Wigan, M. (2008). A remote marriage: The theory and practice of being apart and staying together. In S. Holland (Ed.), Remote relationships in a small world (277-284). Peter Land

Small children, a time consuming job, and remote living are not conducive to a happy life. Why does one choose to do it? If one has to, how can one arrange one's life to make a family work? What can communications do to help? It is easy to ask the qu... Read More about A remote marriage: The theory and practice of being apart and staying together..

PN code acquisition with a CA-CFAR adaptive digital matched filter and its realisation using FPGA. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wie, B., Sharif, M., Almaini, A. E. A., & Binnie, D. (2006, September). PN code acquisition with a CA-CFAR adaptive digital matched filter and its realisation using FPGA. Presented at Proceedings of IEEE 13th International Conference on Systems, Signals & Image Processing, IWSSIP’06,

In this paper the performance of a Cell Averaging Constant False Alarm Rate (CA-CFAR) Pseudo-Noise (PN) code adaptive detector is analysed for a single path communication channel. The detection process uses a digital Matched Filter (MF) and is implem... Read More about PN code acquisition with a CA-CFAR adaptive digital matched filter and its realisation using FPGA..
