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 ...

There has been significant interest in the research community on detectors for DS-CDMA systems. The conventional detector, which detects users ' data bits, by using a filter matched to the users' spreading codes, has two ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
