De-interleaving of Radar Pulses for EW Receivers with an ELINT Application by Aldossary, Mohammad

“…Before proposing the solution, on-line de-interleaving algorithms were surveyed. Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) is a clustering algorithm that has not been used before in de-interleaving; in this dissertation, it has proved to be effective. …”

Investigating the use of ray tracing for signal-level radar simulation in space monitoring applications: a comparison of radio propagation models by Martin, Mogamat Yaaseen

“…As such, this thesis proposes an open-source, ray-traced radar simulator that models the interactions between spaceborne targets and terrestrial radar systems. This utilises a ray-tracing algorithm to simulate the effects of debris size, shape, orientation, and material properties when computing radar signals in a typical simulation. …”

A novel method for power system stabilizer design by Chen, Lian

“…However, power systems typically have multiple "modes" that result in the optimization problem being non-convex in nature. To overcome the issue of non-convexity, the optimization algorithm, embedded in the 111 University of Cape Town sub-optimal Hoo PSS design/tuning method, is based on Population Based Incremental Learning (PBIL). …”
