    • Perception of true linear self-motion using vestibular stimulation in humans : a mathametical electrophysiological analysis 

      Nolan, Hugh (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2013)
      In humans, the percept of motion is a combination ol multiple sensors modalities, primarily involving vestibular, visual and somatosensory (Ohmi, 1996). The ability to properly perceive motion enables us to function normally ...
    • Perceptually motivated audio time-frequency analysis 

      O'Donovan, Jonathan (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2001)
      Fourier analysis has long been an indispensable tool for the investigation of signals whose frequency content does not change with time. It has likewise been of fundamental importance in engineering for the study of linear ...

    • Quasiprobability density diffusion equations for the quantum Brownian motion in a potential 

      Mulligan, Bernard Patrick James (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2007)
      Wigner's [E. P. Wigner, Phys. Rev., 1932, 40, 749] representation of the density operator as a c-number quasiprobablity distribution in phase space allowing quantum mechanical averages involving the density matrix to be ...
    • Radical plumbers and playpumps 

      Borland, Ralph (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2011)
      This thesis analyses the PlayPump, a water pump powered by a children's roundabout, which is designed for use in the developing world. The PlayPump is analysed as an example of 'design for development', an area of current ...
    • Radio Access Network and Spectrum Sharing in Future Mobile Networks 

      KIBILDA, JACEK (2016)
      Future mobile networks will be characterized by wide-spread resource sharing, and a more nuanced view of what it means to offer a mobile service. The traditional view of a mobile network as a system that simply delivers ...
    • Re-Engineering Rate Distortion Optimisation in Modern Video Codecs Using a Per Clip Approach 

      Ringis, Daniel Joseph (Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2023)
      The majority of internet traffic is video content. This drives the demand for video compression to deliver high quality video at low target bitrates. Optimising the parameters of a video codec for a specific video clip ...
    • Real-time out-of-band interference reduction for OFDM-based systems 

      Selim, Ahmed (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2012)
      Interference reduction for OFDM-based systems is of increasing interest in new technologies such as dynamic spectrum access networks. In the past decade, many approaches have been proposed for reducing the interference of ...
    • Reconfigurable OFDM systems 

      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 ...
