Radar Cross Section Analysis of Tornadic Debris
(2016-12-16)
Weather radar is a powerful tool for detecting hazardous weather that may impact citizens. Among these dangerous weather phenomena, tornadoes have a high potential for destruction of property and loss of life due to its ...
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 ...
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 ...
A Real Time Ground Based Augmentation System Implemented with LabVIEW Software
(2022-12-16)
This thesis develops and implements a real time Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) in the LabVIEW environment incorporating the Local Monitor (LM) from the Closed-Loop GBAS (CL-GBAS) concept. GBAS, also referred to ...
Intraoperative Virtual Surgical Planning Through Medical Mixed Reality
(2021)
The mission is to augment every surgery. Compared to a pilot flying a plane or even a regular google-map user on his way to work/home, surgeons today have their instruments clustered behind them hanging in the wall. The ...
Spatially-Temporally Resolved Sampling System for Carbon Dioxide Concentration in The Atmospheric Boundary Layer: A Low-Cost UAS Approach
(2020-05-08)
Given the consensus around the importance of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) to human life on earth, its monitoring has grown significantly in the past 60 years. However, there is still a knowledge gap regarding the ...
Design and Optimization of Broadband Matching Networks for Widely Steerable Phased Array Radar Systems
(2022-05-13)
The use of phased arrays have become prevalent in radar systems for military and weather applications due to their planar configuration and ability of electronic steering. However, mutual coupling between surrounding antenna ...
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 ...
Analysis of Mutual Coupling Models for Phased Array Calibration
(2022-05-13)
There is a demand for more effective phased array calibration both in initial and in
situ setups, including but not limited to airborne and spaceborne radars. Mutual coupling is a method of calibration which involves ...
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 ...
