A method to estimate trends in distributions of 1 min rain rates from numerical weather prediction data (2015)
Journal Article
Paulson, K., Ranatunga, C., & Bellerby, T. (2015). A method to estimate trends in distributions of 1 min rain rates from numerical weather prediction data. Radio science, 50(9), 931-940. https://doi.org/10.1002/2015RS005651

It is known that the rain rate exceeded 0.01% of the time in the UK has experienced an increasing trend over the last 20 years. It is very likely that rain fade and outage experience a similar trend. This paper presents a globally applicable method t... Read More about A method to estimate trends in distributions of 1 min rain rates from numerical weather prediction data.

An ultrasonic transducer transient compensator design based on a simplified Variable Structure Control algorithm (2013)
Journal Article
Ma, S., Wilkinson, A. J., & Paulson, K. S. (2014). An ultrasonic transducer transient compensator design based on a simplified Variable Structure Control algorithm. Ultrasonics, 54(2), 502-515. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ultras.2013.07.017

A non-linear control method, known as Variable Structure Control (VSC), is employed to reduce the duration of ultrasonic (US) transducer transients. A physically realizable system using a simplified form of the VSC algorithm is proposed for standard...

Spectrum occupancy survey In HULL-UK For cognitive radio applications: Measurement & analysis (2013)
Journal Article
Mehdawi, M., Riley, N., Paulson, K., Fanan, A., & Ammar, M. (2013). Spectrum occupancy survey In HULL-UK For cognitive radio applications: Measurement & analysis. International Journal of Scientific and Technology Research, 2(4), 231-236

Efficient use of the radio spectrum is a necessity for future wireless systems. Cognitive Radio (CR) systems promise large inc reases in spectral efficiency. An important design constraint for systems is understanding of the current use of frequency...

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...
