RTK-GNSS (Real Time Kinematic - Global Navigation Satellite System) is based on a ‘rover’ GNSS antenna that receives error correction information from a ‘base’ GNSS antenna. While the rover can be placed on a robot to move around, the base station has the additional ‘knowledge’ of being stationary. …

With this contribution, the results of the measurement campaign performed with a synchronously distributed antenna array testbed operating at the center frequency of 3.686 GHz are presented. For the first time, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the electric field distribution indu ced by coherent …

As in many other countries worldwide, the coronavirus pandemic prompted the implementation of an “intelligent lockdown” in the spring of 2020 in the Netherlands, including the closure of nightlife venues and cancellation of festivals. Such restrictions and social distancing could particularly affect …

This thesis discusses the progress made on the development of superficial hyperthermia treatment planning. For superficial hyperthermia treatment, contact flexible microstrip applicators (CFMA) are used. These applicators are bent along the body curvature of the patient. A software tool, written in …

A main challenge in single emitter microscopy is that it is difficult to efficiently collect all the emitted light from single photon sources. Due to the dipole nature of the single photon sources, is it hard to measure the brightness of these molecules in a calibrated manner, since the light is not …

The aquaculture sector is expanding worldwide, which gives this sector an important economic potential. A problem for the on land aquaculture sector is that there is insufficient quality feed for cultivating fish larvae and shellfish. Based on this problem the RAAQUA project was launched (Robust Algae …

Cancer is a worldwidehuman health problem.This is why much effortis put in finding solutions and treatments for this disease. One of the emerging adjuvant cancer treatments, hyperthermia, is applied by heating the tumourtissue, and is shown to increase the effects of radio and/ or chemotherapy. Because …

In this report the properties of the E-field sheet have been measured. Also the connection between the E-field sheet and the pc has been developed. For visualisation of the data a GUI has been made in Matlab which also reads out the data from the DAQ card. Before a measurement on the clinical equipment …

Software-Defined Receivers (SDR) are radio receivers that contain as few hardware components as possible. In such a receiver, the signal processing block then starts as close as possible after the antenna, and is carried out with scripts running on a general-purpose processor contrary to traditional …
