Modelling and Control of Small-Scale Helicopter on a Test Platform
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-23)
The helicopter is a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system with
highly coupled characteristics, which increases the complexity of the
system dynamics.
In addition, the system dynamics of the helicopter are ...
High Efficiency CMOS Power Amplifiers for Drain Modulation Based RF Transmitters
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-27)
The rapid evolution of wireless communication technologies increased the need for handheld devices that can support dissimilar standards or better user mobility and more battery life. Traditional radio architectures fail ...
A Collaborative Architecture for Distributed Intrusion Detection System based on Lightweight Modules
(University of Waterloo, 2009-07-07)
A variety of intrusion prevention techniques, such as user authentication (e.g.: using passwords), avoidance of programming errors, and information protection, have been used to protect computer systems. However, intrusion ...
Concept Mining: A Conceptual Understanding based Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-21)
Due to the daily rapid growth of the information, there are
considerable needs to extract and discover valuable knowledge from
data sources such as the World Wide Web. Most of the common
techniques in text mining are ...
Optimizations of Cisco’s Embedded Logic Analyzer Module
(University of Waterloo, 2009-07-24)
Cisco’s embedded logic analyzer module (ELAM) is a debugging device used for many of Cisco’s application specific integrated chips (ASICs). The ELAM is used to capture data of interest to the user and stored for analysis ...
Modeling and Controller Design of a Wind Energy Conversion System Including a Matrix Converter
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-30)
In this thesis, a grid-connected wind-energy converter system including a matrix converter is proposed. The matrix converter, as a power electronic converter, is used to interface the induction generator with the grid and ...
Network-Layer Resource Allocation for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-14)
This thesis contributes toward the design of a quality-of-service (QoS) aware network layer for wireless ad hoc networks. With the lack of an infrastructure in ad hoc networks, the role of the network layer is not only to ...
Secure and Privacy-Preserving Vehicular Communications
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-13)
Road safety has been drawing increasing attention in the public, and has been subject to extensive efforts from both industry and academia in mitigating the impact of traffic accidents. Recent
advances in wireless technology ...
Analysis of Parameterized Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-10)
In particular, the thesis will focus on parameterized networks of discrete-event systems. These are collections of interacting, isomorphic subsystems, where the number of subsystems is, for practical purposes, arbitrary; ...
Risk Minimization in Power System Expansion and Power Pool Electricity Markets
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-21)
Centralized power system planning covers time windows that range
from ten to thirty years. Consequently, it is the longest and most
uncertain part of power system economics. One of the challenges that
power system ...
