  • Enhanced inverse synthetic aperture radar imagery using 2-D spectral estimation

    Creator:
    Ohm, David R.
    Abstract:
    This research focused on the use of classical and modern two-dimensional spectral estimation techniques for enhancing inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imagery. 2-D Classical spectral estimation methods and 2-D modern parametric and non-parametric spectral estimation methods are applied to simulated and real data sets in order to achieve both range...

  • Delay Performance Evaluation of the IEC 61850 Standard in Power Transmission Substations

    Creator:
    Safdar, Salman
    Abstract:
    Substations are a crucial element at the transmission and distribution level of electric power systems. The primary substation equipment (power transformers and high voltage switching equipment) is used to transfer and transform electric energy by stepping up or down the voltage in transmission substations. Secondary equipment (such as IEDs, Intelligent...

  • Variational Satisfiability Solving

    Creator:
    Young, Jeffrey M.
    Abstract:
    Over the last two decades, satisfiability and satisfiability-modulo theory (SAT/SMT) solvers have grown powerful enough to be general purpose reasoning engines throughout software engineering and computer science. However, most practical use cases of SAT/SMT solvers require not just solving a single SAT/SMT problem, but solving sets of related SAT/SMT problems....

  • Precipitation and winter temperature predict long-term range-scale abundance changes in Western North American birds

    Creator:
    Illán, Javier Gutiérrez, Thomas, Chris D., Jones, Julia A., Wong, Weng-Keen, Shirley, Susan M., and Betts, Matthew G.
    Abstract:
    Predicting biodiversity responses to climate change remains a difficult challenge, especially in climatically complex regions where precipitation is a limiting factor. Though statistical climatic envelope models are frequently used to project future scenarios for species distributions under climate change, these models are rarely tested using empirical data. We used long-term...

  • Multiple antenna techniques for pulse-based ultra-wideband system

    Creator:
    Vemulapalli, Sudheer
    Abstract:
    fIndoor wireless local area networks (LAN's) and personal area networks (PAN’s) have evolved very rapidly in the recent past. The indoor wireless LAN's are mainly dominated by narrow-band technologies like the IEEE 802.11a,b which are short range and provide data rates of 1 Mbps to 54 Mbps. The Bluetooth has...

  • Linear and nonlinear feedback linearization of radio frequency power amplifiers

    Creator:
    Bogya, Robert I.
    Abstract:
    Radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PA) are the most power consuming components of a mobile communications unit. They are used to convert the DC power from the battery into RF power delivered to the antenna. In a cell phone it becomes very important to use highly efficient power amplifiers, such...

  • Determining The Impact of Photovoltaic Generation on Power Systems

    Creator:
    AL-Anazi, Falah
    Abstract:
    The National Conference of State Legislatures NCSL declares that 29 states have been active in adopting and increasing renewable portfolio standards. Present renewable portfolio standards require utilities to increase integration of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV). The increased penetration of PV systems is expected to destabilize the power...

  • Scaling multiagent reinforcement learning

    Creator:
    Proper, Scott
    Abstract:
    Reinforcement learning in real-world domains suffers from three curses of dimensionality: explosions in state and action spaces, and high stochasticity or "outcome space" explosion. Multiagent domains are particularly susceptible to these problems. This thesis describes ways to mitigate these curses in several different multiagent domains, including real-time delivery of products...

  • Modeling and dynamics analysis of P2P networks based on evolutionary games

    Creator:
    Cho, Seungyun
    Abstract:
    Since free riders in P2P network reduce the system's performance, how to maintain and encourage the nodes' cooperation is an important aspect of P2P related research. In this thesis, a P2P system is modeled based on two games: stag hunt game and snowdrift game. To relate the model to the...

  • Modeling and Design of Interconnects and Passive Components for Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits in Silicon

    Creator:
    Zheng, Lei
    Abstract:
    For mmWave Integrated Circuit (IC) design, co-integration of passives can reduce size and power consumption, increase reliability, and reduce overall cost. However, skin and proximity effects in the metallization are aggravated at mmWave frequencies, resulting in increased attenuation and degradation of overall performance. Furthermore, tight integration of passive components (to...
