Recently, there have been increasing interests to characterize the UHF wideband mobile reception. In the literature, there are several studies on UHF mobile reception for cellular phone systems, however, most of them addresses narrowband services. This paper presents propagation measurement results on UHF TV band using the ATSC Digital Television as a sounding signal to study the characteristic...

In this paper, we consider a dual channel signal model with common frequency that is appropriate in a plurality of measurement setups, including impedance measurements and imbalance measurement in direct conversion RF receivers. We investigate on a new approach and present analysis of parameter estimation, specifically the seven parameter dual channel sine fit in which the signals from both cha...

This thesis presents two diboson measurements with the ATLAS experiment. The first is a differential measurement of Higgs boson observables in the four-lepton decay channel at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV. The second presents a first measurement of the WZ diboson production cross section in the three-lepton decay channel at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. Special emphasis is given to the identification techniques of pr...

Recently, diffuse speckle contrast analysis (DSCA) was introduced as a competent modality for deep tissue blood flow measurement, where the speckle contrast is calculated over spatial domain on the CCD image of diffuse reflectance. In this paper, we introduce time-domain DSCA where temporal statistics are used for speckle contrast calculation and results in the same deep tissue flow measurement...

The problem of identifying clusters from MIMO measurement data is addressed. Conventionally, visual inspection has been used for cluster identification, but this approach is impractical for a large amount of measurement data. For automatic clustering, the multipath component distance (MCD) is used to calculate the distance between individual multipath components estimated by a channel parameter...

This paper presents the experimental set-up description and some results of a channel impulse response measurement campaign. The measurements were performed in the frequency domain, in the 40 GHz band, and the channel impulse response was obtained applying spectral analysis. A wide indoor sports pavilion was selected for the experiments, considering several static discrete positions for the mob...

Adapting OFDM for vehicular communication requires extensive knowledge of anticipated multipath and Doppler environments. We present a GPS-enabled channel sounding system built and used to conduct a channel measurement campaign. Tests conducted at the 700 MHz band in and around downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan, explored various vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside channel scenarios. The measu...

Shear flows of granular materials are studied in an open channel. The wall shear is calculated from an open channel momentum equation which includes the density variations in the flow. An experimental technique was developed that allowed the measurement of the average density of the flow at different longitudinal locations in the channel. Two sizes of glass beads are examined and results show t...

This paper describes the overall procedure of radio channel model parameterization – from channel measurements to the environment dependent model parameters. The process contains following steps: measurement campaign, data conversion stages, data post-processing, use of super-resolution algorithms, and parameterization of the channel model according to a set of analysis items. Each of the steps...

Temporal-Angular channel sounding measurements of an indoor millimeter wave channel (60 GHz) is analyzed to determine the location of two dimensional clusters of arrivals at the receiver. The measurement scenarios are also emulated by a ray tracing tool. The results are similarly analyzed to verify possible agreements and determine the effectiveness of such tools in predicting cluster locations...
