ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In a pioneering project for the University of Stellenbosch, and indeed South Africa, an automatic music transcription system was designed to explore the underlying theory, concepts and problematies of ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The implementation and verification of a recently proposed Huy gens' principle in hollow lossless waveguide is described. The extended Huygens' principle is applicable to the scattering effect of ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Limiting amplifiers are employed in electronic warfare (EW) systems requiring a high measure of amplitude control. These EW systems employ sensitive signal processing components that are unable to accept ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Bi-polar Si transistors optimized for pulse conditions is still the most popular choice as amplification element in the final stages of solid-state radar amplifiers in L and S band. With the radar market ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The optimal placement of different types of compensators on electrical networks is a complex task faced by network planners and operations engineers. The successful placement of these devices normally ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: We present the development of a pattern recognition system which is capable of classifying different Spoken Variants (SVs) of South African English (SAE) using a transcriptionless speech recognition ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Interest in TCP/IP as a communication protocol for use in space communication has increased substantially with the growth of the world wide web (WWW). TCP/IP is a relevant communication protocol for ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this thesis is to implement the Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modem modules for the Software Defined Radio (SDR), using different Linux sound Application Programming Interfaces (API's). The ...
