-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)The Internet of Things is a promising technology which tends to revolutionize and connect the global world via heterogeneous smart devices through seamless connectivity. The current demand for machine-type communications ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)Spatial diversity is an effective diversity technique used in multiple antenna wireless systems. It requires that antenna elements be sufficiently distributed by at least ten times the signal wavelength (10λ). Sufficient ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)To investigate cochlear implant (CI) performance, geometric computational models of the cochlea have been used to assess and optimise electrode insertion strategies and to investigate current flow through the cochlear ...
-
A model-based deep learning approach to spectrum management in distributed cognitive radio networks (University of Pretoria, 2020)The acceleration towards the fifth generation (5G) and beyond will see the internet of things (IoT) being the primary strategy of deployment, and wireless networks will become more distributed and autonomous. Furthermore, ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)Virtual reality (VR) applications are becoming increasingly popular and are being used in various applications. VR applications can be used to simulate large real-world landscapes in a computer program for various purposes ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020-03)Bipolar complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology is the platform of choice for near-Infrared (IR) detector research because of low power consumption, increased operating speed and a high fill-factor. The ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)Driver distraction is a major cause of road accidents and fatalities, especially distraction caused by the use of phones while driving. Current driver phone use detection methods can be divided into two broad categories, ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)The increase in deployment of microgrids and the mismatch between local energy generation and demand have led to an innovative and versatile peer-to-peer (P2P) energy sharing framework to manage distributed energy resources ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)Post-implantation facial nerve stimulation is a common side-effect of cochlear electrical stimulation. Facial nerve stimulation can often be resolved through adjustments in speech processor fitting but, in some instances, ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)Reduced-control antenna arrays reduce the number of controls required for beamforming while maintaining a given array aperture. A reduced-control array for direction finding (DF), inspired by the concept of compressive ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)Energy and water insecurities are global challenges with wide impact because of their necessities, wide utilisation and interconnection with other challenges such as food insecurity, climate change and ecosystem collapse. ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)There remains a wide proliferation of second-generation frequency-modulated conical-scan seekers in the hands of irregular forces, while the understanding of what makes a jam signal effective remains unclear. It is ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)The continuously growing number of wireless devices and the demand for wireless local area network (WLAN) coverage received a lot of research and design attention during the past decade. The WLAN application is a popular ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)Modern synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems have size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-C) limitations since platforms are becoming smaller, while SAR operating modes are becoming more complex. Due to the computational ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)In the process industries, cooling capacity is an important enabler for the facility to manufacture on specification product. The cooling water network is an important part of the over-all cooling system of the facility. ...

-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)Wireless sensor networks are promising technologies for the next generation of water quality monitoring (WQM) systems as a result of their appealing promises such as on-site measurements since some water quality (WQ) ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)The thesis presents data, and fitting equations, that model the degradation of linear small signal parameters for SiGe HBT and bulk CMOS devices due to TID irradiation damage. The 0.13 µm SiGe HBT was fabricated with a ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)Wide signal bandwidths typically require receivers performing signal detection to collect very large quantities of data. However, in applications with limited size, weight and power (SWAP) requirements, reducing the ...
