In this paper, an improved 2D interpolation scheme through DFT, which takes advantage of the periodicity of DFT, is proposed. This method achieves much better performance and in addition no edge impairment can be observed when the block technique is employed for the sak...

This paper presents the performance of a patch antenna in an off-body channel within a mine gallery. A measurement campaign was performed in a gold mine in order to characterize the off-body channel by determining the channel parameters. Measurements were performed in t...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are expected to play a crucial role in the future of 5G and beyond. However, designing efficient routing protocols for UAV is challenging due to the mobility and energy constraints. This problem becomes harder in UAV-assisted 5G networks b...

A broadband power amplifier (PA) is reported using the ƒ t doubling technique which delivers more than 2 W of saturated output power over a span of 6 GHz. The PA exhibits a power gain of 12.2 ± 0.2 dB over its operating frequency range, yielding a gain-bandwidth product...

We introduce a nonparametric approach to multiscale segmentation of images using a hierarchical matrix analysis framework called diffusion wavelets. This approach benefits from the advantages of both graph theory and wavelet transform. Till now a broad range of multisca...

This paper presents a data-driven modeling and control formulation for achieving a desired product quality in a uni-axial rotational molding process. To this end, a data driven state-space model of the process is first identified using experimental data. For a given tra...

Teleoperation systems, consisting of a pair of master and slave robots are subject to different types of disturbances such as joint frictions, varying contact points, unmodeled dynamics and unknown payloads. Such disturbances, when unaccounted for, cause poor teleoperat...

Reusing existing software components improves software development productivity. Classes are basic building blocks in object-oriented programming. One of the central issues in reusing existing classes in object-orient programming is to find suitable reusable classes. Th...
