Fool, Fabian (author)Currently a lot of effort is put into developing matrix arrays which allow for volumetric imaging and new applications. There are however multiple problems. Compared to arrays currently in use which have in the order of 128 elements, matrix arrays can easily contain 1000 to 10000 elements. If all elements would be connected independently, the...master thesis 2017

Van Tiggelen, M. (author)In this report, a least-squares approach is described for retrieving the 3D structure of the electron concentration in the Earth’s upper ionosphere and plasmasphere, using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data-sets from Low-Earth-Orbiting (LEO) satellites. Due to the lack of horizontal radio wave geometries, the method uses assumptions...student report 2017
