Piera, Sybe (author)Future human-machine control tasks with preview (e.g., car driving) are expected to include automation for safety, but keep operators in charge for liability. Such shared control applications require time-varying human identification because the control feedback should be compatible with the operator's variable behavior. A promising time-domain...master thesis 2022

Verkleij, Simon (author)Receivers for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) 5G, with the ability to detect a low-power desired signal, in the vicinity of large power blockers, require highly linear circuitry with a large power consumption. Suppressing the out-of-band blockers reduces this power consumption. N-path filters (NPFs) have recently been used to reject interferers in...master thesis 2022

Ni, Ying-Chuan (author)Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) relieves human drivers’ tasks by taking over the control of the throttle and braking of the vehicles automatically. However, it has been demonstrated in many empirical studies that current production ACC systems fail to guarantee string stability. It is believed that if vehicles can take the longitudinal dynamics...master thesis 2022

Improving the Computational Speed of a Tensor-Networked Kalman Filter for Streaming Video Completionvan Koppen, Bram (author)Streaming video completion is the practice that aims to fill in missing or corrupted pixels in a video stream by using past uncorrupted data. A method to tackle this problem is recently introduced called a Tensor Networked Kalman Filter (TNKF). It shows promising results in terms of performance compared to state-of-the-art methods for high...master thesis 2022

van der Kamp, Pieter (author)N-path filters promise to miniaturize RF receivers by replacing various fixed off-chip filters with a single programmable on-chip filter. This research investigates some of the issues of receivers with N-path filters under strong blocker conditions: reciprocal mixing and inherent nonlinearity. First, a technique for reciprocal mixing...master thesis 2022
