On the space of oriented affine lines in R^3 (2004)
Journal Article
Guilfoyle, B., & Klingenberg, W. (2004). On the space of oriented affine lines in R^3. Archiv der Mathematik, 82(1), 81 - 84. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00013-003-4861-3

We introduce a local coordinate description for the correspondence between the space of oriented affine lines in Euclidean and the tangent bundle to the 2-sphere. These can be utilised to give canonical coordinates on surfaces in, as we illustrate wi... Read More about On the space of oriented affine lines in R^3.

Characterisation of Bluetooth Carrier Frequency Errors (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Robinson, C., & Purvis, A. (2003). Characterisation of Bluetooth Carrier Frequency Errors.

Bluetooth, the short range wireless communications standard, operates in the unlicensed ISM frequency band at 2.4 GHz using Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK) modulation. After a brief introduction to GFSK and FM demodulation, the paper describes... Read More about Characterisation of Bluetooth Carrier Frequency Errors.

The Development of a Digital Switched Mode Power Supply Controller and Controller Design Tool (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Maiden, A., Purvis, A., & Kinghorn, M. (2003). The Development of a Digital Switched Mode Power Supply Controller and Controller Design Tool.

This paper presents a software tool for the autonomous design of digital Switched-Mode Power Supply compensators based on step -response. The program uses a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to locate an optimal controller configuration within a search space. S...

Bi-dynamic indoor measurements with high resolution channel sounder (2002)
Conference Proceeding
Salous, S., & Hinostroza, V. (2002). Bi-dynamic indoor measurements with high resolution channel sounder.

In this paper, we describe the architecture of a fully bi-dynamic 300 MHz channel sounder developed at UMIST for indoor channel characterisation. Results of measurements in different indoor environments are presented.

Urban and suburban frequency division duplex measurements for UMTS (2002)
Conference Proceeding
Salous, S. (2002). Urban and suburban frequency division duplex measurements for UMTS.

Wideband measurements across the two frequency bands allocated for UNITS serivesc have been carried out in the dense urban environment of Manchester city centre and in the suburbas of Manchester. The data were anaylsed to characterise the differences... Read More about Urban and suburban frequency division duplex measurements for UMTS.

A single-frequency wideband chirp sounder designed and implemented at UMIST was modified to carry out Simultaneous measurements at the uplink and downlink frequencies of the UMTS bands. Measurements in the dense urban environment of Manchester city c... Read More about Dual-frequency sounder for UMTS frequency-division duplex channels.

A new algorithm for high-quality ionogram generation and analysis (2002)
Journal Article
Arikan, F., Arikan, O., & Salous, S. (2002). A new algorithm for high-quality ionogram generation and analysis. Radio Science, 37(1), https://doi.org/10.1029/2000rs002569

Standard digital ionograms that are generated by fast Fourier transform or autoregressive modeling suffer from high interference levels due to other users of the HF channel which produce artifacts and distortion, hence complicating automatic processi...

Simultaneous wideband measurements across the two-60 MHz bands allocated for the frequency division duplex UNITS channels were carried out in the dense urban environment of Manchester city-centre. Measurements with a trolley or a van are used to dete... Read More about Characterisation of W-CDMA channels in FDD units bands - 2001 IEEE 54thVehicular Technology Conference - VTC Fall '01.

Bi-dynamic UHF channel sounder for indoor measurements (2001)
Conference Proceeding
Salous, S., & Hinostroza, V. (2001). Bi-dynamic UHF channel sounder for indoor measurements.

This paper presents the architecture of a 300 MHz linearly frequency modulated sounder suitable for indoor measurements.
