A Verilog Implementation of Weighted Sum Multiobjective Optimization for use in Cognitive Radar
(2021-12-17)
As wireless technologies continue to become more ubiquitous in a variety of different applications, the electromagnetic spectrum will become increasingly saturated. Billions of wireless devices that utilize the spectrum ...
IMPROVED VERTICAL COUPLING BETWEEN PRINTED PLANAR TRANSMISSION LINES
(2016-12-16)
In microwave devices, an aperture is often used as a radiating antenna element or to direct energy vertically from a feed line on one layer of a circuit to another. Researchers have employed many methods to describe the ...
Implementation of electrode boilers for frequency control of utility grids
This thesis successfully demonstrates an algorithm for improving the power control of a high-voltage electrode boiler being utilized for load-frequency control, by actively adjusting the slopes of XY-curves used for boiler ...
Neuroimaging Features of Adults With and Without Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment
(2017)
Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI), a condition in which the memory functions of cognition are significantly impaired, is an established risk factor for Alzheimer’s Dementia, a neurodegenerative disease that has no ...
Analysis of the Finite Array on the Scanning Performance of Phased Array Antennas
(2020-12-18)
Modern high performance phased array antennas require large apertures to achieve both high gain and narrow beamwidth. It is not practical to manufacture such large apertures, so the full array is composed of smaller ...
Reverse Backprojection Method for Simulation of Passive Bistatic SAR Data
(2017-12-15)
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a valuable tool for acquiring information about landscapes through forming two-dimensional images remotely. SAR has useful applications for defense, intelligence, humanitarian, and urban ...
Data Driven Optimization of Inter-Frequency Mobility Parameters for Emerging Networks
(2021)
Densification and multi-band operation means inter-frequency handovers can become a bottleneck for mobile user experience in emerging cellular networks. The challenge is aggravated by the fact that there does not exist a ...
Automatic Bone Structure Segmentation of Under-Sampled CT/FLT-PET Volumes for HSCT Patients
(2021-08-05)
In this thesis I present a pipeline for the instance segmentation of vertebral bodies from joint CT/FLT-PET image volumes that have been purposefully under-sampled along the axial direction to limit radiation exposure to ...
Noise Detection And Estimation In Free Space Optical Communication
(2021-04-28)
Free Space Optical Communication (FSOC) has become a popular wireless communications technique for providing and supporting optical high-speed bandwidth data transmission for telecommunication and computer networking. FSOC ...
Respiratory Rate Estimation Using WiFi Channel State Information - A Machine Learning Approach
(2020)
Respiratory rate (RR) is an important vital sign for diagnosing and treating a number of medical conditions. Current respiration monitoring systems require that a special device is continuously attached to the human body. ...
