ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Harmonic mixers are capable of extended frequency operation by mixing with a harmonic of the LO (local oscillator) signal, eliminating the need for a high frequency, high power LO. Their output spectra ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There is a large variety of telemetry recervmg software currently available for the reception of telemetry information from different satellites. Most of the software used in receiving telemetry data ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Structure from Motion is defined as the problem of extracting the 3d motion of a camera moving through a scene, as well as the 3d structure of the scene, from the image sequence produced by the camera ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Speaker recognition systems have evolved to a point where near perfect performance can be obtained under ideal conditions, even if the system must distinguish between a large number of speakers. Under ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: High-temperature (HTc) SQUID magnetometers are used in the biomedical field of magnetocardiography (MCG). The use of MCG enables a much earlier diagnosis of potentially dangerous conditions than the ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this thesis was to design and test the interfaces of sensors and actuators. In the complete Attitude Determination and Control System CADCS) the Interface Control Processor (ICP) must ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis presents results of a study on the small-signal stability of a single-machine infinite-bus power system. Conditions of generator loading and network impedance are identified that require ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A Representative Unit Cell (RUC) model for flow through two-dimensional porous media is presented and applied to two industrial related problems. The first application is to that of cross-flow in tube ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Keywords: Dielectric Resonators, Radial Mode Matching, Whispering Gallery Modes The aim of this investigation was to develop accurate modelling techniques to determine the resonant frequencies of ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The field of topic spotting in conversational speech deals with the problem of identifying "interesting" conversations or speech extracts contained within large volumes of speech data. Typical applications ...
