Naranjo, D. (author), Parisi, Laura (author), Jónsson, Sigurjón (author), Jousset, Philippe (author), Werthmüller, D. (author), Weemstra, C. (author)The timing of the recordings of ocean-bottom seismometers (OBSs) is critical for accurate earthquake location and Earth model studies. GNSS signals, however, cannot reach OBSs deployed at the ocean bottom. This prevents their clocks from being synchronized with a known reference time. To overcome this, we developed OCloC, a Python package that...abstract 2023

Rajan, R.T. (author), Van der Veen, A.J. (author)Synchronization and localization are critical challenges for the coherent functioning of a wireless network of mobile nodes. In this paper, a novel joint non-linear range and affine time model is presented based on two way time stamp exchanges, extending an existing affine time-range model. For a pair of nodes, a closed form pairwise least...conference paper 2013

Abel, Felix (author), Sundaramoorthy, P.P. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)Recently, an increase in distributed space systems and a rise in number of nodes in such systems is observed in numerous space applications, for example space-based interferometry. Such applications pose stringent demands on time synchronization which can be challenging to achieve for satellite networks that lack an absolute time reference...conference paper 2022

Kotti, Sofia Eirini (author), Heusdens, R. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)The use of wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs) has received increased attention over the last decade. The advantages of WASNs over stand-alone multi-microphone devices are that the microphone array is not anymore limited by the dimensions of a single device, and that microphones can be placed at arbitrary locations. One of the...conference paper 2020

Xie, Y. (author), Janssen, G.J.M. (author), van der Veen, A.J. (author)A clock synchronization scheme is crucial for obtaining accuracy in time-based positioning systems. Existing clock synchronization schemes are mostly based on a simplified linear clock model, which unfortunately have a poor long-term synchronization accuracy. Assuming a two-way time transfer protocol, we propose a novel clock synchronization...conference paper 2016

Karmakar, S. (author), Gonen, B. (author), Sebastiano, F. (author), Van Veldhoven, Robert (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)Micro-power ADCs with high linearity and dynamic range (DR) are required in several applications, such as smart sensors, biomedical imaging, and portable instrumentation. Since the signals of interest are then often small (tens of μν) and slow (<1kHz BW), such ADCs should also exhibit low offset and flicker noise. Noise-shaping SAR [1] and...conference paper 2018

Kazaz, T. (author), Coutino, Mario (author), Janssen, G.J.M. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), van der Veen, A.J. (author)Synchronization and ranging in internet of things (IoT) networks are challenging due to the narrowband nature of signals used for communication between IoT nodes. Recently, several estimators for range estimation using phase difference of arrival (PDoA) measurements of narrowband signals have been proposed. However, these estimators are based...conference paper 2019

Dirkx, D. (author)Measurements of the motion of natural (and artificial) bodies in the solar system provide key input on their interior structre and properties. Currently, the most accurate measurements of solar system dynamics are performed using radiometric tracking systems on planetary missions, providing range measurement with an accuracy in the order of 1 m....doctoral thesis 2015

Chepuri, S.P. (author)In today's society, we are flooded with massive volumes of data in the order of a billion gigabytes on a daily basis from pervasive sensors. It is becoming increasingly challenging to locally store and transport the acquired data to a central location for signal/data processing (i.e., for inference). To alleviate these problems, it is evident...doctoral thesis 2016

Gao, Z. (author)Reducing power consumption is becoming increasingly important for the sustainability of the communication industry because it is expected to consume a significant portion of the global electricity in the face of the exponentially increasing demands on the volume and rate of data transmission. As the scope narrows to the individual wireless...doctoral thesis 2023

Van Kasteren, J. (author)More eloquent alternatives to the harsh tones of the oldfashioned alarm-clock bells abound, including a newsreaders voice summing up last nights disasters, or a tape of your favourite early morning music. Still, getting out of bed has its difficult moments. All this could well change in the near future, if Ir. Stephan Wensveen, a graduate...journal article 2002

Hauschild, A. (author), Montenbruck, O. (author), Sleewaegen, J.M. (author), Huisman, L. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)An analysis of observations from China’s first medium earth orbit satellite Compass M-1 is presented, with main focus on the first orbit and clock solution for this satellite. The orbit is computed from laser ranging measurements. Based on this orbit solution, the apparent clock offset is estimated using measurements from two GNSS receivers,...journal article 2011

Schiller, S. (author), Tino, G.M. (author), Gill, E. (author)The Einstein Gravity Explorer mission (EGE) is devoted to a precise measurement of the properties of space-time using atomic clocks. It tests one of the most fundamental predictions of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, the gravitational redshift, and thereby searches for hints of quantum effects in gravity, exploring one of the most...journal article 2008

Van Bree, R.J.P. (author), Tiberius, C.C.J.M. (author)The performance of real-time single-frequency precise point positioning is demonstrated in terms of position accuracy. This precise point positioning technique relies on predicted satellite orbits, predicted global ionospheric maps, and in particular on real-time satellite clock estimates. Results are presented using solely measurements from a...journal article 2011
