  • The diffraction of cylindrical waves by two parallel half planes

    Creator:
    Soni, Raj Pal
    Abstract:
    The electromagnetic field produced by a line current oriented parallel to the edges of two perfectly conducting parallel half planes is considered. Maxwell's equations reduce to a single wave equation involving only one component of the electric field. Moreover the value of the field is zero on the two half...

  • Tone burst deconvolution

    Creator:
    Rathja, Roy C.
    Abstract:
    The suitability of discrete least-squares optimal (Wiener) filters for deconvolution of tone-burst waveforms is studied. It is shown that: (1) such waveforms are not well suited to these filters without preprocessing, (2) the use of exponential weighting results in a significant improvement in filter performance and (3) that "phase-unwrapping" in...

  • Development of two-variable maximum power point tracking control for ocean wave energy converters utilizing a power analysis and data acquisition system

    Creator:
    Amon, Ean A.
    Abstract:
    Ocean wave energy shows great potential as a developing form of renewable energy. However, challenges arise in maturing this technology to achieve cost-effective energy conversion. Development and testing of wave energy converters can be problematic due to the harsh environment in which they are operated. To promote development of this...

  • Analysis and modeling of electrically long MESFETS and coupled schottky lines

    Creator:
    Mohammed, Ahmed Sarhan
    Abstract:
    The properties of linear active coupled lines consisting of electrically long GaAs MESFET structures are investigated for possible applications as traveling-wave broad-band amplifiers. In addition, the nonlinear coupled Schottky lines are studied for applications as voltage tunable circuit elements. The analysis of the general active asymmetric coupled transmission lines in...
