Accurate vehicle classification including motorcycles using piezoelectric sensors
(2012)
State and federal departments of transportation are charged with classifying vehicles and monitoring mileage traveled. Accurate data reporting enables suitable roadway design for safety and capacity. Vehicle classifier ...
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 ...
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 ...
Investigation of Antenna Edge Treatments and Ground Plane Coupling Behavior
(2016-12-16)
Guided wave structures can perform as broadband antenna elements through the use of a gradual impedance transformation. The impedance match is typically created through gradual structural changes to match the impedance of ...
Simulation of Polarimetric Phased Array Weather Radars
(2016-05)
Polarimetric phased array radars (PPARs) are a rapidly developing area of research interest in weather radar. However, they present intrinsic challenges for calibration and operation. Foremost among these are the adverse ...
Investigation of Low-Power Antenna Reconfiguration Through Biasing of Magnetic Loads
(2017-05-12)
In modern RF systems, tunable devices are increasingly necessary to provide agility in crowded spectral environments. The antenna, as an integral part of any wireless system, must be capable of operating well at multiple ...
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 ...
Electroencephalographic Signatures in Developing Motor Brain of Infants at Time of Crawling Skill Acquisition
(2017-08-01)
Electroencephalography (EEG) is the aggregate of electrical signals emitted from the brain. Study of EEG has been widely used as a useful noninvasive method of collecting bioelectric signals from humans. Processing and ...
