ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis describes the design, modelling and implementation of a prototype request- processing software system, which can be used as the basis for a request processing frame- work for systems with ...

This thesis describes the design of a high performance, floating-point, standalone embedded system that is appropriate for speech and audio processing purposes. The system successfully employs the Analog Devices TigerSHARC ...

This study investigates high frequency probes through good metrology and computation software such as CST. A factor that can strongly influence the accuracy of measurements, is common mode (CM) current. Therefore, the ...

There is currently a disparity in the amount of research done in underwater communication when compared to terrestrial communication. Therefore, it was the goal of this work to try and make an initial step towards bridging ...

The continued advancement and improvement of software-defined radio technology has been a key factor in furthering research into the implementation of most signal processing algorithms at baseband. Traditionally, these ...

The topic for this project entailed the development of a ‘Low Phase Noise – Microwave – Voltage Controlled Oscillator’ for use in radar applications. First of all, a low phase noise oscillator was designed. In order to ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The successful development of an autopilot for an unmanned helicopter is presented. The helicopter model is developed from first principles. The model is decoupled to enable the design of four separate ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A solution for autonomous navigation is described and demonstrated using simulations. The novelty is to use a set of interconnecting nodes with self-locating properties for navigation. This work defines ...

This thesis is aimed at testing commercially available CMOS amplifier ICs at 4 K. Super Conducting Electronics (SCE) will also be used to amplify RSFQ signals for easier detection by CMOS technology and better ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis discusses the development of a 5 kVA single phase AC voltage regulator, specifically designed to assist in the reduction of electrification costs in sparsely populated rural areas. The voltage ...
