Title: Microwave power imaging for ultra-wide band early breast cancer detection
Author: Shao, Wenyi
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering, Biomedical engineering, Electromagnetism
Description: Due to the critical need for complementary or/and alternative modalities to current X-ray mammography for early-stage breast cancer detection, a 3D active microwave imaging system has been developed. This thesis presents a detailed method for rapi...

Title: Multi-destination rendezvous in cognitive radio networks
Author: Samak, Tamer
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering, Computer science, Computer engineering
Description: The radio spectrum is a limited natural resource and the increase of wireless devices operating in the unlicensed bands of the spectrum has led to its overcrowding resulting in poor performance of those radio devices. Moreover, the static spectrum...

Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering, Communication
Description: This document is an explicit and an exclusive account on two antennas. This literatureis an attempt to solve some of the challenges for planar antennas in the frequencyindependent class and exploit the radiative nature of narrow band patch antenna...

Title: Powerline Communications Through Series Connected Switched Mode Power Converters to Be Used in Solar Microinverters
Author: Evans, Daniel
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering
Description: Modern photovoltaic converters and energy storage modules are shifting to a cascaded or distributed module-level inverters to reduce the required voltage output of each module and thereby optimizing production costs. The switch to an AC-stacked ar...

Title: The Development of the Toner Density Sensor for Closed-Loop Feedback Laser Printer Calibration
Author: Thomas, Keisha
Date Created: 2009
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering
Description: A new infrared (IR) sensor was developed for application in closed-loop feedback printer calibration as it relates to monochrome (black toner only) laser printers. The toner density IR sensor (TDS) was introduced in the early 1980's; however, due ...
