Developing Affordable Smart Solutions for Police Reporting
(2018-08-02)
Due to the high costs of many eCitation systems currently on the market, many
police agencies are still using pen and paper to fill out their citations. This traditional
citation method may be cost effective. However, ...
Analysis of the Nyquist Folding Receiver (NYFR)
(2018)
Increased utilization of the radio frequency spectrum motivates receivers with wide instantaneous bandwidth for applications such as signals intelligence, cognitive radio, and compliance testing. Traditional wideband ...
A Novel Method for the Characterization of Anisotropic Materials
(2018-12-14)
This thesis details the successful conceptualization, development, and proof of concept testing of a novel system for the characterization of a material's electromagnetic properties. In particular, the proposed system was ...
A fuzzy logic algorithm for classifying bird and insect radar echoes at S-band
(2018-08-02)
A fuzzy logic algorithm for the separation of bird echoes from insect echoes using Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) and considering range effects has been developed. The radar used in this study is the S-band (10 cm wavelength) ...
Learning Assisted Decoupled Software Pipelining (LA-DSWP)
(2018-05)
In this thesis, I introduce and implement an extension to the Decoupled Software Pipelining (DSWP) algorithm proposed by Rangan et al. This new extension is named Learning Assisted Decoupled Software Pipelining (or LA-DSWP) ...
UAV-Based In Situ Antenna Characterization: Analysis and Design Requirements
(2018-05-11)
This thesis proposes to characterize antennas in situ with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), especially within the framework of weather radar and 5th generation wireless systems (5G) antennas. Specifically, it is concerned ...
Ruggedized Feeding Techniques for Placement Insensitive Antennas
(2018-08-02)
Today's warfighter relies on extensive wireless technology to stay connected to allied forces and the battle theater. Communication equipment, IFF (identification friend-or-foe) identifiers, global positioning systems, ...
DETECTABILITY ASSESSMENT OF THE HIGH-ENERGY X-RAY IN-LINE PHASE CONTRAST PROTOTYPE FOR DENSE BREASTS
(2018-12-14)
The primary objective of the research in this thesis is to evaluate the performance of the high-energy in-line phase contrast prototype with the conventional mammography along with ultrasound systems in the detection of ...
A Least Mean-Square Approach to Nonlinear Equalization of Digital Receivers
(2018-05-11)
With an increased demand for fully-digital arrays for radar and communications
systems by making use of low-cost components with relaxed linearity
requirements, nonlinear equalization (NLEQ) is needed to increase ...
PREDICTION OF EARLY STAGE LUNG CANCER PROGNOSIS AFTER SURGERY USING A NEW CAD-GENERATED IMAGING MARKER
(2018-05-11)
Due to cancer heterogeneity, identifying new clinical markers to more effectively predict prognosis of cancer patients plays an important role to improve efficacy of cancer treatment. Objective of this study is to develop ...
