Analysis Of Ultra Wide Band (Uwb) Technology For An Indoor Geolocation And Physiological Monitoring System, Cengiz Alabacak
Analysis Of Ultra Wide Band (Uwb) Technology For An Indoor Geolocation And Physiological Monitoring System, Cengiz Alabacak
Theses and Dissertations
The goal of this research is to analyze the utility of UWB for indoor geolocation and to evaluate a prototype system, which will send information detailing a person’s position and physiological status to a command center. In a real world environment, geolocation and physiological status information needs to be sent to a command and control center that may be located several miles away from the operational environment. This research analyzes and characterizes the UWB signal in the various operational environments associated with indoor geolocation. Additionally, "typical usage scenarios" for the interaction between UWB and other devices are also tested and …
Ambiguity Function Analysis And Direct-Path Signal Filtering Of The Digital Audio Broadcast (Dab) Waveform For Passive Coherent Location (Pcl), Abdulkadir Guner
Ambiguity Function Analysis And Direct-Path Signal Filtering Of The Digital Audio Broadcast (Dab) Waveform For Passive Coherent Location (Pcl), Abdulkadir Guner
Theses and Dissertations
This research presents an ambiguity function analysis of the digital audio broadcast (DAB) waveform and one signal detection approach based on signal space projection techniques that effectively filters the direct-path signal from the receiver target channel. Currently, most Passive Coherent Location (PCL) research efforts are focused and based on frequency modulated (FM) radio broadcasts and analog television (TV) waveforms. One active area of PCL research includes the search for new waveforms of opportunity that can be exploited for PCL applications. As considered for this research, one possible waveform of opportunity is the European digital radio standard DAB. For this research, …
An Analysis Of Mutually Dispersive Brown Symbols For Non-Linear Ambiguity Suppression, Matthew J. Papaphotis
An Analysis Of Mutually Dispersive Brown Symbols For Non-Linear Ambiguity Suppression, Matthew J. Papaphotis
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis significantly advances research towards the implementation of optimal Non-linear Ambiguity Suppression (NLS) waveforms by analyzing the Brown theorem. The Brown theorem is reintroduced with the use of simplified linear algebraic notation. A methodology for Brown symbol design and digitization is provided, and the concept of dispersive gain is introduced. Numerical methods are utilized to design, synthesize, and analyze Brown symbol performance. The theoretical performance in compression and dispersion of Brown symbols is demonstrated and is shown to exhibit significant improvement compared to discrete codes. As a result of this research a process is derived for the design of …
