The thesis focuses on fast acquisition techniques for spread spectrum packet radio communications systems. Matched filters are often used to achieve fast acquisitions. A new synchronizer using multiple acquisition detection ...

Achieving high compression ratio without significant loss of quality is the main goal of the most standard video coding systems. Since consecutive frames of a general video sequence have high correlations, the temporal ...

Statistical analysis of 3-dimensional motions of humans, animals or objects is instrumental to establish how these motions differ, depending on various influences or parameters. When such motions involve no stretching or ...

The concept of using spread spectrum and open radio standards to provide license-free, short range Peer-to-Peer (P2P) communication is explored. This research makes use of the Time Compression Overlap Add (TC-OLA) algorithm ...
