Applications of Gaussian Mixture Model to Weather Observations
(2011)
The estimation of weather parameters such as attenuation and rainfall rates from weather radar data has been based mainly on deterministic regression models. The applications of a Bayesian approach to weather parameters ...
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 ...
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 ...
