Hernandez-Burgos, Sergi (author), Gibert, Ferran (author), Broquetas, Antoni (author), Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), De la Cruz, Adrian Flores (author), Gomez-Olive, Adria (author), Garcia-Mondejar, Albert (author), Aparici, Monica Roca i. (author)The 2-D frequency-based omega-K method is known to be a suitable algorithm for fully focused SAR (FF-SAR) radar altimeter processors, as its computational efficiency is much higher than equivalent time-based alternatives without much performance degradation. In this article, we provide a closed-form description of a 2-D frequency-domain omega...journal article 2024

Altiparmaki, O. (author), Amraoui, Samira (author), Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), Moreau, Thomas (author), Maraldi, Claire (author), Visser, P.N.A.M. (author), Naeije, M.C. (author)This study presents the first azimuth cutoff analysis in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) altimetry, aiming to assess its applicability in characterizing sea-state dynamics. In SAR imaging, the azimuth cutoff serves as a proxy for the shortest waves, in terms of wavelength, that can be detected by the satellite under certain wind and wave...journal article 2024

Spiekhout, Sander (author), van Elburg, Benjamin (author), Voorneveld, J.D. (author), de Jong, N. (author), Versluis, Michel (author), Bosch, Johannes G. (author), Segers, Tim (author)Phospholipid-coated microbubbles with a uniform acoustic response are a promising avenue for functional ultrasound sensing. A uniform acoustic response requires both a monodisperse size distribution and uniform viscoelastic shell properties. Monodisperse microbubbles can be produced in a microfluidic flow focusing device. Here, we investigate...journal article 2024

Xue, H. (author), Zheng, Qianqian (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)Human moods are diffuse, elusive, and often difficult to articulate, yet they hold immense potential for wellbeing-centric design because they play a significant role in shaping our everyday life experiences. A person’s mood influences their experiences with a designed system, and in turn, their interactions with the design also influence their...conference paper 2023

Rivandi, H. (author), Lopes Marta da Costa, T.M. (author)Ultrasound (US) neuromodulation and ultrasonic power transfer to implanted devices demand novel ultrasound transmitters capable of steering focused ultrasound waves in 3D with high spatial resolution and US pressure, while having a miniaturized form factor. Meeting these requirements needs a 2D array of ultrasound transducers directly...journal article 2023

(author)Two decades of research on droplet formation in microchannels have led to the widely accepted view that droplets form through the squeezing mechanism when interfacial forces dominate over viscous forces. The initially surprising finding that the volume of the droplets is insensitive to the relative importance of these two forces is nowadays...journal article 2023

Diekmann, Leon (author), Vasconcelos, Ivan (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Snieder, Roel (author)Marchenko-type integrals typically relate so-called focusing functions and Green's functions via the reflection response measured on the open surface of a volume of interest. Originating from one dimensional inverse scattering theory, the extension to two and three dimensions set in motion various new developments regarding imaging in complex...journal article 2023

Ehlers, F. (author), Schlembach, Florian (author), Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author)We demonstrate in this work how we can take advantage of known unfocused SAR (UF-SAR) retracking methods (e.g. the physical SAMOSA model) for retracking of fully-focused SAR (FF-SAR) waveforms. Our insights are an important step towards consistent observations of sea surface height, significant wave height and backscatter coefficient (wind...journal article 2023
