Computational Electromagnetics Applied to Scattering Observed by Polarimetric Weather Radar
(2015-12-18)
The primary topics of this dissertation are issues existing in the current ensemble scattering procedures. These procedures are failing to quantitatively reproduce polarimetric signatures from resolution volumes filled ...
Frequency-Agile Microwave Filters For Radars With Simultaneous Transmission and Reception
(2015-12)
Multi-band/multi-mode wireless communication systems have been receiving increased attention recently due to their potential for spectrum management in a dynamic spectral environment. Similarly radar systems, which can ...
EEG OSCILLATORY ACTIVITIES FROM HUMAN MOTOR BRAIN
(2015-12)
Motor skills are essential in people’s daily life in exploring and interacting with
the ambient environment. Impairments to motor functions affect the acquisition of
motor skills, which not only reduce the quality of ...
Analysis of Backbone Technique: a Hilbert Transform and Discrete Hilbert Transform-based Technique
(2015-12)
This dissertation focuses on understanding and improving the “backbone” technique, a Hilbert-transform based vibration signal processing technique developed by Dr. Michael Feldman started in 1994. The concept of backbone ...
Adaptive Distributed Source Coding Based on Bayesian Inference
(2015-08-14)
Distributed Source Coding (DSC) is an important topic for both in information theory and communication. DSC utilizes the correlations among the sources to compress data, and it has the advantages of being simple and easy ...
GAIT PERFORMANCE AND CONTROL OF A PROSTHETIC ANKLE JOINT FOR BELOW-KNEE AMPUTEES
(2015)
Traumatic events such as accidents or vascular and circulatory disorders often lead to amputation of the lower limb below the knee joint. The surgery is followed by fitting of a prosthetic device and rehabilitation process ...
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 ...
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 ...
