Wireless sensing systems based on passive UHF RFID technology for physical parameters measurement
DownloadSpring 2023
Sensing and monitoring using the conventional microwave, optical, and waveguide methods have been the focus of many researchers for the past two decades. However, the limitations imposed by these techniques such as power inefficiency and the use of complex readout circuitries are the important...

Wind Tunnel Investigation of the Effect of Duct and Cross-flow on Small Propellers for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
DownloadFall 2018
The expanding field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has introduced a variety of flight operating conditions and thus, performance requirements. As a method to improve performance in the propulsion systems of UAVs, two topics of interest are emphasized in this thesis: the potential improvements...

Wind Resource Assessment for the Donadeo Innovation Centre for Engineering (DICE) building at the University of Alberta North Campus
DownloadSpring 2018
The implementation of small wind turbines in the urban environment with the intention of producing energy in high demand areas (cities), and reduce carbon footprint has been met generally with less than successful results. . The primary challenge in these projects is to understand the wind field,...
