Falls are one of the greatest threats to elderly health in their daily living routines and activities. Therefore, it is very important to detect falls of an elderly in a timely and accurate manner, so that immediate response and proper care can be provided, by sending fall alarm…
This study addresses the theoretical and experimental aspects of a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) coherent random noise radar, that has been developed at the Environmental Remote Sensing Laboratory (ERSL) of the University of Nebraska Lincoln (UNL). The theory governing the operatio…
This thesis presents a body of work on the theme of millimetre-wave FMCW radar, for the purposes of security screening and remote sensing. First, the development of an optimised software radar signal processor will be outlined. Through use of threading and GPU acceleration, high…
This thesis presents work done to extend and improve the operation of homodyne dechirp-on-receive linearly frequency modulated radars. First, an investigation of the effect of common phase errors on the point response function of the radar is described. The dependence on the win…
This thesis deals with the ground-based fully polarimetric system of its design and construction arrangement. The asserted system is conducted for short range operation and adequately determines the complete polarimetric images of various natural targets. The system will be oper…
Despite Venus showing no evidence of a global system of tectonic deformation, a variety of tectonic landforms across Venus suggests a complex and active geologic history that is not fully understood. One of the most ubiquitous tectonic landforms identified are linear to arcuate,…
