Fall 2015
Although underlay networks mitigate the dual problems of spectrum congestion and spectrum under-utilization, the bi-directional (primary-to-secondary and secondary-to-primary) interference issues must be addressed to improve their reliability, coverage and capacity. To address these problems,...

Novel 3D Ultrasound Imaging Techniques Using Top-Orthogonal-to-Bottom-Electrode (TOBE) Arrays
DownloadFall 2019
Ultrasound imaging is a safe, affordable and reliable diagnostic tool widely used in medical professions. While 2D ultrasound imaging is used extensively in clinical environments, 3D ultrasound imaging has not yet seen wide clinical acceptance. This is partly due to the practical limitations on...

Transmission and Reception Techniques for Cooperative and Large-Scale MIMO Wireless Systems
DownloadFall 2014
Current and future broadband cellular systems have to employ efficient techniques for the transmission and reception of high speed data. Equipping transmitters and receivers with multiple-antennas is a major step in this direction as it has the potential of providing a substantial spatial...
