The design of a simulation framework that allows for interaction with multiple computational engines through a single interface is presented. The framework was designed, not only to combine these engines under ...

In the last decades, the use of wireless communication has proliferated, which has mushroomed the amount of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in the environment. Human body interacts directly or indirectly with these EMR, ...

The unique structure of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA), a candidate for multiple access techniques for fifth-generation mobile networks, poses formidable design challenges when the number of users in the network ...

The mining industry in South Africa is one of the biggest contributors to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs almost half a million people. Most of the mines, where mostly gold, platinum and diamonds ...

The objective of the research was to achieve a non-invasive, DC-DC buck converter load current estimation technique in embedded systems. Buck converters supply power to the processor and peripherals in an embedded ...

Inertial stabilization systems are essential in ensuring that the optical system tracks the target of interest and rejects any disturbance. The work presented in this dissertation focuses on optimizing the Proportional-I ...

Antibubbles are gas bubbles with incompressible liquid cores. When stabilised, antibubbles may have specific acoustic properties that allow for localised drug delivery. The aim of this research was to ...

This dissertation presents the design and implementation of a half-car active suspension system with a pre-disturbance detection algorithm that aims at reducing driver experienced vibrations. The first research contribution ...
