This document presents the work and progress of a radiation reconfigurable microstrip antenna. It has been designed to reconfigure its radiation pattern between broadside and endfire directions. Each configuration operates ...

Noise is an important issue in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), since the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a major limiting factor for imaging speed and the achievable spatial resolution. This thesis investigates the utility ...

This thesis discusses the problem of rapid acquisition of a transmission channel characteristics in presence of impairments such as phase hits, phase jitters, amplitude jitter and noise. The channel acquisition is achieved ...

Over the years, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology has become more prevalent in modern wireless communication systems. MIMO systems take advantage of multiple antennas at the transmitters and receivers, as ...
