This thesis focuses on the coaxial-microstrip T-resonator measurement technique to determine the aperture plane capacitance and radiation resistance of electrically short monopoles above a finite ground plane at Radio ...

In this thesis, the maneuvering and orientation of an inspection/service satellite is investigated. This thesis will demonstrate a simplified satellite maneuver around another satellite (for docking purposes). This is ...

The aim of this project was to design and test a partial attitude determination and control system for a nanosatellite. The reaction wheel system was designed and tested as an actuator for the nanosatellite. This reaction ...

As secondary objective an introduction to the quantification, theory and measurement of phase noise is presented to make this field of study more accessible for the novice to the field. Available phase noise theory is ...

The Gaussian mixture model (GMM) performs very effectively in applications such as speech and speaker recognition. However, evaluation speed is greatly reduced when the GMM has a large number of mixture components. ...

This thesis investigates to the design, analysis and testing of a Superconducting Programmable Gate Array (SPGA). The objective was to apply existing programmable logic concepts to RSFQ circuits and in the process develop ...

Digital audio data storage mediums have long been used within the consumer market. Today, because of the advancement of processor clock speeds and increased MOSFET switching capabilities, digital audio data formats can ...
