QUANTUM SECURE COMMUNICATION USING POLARIZATION HOPPING MULTI-STAGE PROTOCOLS
(2016)
This dissertation presents a study of the security and performance of a quantum communication system using multi-stage multi-photon tolerant protocols. Multi-stage protocols are a generalization of the three-stage protocol ...
DISTRIBUTED ESTIMATION OF CENTRALITY MEASURES IN COMPLEX NETWORKS
(2016-12-16)
Knowing how important a node or an edge is, within a network, can be very valuable, for instance, in identifying those who are susceptible to malicious attacks, those who are bottlenecks to network performances, and those ...
Digital Predistortion of Pseudo-Orthogonal Wideband Waveforms for Dual-Polarimetric Phased Array Radars
(2016-05)
Many new and interesting radar operational modes and techniques are being explored to maximize the efficiency and utility of next-generation radar systems while complying with increasingly stringent operational and budgeting ...
Practical Extensions to the Evaluation and Analysis of Wireless Coexistence in Unlicensed Bands
(2016-12-16)
Sharing spectrum resources in unlicensed bands has proven cost effective and beneficial for providing ubiquitous access to wireless functionality for a broad range of applications. Chipsets designed to implement communication ...
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 ...
