Identification of cardiac signals in ambulatory ECG data (2018)
Thesis
Torabi, M. Identification of cardiac signals in ambulatory ECG data. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223481

The Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the primary tool for monitoring heart function. ECG signals contain vital information about the heart which informs diagnosis and treatment of cardiac conditions. The diagnosis of many cardiac arrhythmias require long t... Read More about Identification of cardiac signals in ambulatory ECG data.

An evaluation of the performance of multi-static handheld ground penetrating radar using full wave inversion for landmine detection (2018)
Thesis
Sule, S. D. An evaluation of the performance of multi-static handheld ground penetrating radar using full wave inversion for landmine detection. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220903

This thesis presents an empirical study comparing the ability of multi-static and bi-static, handheld, ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems, using full wave inversion (FWI), to determine the properties of buried anti-personnel (AP) landmines. A maj... Read More about An evaluation of the performance of multi-static handheld ground penetrating radar using full wave inversion for landmine detection.

The relationship between choice of spectrum sensing device and secondary-user intrusion in database-driven cognitive radio systems (2018)
Thesis
Fanan, A. M. A. The relationship between choice of spectrum sensing device and secondary-user intrusion in database-driven cognitive radio systems. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221053

As radios in future wireless systems become more flexible and reconfigurable whilst available radio spectrum becomes scarce, the possibility of using TV White Space devices (WSD) as secondary users in the TV Broadcast Bands (without causing harmful i...

Detection performance and mitigation techniques in CR networks (2017)
Thesis
Ammar, M. Detection performance and mitigation techniques in CR networks. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219886

Pervasive wireless communications rely enormously on spectrum utilization; the increase in demand for new wireless services and their application has led to spectrum scarcity. Spectrum limitations can be resolved by cognitive radio (CR) which is a te... Read More about Detection performance and mitigation techniques in CR networks.

Introducing an effect of climate change into globals models of rain fade on telecommunications links (2014)
Thesis
Ranatunga, C. Introducing an effect of climate change into globals models of rain fade on telecommunications links. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216848

Rain attenuation limits the performance of microwave telecommunication links functioning above approximately 5 GHz. Recent studies have revealed that over the last twenty years the occurrence of rain, at intensities that cause outage on terrestrial l...

Development of a heterogeneous microwave network, fade simulation tool applicable to networks that span Europe (2012)
Thesis
Basarudin, H. Development of a heterogeneous microwave network, fade simulation tool applicable to networks that span Europe. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4212936

Radio communication systems operating at microwave frequencies are strongly attenuated by hydrometeors such as rain and wet snow (sleet). Hydrometeor attenuation dominates the dynamic fading of most types of radio links operating above 10 GHz, especi...
