Implementation of a proprietary CAD graphics subsystem using the GKS standard interface.
(1989)
This project involved porting a Graphical Software Package (GSP) from
the proprietary IDS-BO Gerber CAD system onto a more modern computer that
would allow student access for further study and development. Because of the ...
Maritime tracking using level sets with shape priors.
(2012)
Piracy is still a significant threat to ships in a maritime environment. Areas such as the coast of Somalia
and the Strait of Malacca are still plagued by pirates, and the total international cost of piracy numbers
in ...
Optimized digital signal processing algorithms applied to radio communications.
(1992)
The application of digital signal processing to radio communications
has come of age with the advent of low power, high speed microprocessors
and over the past five years, various transceiver architectures,
utilizing ...
Rain rate and rain drop size distribution models for line-of-sight millimetric systems in South Africa.
(2006)
Radio frequencies at millimeter wavelengths suffer greatly from rain attenuation. It is therefore essential to study rainfall characteristics for efficient and reliable design of radio networks at frequencies above 10GHz. ...
Characteristics of rain at microwave and millimetric bands for terrestrial and satellite links attenuation in South Africa and surrounding islands.
(2010)
The emergence of a vast range of communication devices running on different types of technology has made convergence of technology become the order of the day. This revolution observed in communications technology has ...
Human motion reconstruction fom video sequences with MPEG-4 compliant animation parameters.
(2005)
The ability to track articulated human motion in video sequences is essential for applications ranging from biometrics, virtual reality, human-computer interfaces and surveillance. The work presented in this thesis focuses ...
The implementation of a CDMA system on a FPGA-based software radio.
(2000)
This dissertation exammes two of the rlsing technologies in the world of wireless, cellular
communications - CDMA and the software radio. This thesis covers many of the issues related
to these two emerging field s of ...
Computer-aided design of RF MOSFET power amplifiers.
(1992)
The process of designing high power RF amplifiers has in the past relied heavily on
measurements, in conjunction with simple linear theory. With the advent of the
harmonic balance method and increasingly faster computers, ...
A proportional timing generator for measuring intermodulation product distortion on television transposers.
(1989)
Broadcasting authorities presently measure intermodulation distortion by
applying a three tone simulation of a composite video and sound signal to the
transposer and then measuring the relative amplitude of the major ...
Analysis of the EDF family of schedulers.
(2009)
Modern telecommunications companies are moving away from conventional circuit-switched
architectures to more versatile packet-switched infrastructures. Traditional First-In-FirstOut
(FIFO) queues that are currently ...
