ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Automatic speech recognition applications have been developed for many languages in other countries but not much research has been conducted on developing Human Language Technology (HLT) for S.A. ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A new task scheduler for the Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) of the Stellenbosch University Satellite (SUNSAT) has been designed and tested on a personal computer. This new scheduler ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation presents a synthesis method for broadband high-power absorptive microwave lters by cascading a wide stop-band wa e-iron lter with an absorptive harmonic pad. The classical image ...

The nite element method (FEM) is a powerful tool for the computational analysis of a wide range of electromagnetic problems. As the complexity of the problems is increased so are the demands in terms of the computational ...

This thesis details the development and comparison of two linear control systems that performhover control for a vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicle. A non-linear mathematical model of the aircraft ...

This research project investigates the design, modelling and application of an open-air capacitive voltage sensor assembly for the measurement of wideband High Voltage signals on three-phase transmission lines. The ...

The use of emerging microprocessors has become increasingly popular in packet radio communication equipment. This is mainly because of the improved performance and hardware simplicity they offer. The new generation field ...

A Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) point-to-point bi-directional link was implemented at a base Synchronous Transfer Mode level 1 (STM 1) signal rate. The full STM-1 multiplexer was implemented and the functional ...

The finite element tearing and interconnect(FETI) domain decomposition(DD) method is investigated in terms of the 2D transverse electric(TEz) finite element method(FEM). The FETI is for the first time rigorously derived ...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (ODFM) has gained considerable attention the past couple of years. In our modern world the need for faster data transmission is never-ending. OFDM modulation provides us with a ...
