A Phase Correction Technique Based on Spatial Movements of Antennas in Real-Time (S.M.A.R.T.) for Designing Self-Adapting Conformal Array Antennas
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
This research presents a real-time adaptive phase correction technique for flexible phased array antennas on conformal surfaces of variable shapes. Previously reported pattern correctional methods for flexible phased array ...
Detection and Quantification of Rare Analytes in Biological Samples using Dielectrophoretic Spectroscopy
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Novel techniques for Dielectrophoresis (DEP) crossover frequency calculation, positive dielectrophoretic spectroscopy and negative dielectrophoretic spectroscopy are proposed in this dissertation. A novel automated immunoassay ...
Cardiac Output Improvement in Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Mechanical circulatory support devices (MCSDs) have gained widespread clinical acceptance as an effective heart failure (HF) therapy. The concept of harnessing the kinetic energy (KE) available in the forward aortic flow ...
Nonlinear Compensation in Optical Communications Systems using the Nonlinear Fourier Transform
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Nonlinear effects in optical fibers impose a capacity limit for optical communication systems. In this dissertation, the nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT) is investigated as a method to mitigate and compensate for those ...
