Nondispersive Triple-Correlation Spectrometer For Trace Gas Analysis, Samuel Peter Kozaitis, Bruce J. Bradshaw Jun 1995

Nondispersive Triple-Correlation Spectrometer For Trace Gas Analysis, Samuel Peter Kozaitis, Bruce J. Bradshaw

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications

We showed that the output of an autocorrelation with a gas spectrum could be triple-correlated to reduce the effects of Gaussian noise. Such processing is directly applicable to a correlation spectrometer but could be applied to other designs. In spite of the added processing, triple-correlating the output of a spectrometer allowed us to generally increase the SNR by over a factor of ten. Even with as few as two measurements good results were obtained.


Video Coding For Bit Rates 64kbps And Below, Geoffrey N. Alagoda Jan 1995

Video Coding For Bit Rates 64kbps And Below, Geoffrey N. Alagoda

Theses : Honours

With digital motion video for either transmission or storage, there always exists a trade-off between the data transmission rate and the picture quality. The lower the transmission bit-rate is made, the more the quality of the image tends to degrade. With usual transform coding schemes the degradation usually occurs when low bit-rates, that is less than about 64Kbps, are used. The resultant image tends to suffer visually from a ''blocking" effect. This thesis therefore, is based on the development of a different implementation scheme, for motion video compression or encoding, so as to support both low bit-rates, around 64Kbps or …


Cossap Simulation Model Of Ds-Cdma Indoor Microwave Atm Lan, Keng T. Tan Jan 1995

Cossap Simulation Model Of Ds-Cdma Indoor Microwave Atm Lan, Keng T. Tan

Theses : Honours

This thesis presents an original work in the area of designing and implementing a simulation testbed for modelling a high speed spread spectrum Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Local Area Network (LAN). The spread spectrum technique used in this LAN model is Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA). The simulation model includes at least a physical layer of such a LAN, embedded into the COSSAP1 simulation environment, and has been fully tested. All the newly developed building blocks are comprised of standard blocks from the COSSAP libraries or compatible user-built primitive blocks (only where it is absolutely necessary), and …
