    Nolan, Keith E. (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2005)
    Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a multi-carrier wireless transmission technique. OFDM is used for robust, high quality and high data-rate music, voice, images, video, news and data broadcasts. It is ...
  • Reconfigurable software radio systems 

    Mackenzie, Philip (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2004)
    Software radio has been heralded as a significant evolutionary step for wireless technology as it allows dedicated analogue radio hardware to be replaced with flexible digital signal processing. Due to current technological ...
  • Relationship between the molecular interaction and the structure of the bent core liquid crystals in the nematic phase 

    Jang, Yun (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2012)
    The relationship between the molecular interaction and the molecular structure of the bent core mesogens in the nematic phase is investigated in detail. Various physical phenomena are observed and interpreted.
  • Rendezvous and coordination in OFDM-based dynamic spectrum access networks 

    Sutton, Paul (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2008)
    This dissertation shows that intentionally embedded cyclostationary signatures provide a robust and flexible technique for overcoming the challenge of network rendezvous and coordination in emerging Dynamic Spectrum Access ...
  • Segmentation and inpainting for stereoscopic videos 

    Raimbault, Félix (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2015)
  • Segmentation of textured images on three-dimensional lattices 

    Ranguelova, Elena Boykova (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2003)
    The development of supervised segmentation algorithms for textured images existing on three-dimensional (3-D) lattices is the central theme of this thesis. The current state of the art in 3-D segmentation has been reviewed, ...
  • The sense ensemble; An approach to music composition for deaf and hearing alike 

    HIGGS, GEORGE CHARLES (Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2018)
    Effective music composition approaches for the deaf are investigated. After a review of existing methods for deaf musical engagement, the reasons for music being popularly regarded as an auditory-centred experience are ...
  • Shape models for image segmentation in microscopy 

    Pan, Kangyu (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2013)
  • Sound Source Localization and Virtual Testing of Binaural Audio 

    O'Dwyer, Hugh (Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2021)
    This thesis is concerned with aspects of our perception of spatial audio and with novel technology used to record, analyse and present it. The field of spatial audio has become increasingly prevalent with mediums such as ...
  • Spaciousness control for sound field recording and reconstruction 

    Conceição, Marco (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2015)
