ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A complete mixed-potential integral equation formulation for the analysis of arbitrarily shaped scatterers in a planarly layered medium is presented. The integral equation is able to solve for simultaneous ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This project investigates the improvement of an existing radar system by means of currently available technologies and signal processing techniques. Upgrades are aimed to improve the system's speci cations ...

A navigation performance sensitivity study with respect to the quality variation of sensors and sensor combinations is presented in this thesis. Navigation simulation software capable of using real-time and simulated sensor ...

This thesis documents the design and implementation of an S-band receiver for phasecomparison monopulse radar. The design and evaluation of the various sub-systems involved in realizing the receiver are discussed in ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of a solid state transformer (SST) is to use power electronic converters to mimic the operation of the conventional distribution transformer. These power electronic converters are proposed ...

This thesis relates to the analysis and design of a SQUID microscope. Superconductor theory is discussed in depth to provide a thorough understanding of Josephson junctions and of dc SQUID magnetometers. The behaviour ...

Automatic bird song recognition and transcription is a relatively new field. Reliable automatic recognition systems would be of great benefit to further research in ornithology and conservation, as well as commercially ...

In this thesis the design of a low-cost ad hoc network for short distance data acquisition applications with low data arrival intervals will be presented. The focus is on cost reduction by replacing the traditional high ...

Modern day digital modulation techniques in communication systems produce large peak-to-average ratios. To maintain linearity, power amplifiers have to operate at backed-off levels. This results in low efficiency with ...

The aim of this thesis is to implement a Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) system in a Software Defined Radio (SDR). The physical modulation part of the DAB transmitter for one of the transmission modes as well as its ...
