The deployment of optical fibre in place of copper cable in access networks has experienced remarkable growth over the past several years due to a wide range of benefits. A major benefit of optical fibre over copper cable ...

The popularity of renewable energy has experienced significant growth recently due to the foreseeable exhaustion of conventional fossil fuel power generation methods and increasing realization of the adverse effects that ...

As transistor’s feature size shrinks, power becomes one of the limiting factors in design of modern processors. Cache and register file are the two power hungry components in processors, consuming more than one third of ...

Following the successful standardization of High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA), the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) recently specified the Long Term Evolution (LTE) as a next generation radio network technology to ...

Advanced wireless systems, also called fourth generation (4G) wireless systems, such as Mobile Worldwide interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), are developed to provide broadband wireless access in true sense. ...

Robotic research has been costly and tremendously time consuming; this is due to the cost of sensors, motors, computational unit, physical construction, and fabrication. There are also a lot of man hours clocked in for ...

Fiber to the home (FTTH) technology is an attractive solution for providing high bandwidth from the Central Office (CO) to residences and small-and medium-sized businesses. The emergence of Internet Protocol-based communication ...

Compressed sensing is a novel technique where one can recover sparse signals from the undersampled measurements. Mathematically, measuring an N-dimensional signal...

This thesis described the investigation, construction and testing of two sets of RF coils for their applications in novel lung MRI imaging techniques. In the first part of the thesis, a quadrature-driven birdcage coil for ...

One of the driving forces for research in medical sciences is to develop more effective and less intrusive treatments. High Intensity Ultrasound (HIU) is a technique that uses the acoustic field produced by a transducer ...
