Speech synthesis parameter generation for the assistive silent speech interface MVOCA (2011)
Journal Article
Hofe, R., Ell, S. R., Fagan, M. J., Gilbert, J. M., Green, P. D., Moore, R. K., & Rybchenko, S. I. (2011). Speech synthesis parameter generation for the assistive silent speech interface MVOCA. Proceedings of the Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association, INTERSPEECH, 3009 - 3012

In previous publications, a silent speech interface based on permanent-magnetic articulography (PMA) has been introduced and evaluated using standard automatic speech recognition techniques. However, word recognition is a task that is computationally... Read More about Speech synthesis parameter generation for the assistive silent speech interface MVOCA.

The measurement of rain kinetic energy and rain intensity using an acoustic disdrometer (2011)
Journal Article
Winder, P., & Paulson, K. S. (2012). The measurement of rain kinetic energy and rain intensity using an acoustic disdrometer. Measurement Science and Technology, 23(1), 015801. https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-0233/23/1/015801

Microwave engineers and geomorphologists require rainfall data with a much greater temporal resolution and a better representation of the numbers of large raindrops than is available from current commercial instruments. This paper describes an acoust... Read More about The measurement of rain kinetic energy and rain intensity using an acoustic disdrometer.

Trends in the incidence of rain height and the effects on global satellite telecommunications (2011)
Journal Article
Paulson, K., & Al-Mreri, A. (2011). Trends in the incidence of rain height and the effects on global satellite telecommunications. IET Microwaves Antennas and Propagation, 5(14), 1710-1713. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-map.2010.0507

Satellite communications using millimetre waves, in Ka band and above, experience significant fading by rain. Strong attenuation is experienced between the ground station and a level known as the rain height, in ITU-R recommendations assumed to be 36...

A rain height model to predict fading due to wet snow on terrestrial links (2011)
Journal Article
Paulson, K., & Al-Mreri, A. (2011). A rain height model to predict fading due to wet snow on terrestrial links. Radio science, 46(4), Article RS4010. https://doi.org/10.1029/2010rs004555

Recommendation ITU‐R P.530‐13 provides an internationally recognized prediction model for the fading due to wet snow on low‐elevation, terrestrial microwave links. An important parameter in this model is the altitude difference between the link and t... Read More about A rain height model to predict fading due to wet snow on terrestrial links.

Development of a heterogeneous microwave network fade simulation tool applicable to networks that span Europe (2011)
Journal Article
Paulson, K. S., & Basarudin, H. (2011). Development of a heterogeneous microwave network fade simulation tool applicable to networks that span Europe. Radio science, 46(4), Article RS4004. https://doi.org/10.1029/2010rs004608

Several research groups in Europe are developing joint channel simulators for arbitrarily complex networks of terrestrial and slant path, microwave telecommunications links. Currently, the Hull Rain Fade Network Simulator (HRFNS) developed at Univers...
