before RF Front End for Phased Arrays
(2019-05-10)
Fully digital arrays offer significant advantages in terms of flexibility and performance, however they suffer from dynamic range issues when used in the presence of in-band interferers. Higher dynamic range components may ...
DEVELOPING NOVEL COMPUTER-AIDED DETECTION AND DIAGNOSIS SYSTEMS OF MEDICAL IMAGES
(2019-12-13)
Reading medical images to detect and diagnose diseases is often difficult and has large inter-reader variability. To address this issue, developing computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) schemes or systems of medical ...
HIGH-PERFORMANCE ANTENNA ARRAYS FOR MULTIFUNCTION PHASED ARRAY RADAR (MPAR) APPLICATION
(2019-05-10)
There are interest and practical value in utilizing polarization diversity for a radar to obtain more target information or for a communication system to carry more signal information without occupying more frequency band. ...
A New Paradigm for Proactive Self-Healing in Future Self-Organizing Mobile Cellular Networks
(2019)
Mobile cellular network operators spend nearly a quarter of their revenue on network management and maintenance. Remarkably, a significant proportion of that budget is spent on resolving outages that degrade or disrupt ...
Temporal and Spatial Interference Mitigation Strategies to Improve Radar Data Quality
(2019-05)
The microwave band is well suited to wireless applications, including radar, communications, and electronic warfare. While radar operations currently have priority in a portion of the microwave band, wireless companies are ...
