Mode-Reconfigurable Bandpass Filters with Liquid Metal Enablement
(2017-08)
The RF spectrum grows increasingly crowded every year due to technological advancement and more accessibility to wireless devices. Overcrowding leads to the desire for frequency agile microwave systems with dynamic spectrum ...
Indoor Localization and Mapping Using Deep Learning Networks
(2017)
Over the past several decades, robots have been used extensively in environments that pose high risk to human operators and in jobs that are repetitive and monotonous. In recent years, robot autonomy has been exploited to ...
Evaluating the Use of Entropy Field Decomposition in Resting State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis
(2017)
The study of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data has been the subject of increasing academic interest over the past decade. Despite a growing understanding of the base activity networks ...
IOT SYSTEMS FOR TRAVEL TIME ESTIMATION
(2017-12-20)
This research introduces new approach for vehicle re-identification by computing Relative Entropy and Pearson correlation between ILD signatures, and then estimating TT based on the highest correlated signatures. To clear ...
COVERAGE ANALYSIS OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES BASED NETWORK
(2017)
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based cellular deployment research has recently gained significant attention due to its ability to overcome certain limitations of both terrestrial and satellite networks. However, most studies ...
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF USER-CELL ASSOCIATION METHODS FOR MILIMETER WAVE MASSIVE MIMO BY DEVELOPING A SYSTEM LEVEL SIMULATOR FOR HETNETS
(2017)
Massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) base station deployments and millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum utilization have been identified as promising disruptive technologies, along with ultra-dense Heterogeneous ...
Investigation of a Frequency and Pattern Reconfigurable Slot Array Utilizing Ring Resonator End Loads
(2017-12)
Fixed-bandwidth wireless systems are forced to operate in preallocated blocks of frequencies, often wasting valuable spectrum. Whereas, systems with reconfigurable antennas that can tune resonant frequency, polarization, ...
Interference Mitigation using Reconfigurable RF Components
(2017)
The need for efficient spectrum management continues to grow as
the number of users of wireless technologies continues to increase.
Solutions to this problem include cognitive radio systems, which aim to
adaptively ...
GAIT ANALYSIS OF PEOPLE WITH TRANSTIBIAL AMPUTATION
(2017-05-12)
Causes of transtibial (below knee) amputation vary from traumatic events such as accidents to vascular and circulatory disorders. Following amputation, the individual is fitted with a prosthetic device in order to regain ...
LOW-COST, SOFTWARE DEFINED FMCW RADAR FOR OBSERVATIONS OF DRONES
(2017-05-12)
This thesis focuses on implementing a small, low-cost, Frequency-Modulated-Continuous-Wave (FMCW) radar sensor using Software-Defined Radio (SDR) platforms. Extensive investigation and comparisons of existing SDRs are ...
