Design And Demonstration Of A Miniature Lidar System For Rover Applications, Benjamin Robinson
Design And Demonstration Of A Miniature Lidar System For Rover Applications, Benjamin Robinson
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Public awareness of harmful human environmental effects such as global warming has increased greatly in recent years and researchers have increased their efforts in gaining more knowledge about the Earth's atmosphere. Natural and man-made processes pose threats lo the environment and human life, so knowledge of all atmospheric processes is necessary. Ozone and aerosols are important factors in many atmospheric processes and active remote sensing techniques provide a way lo analyze their quantity and distribution.
A compact ground-based lidar system for a robotic platform meant for atmospheric aerosol measurements was designed, tested, and evaluated. The system will eventually be deployed …
Electronic Warfare By Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Aydin Meric
Electronic Warfare By Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Aydin Meric
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Technology continues to evolve rapidly by the day. Developments in technology should be followed closely if a country wants to become more powerful. Nowadays nobody can afford to ignore the importance of Electronic Warfare and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in military applications. Both of them play a crucial role in military operations that they can change the course of a war.
There are different kinds of Electronic Warfare methods that can be applied according to the situations and any evolving circumstances. In the beginning Electronic Warfare was used mainly for defensive purposes, but these days Electronic Warfare is used for …
Performance Analysis For Wimax Wireless Systems With Multiple Receive Antennas, Selcuk Taskin
Performance Analysis For Wimax Wireless Systems With Multiple Receive Antennas, Selcuk Taskin
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Broadband wireless access has become the best way to meet the growing demand for fast Internet connections. WiMAX is one of the most promising broadband access technologies that allows fast deployment as well as low maintenance costs. WiMAX allows efficient use available bandwidth by using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) which is an efficient multi-carrier modulation technique. Diversity is a method for improving the reliability of a signal in fading environments by using two or more communication channels and is usually achieved by multiple antenna techniques.
In this thesis, receiver side diversity combining methods are studied and the performance of …

Design Of Multi Agent Based Crowd Injury Model, Emin Kugu
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
A major concern of many government agencies is to predict and control the behavior of crowds in different situations. Many times such gatherings are legal, legitimate, and peaceful. But there are times when they can turn violent, run out of control, result in material damages and even casualties. It then becomes the duty of governments to bring them under control using a variety of techniques, including non-lethal and lethal weapons, if necessary.
In order to aid decision makers on the course of action in crowd control, there are modeling and simulation tools that can provide guidelines by giving programmed rules …
