A new modality for microwave tomographic maging: transit time tomography.
(2006-07-22)A new method for tomographic imaging using time delay of microwaves as they pass through objects of varying dielectric is presented. To obtain this delay measurement, recording of transmitted waveforms is performed when ... -
Non-deterministic modeling of the bulk thermal and electrical conductivity for dense thin film carbon nanotube networks.
(2011-05-12)Thin films composed of single-walled carbon nanotubes, enjoy very high thermal and electrical conductivities, well beyond that of polymer matrix composites, and are very light in weight. Before these materials can experience ... -
Optimizing multi-agent dynamics for underwater tactical applications.
(2011-05-12)Large groups of autonomous agents, or swarms, can exhibit complex emergent behaviors that are difficult to predict and characterize from their low-level interactions. These emergent behaviors can have hidden implications ... -
Principal component and neural network calibration of a microwave frequency composition measurement sensor.
(2008-03-03)Microwave sensors are becoming more prevalent throughout a variety of industries. While providing an effective form of measurement, microwave sensors are difficult to calibrate and provide results which can be difficult ... -
Remotely sensed hyperspectral image unmixing.
(2010-10-08)Estimating abundance fractions of materials in hyperspectral images is an important area of study in the field of remote sensing. The need for liner unmixing in remotely sensed imagery arises from the fact that the sampling ... -
Robust geolocation techniques for multiple receiver systems.
(2011-05-12)The purpose of this thesis is to investigate signal processing algorithms that allow multiple moving receivers to locate a stationary emitter. This problem has received considerable attention over the past 50 years, yet ... -
Side lobe modulation of radar antenna pattern utilizing an auxiliary array.
(, 2013-05-15)In the area of electronic countermeasures, disabling the ability of an individual to “listen” to the transmitted waveform is of great interest. Most often, an individual can intercept the transmitted radar signal through ... -
Simulation and measurement of the Guided Microwave Spectrometry system.
(, 2013-09-24)Previously, a novel microwave measurement device known as the Guided Microwave Spectrometry (GMS) system was developed for retrieving properties of material under test (MUT) and non-destructively measuring the composition ... -
Wind-turbine generator for load-following and its applications to primary frequency support and small-signal stability improvement.
(, 2011-09-14)In today’s power grid, the penetration of wind energy has been increasing. Meanwhile, many relevant issues have been explored. Among them, a novel active power control strategy named load-following has been given attention ...
