Tziaros, Filotas (author)The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is emergent throughout every industrial sector worldwide. For aviation, this has opened a market gap for small scale electric aircraft configurations (e-V/STOL). These configurations are very diverse and they are classified based on how lift is obtained. However, their flight...master thesis 2023

Biliński, Filip (author)Indoor localization is an actively researched field due to there not being a universal solution found yet. Applications of such systems include but are not limited to indoor wayfinding and automated tour guides. In previous years multiple solutions were proposed. This work looks into the performance of an indoor location sensing system in the...bachelor thesis 2023

Hoogenberg, Friso (author)Gravitational waves predicted by Einstein have been measured in a few observatories worldwide. These detectors are complex interferometers with sizes of kilometers. Misalignments and aberrations in their optical set-up can create higher-order modes in the laser beam. These higher-order mode effects should be compensated to improve the...master thesis 2023

Punte, Tom (author)With every second going by, another operation is automated. Even occurring in the field of architecture, mostly through parametric design, writing of computational scripts and mathematics. The latter being one of the first methodologies to be used for automating the process of designing. One of its pre-computer era pioneers, Luigi Walter Moretti...student report 2023

Chen, Yue (author)The increasing use of automotive radars on roads has led to a significant issue of mutual interference between them. To better understand the characteristics and impact of this interference, it is necessary to perform analytical investigations of FMCW radar-to-radar interference. This thesis presents analytical models for FMCW-to-FMCW mutual...master thesis 2023

van Krimpen, Eline (author)Treatment of early stage breast cancer is generally invasive to a patient's daily life while being treated. Therefore, to diminish the physical and psychological impact during and after recovery, a newly proposed minimally invasive therapy for early-stage breast cancer treatment is proposed. Within this study, this proposed treatment is modelled...master thesis 2022

Verzijl, Hubald (author)<i>Neuropathic pain</i> (NP) affects approximately seven to ten percent of the general population. Seventeen percent of NP patients scored their life as “worse than death”. A myriad of causes may underlie NP, such as stroke or spinal cord injury. Also, damage or disease of the <i>peripheral nervous system</i> (PNS) may result in NP. One of the...master thesis 2021

Buenaventura Camps, Marta (author)New generations of mobile communications are much more demanding in order to provide critical real-time services and extremely fast connections that have become feasible with 5G. A wider spectrum is needed to achieve such high data rates and millimeter-wave frequencies are used for this purpose. Adaptive beamforming is applied at base stations...master thesis 2021

Teepe, Annick (author)Generation of high fidelity entanglement between quantum nodes is a key component of a future quantum internet. Heralded entanglement generation of two spatially separated qubit nodes can be established by interference and measurement of two photons, each entangled with one qubit state. The two-node entanglement fidelity is limited by the degree...master thesis 2021

Kappelle, Daniël (author)GNSS receivers can suffer severely from radio frequency interference (RFI). RFI can introduce errors in the position and time calculations or if the interference is very severe, can lead to a total loss of GNSS reception. This vulnerability of GNSS can have large implications on critical infrastructure such as power plants, telephony, aviation...master thesis 2021

Koenders, David (author)Underground thermal energy storage (UTES) is an efficient technique to fulfill the heating and cooling demand of buildings. UTES uses stable subsurface temperatures store and extract energy. This study covers two types of UTES systems: aquifer thermal energy systems (ATES) and borehole heat exchangers (BHE). UTES systems in the Netherlands have...master thesis 2020

Aldyth Alem Iskandar, Aldyth (author)In a future scenario, the successful development of geothermal industry will result in the large-scale deployment of new deep geothermal projects. In highly populated areas, such as the Netherlands, such a development will lead to a dense grid of neighbouring licenses. In such a situation a new project requires careful design and planning as the...master thesis 2020

van Empelen, Sjoerd (author)An experimental investigation was done regarding the propulsion system and airframe integration issues associated with the novel Flying V configuration. The experimental investigations involved a series of wind tunnel tests with a 4.6% scale half model, conducted in the TU Delft OJF low speed wind tunnel. Balance measurements allowed significant...master thesis 2020

Reinhard, Patrick (author)The main objective of this study is to quantify interference effects between production and injection wells for geothermal projects that operate within the same reservoir. The secondary objective is to study the time it takes for the reservoir unit to thermally recharge after production has stopped. Two reservoir simulators are benchmarked to...master thesis 2019

Ding, Min (author)With the increase in the number of radar systems/radio applications, FMCW radars currently face various interference problems which lead to wider noise band, rise in noise floor level and masking of weak targets. This thesis aims to eliminate different types of interference for FMCW radars.<br/>In this thesis, we propose a interference...master thesis 2019

Misra, Mohit (author)The safety in the high voltage substations rely on the integrity of its grounding grid. A single discontinuity at any part of the grounding grid may cause a swell in touch or step potential that may expose the personnel to a hazard of critical electric shock. It may also lead to malfunction of the protection devices leading to erroneous tripping...master thesis 2019

Villa, Simona (author)Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) has the potential to play a major role in the ongoing transition towards nearly zero energy buildings. However, the BIPV market is still a niche market, representing only 1% of the global PV share. One of the main barriers that hinder the deployment of BIPV is the lack of aesthetic flexibility. Architects...master thesis 2018

Zareen, Omer (author)Automotive radars play a very important role in reduction of traffic accidents and casualties by making the vehicle fully self aware of its surroundings. For the vehicle to be fully self aware multiple sensors or radars have to placed in close proximity of each other on the body of the automobile. This will lead to interference between the...master thesis 2018
