We describe and experimentally evaluate a stabilized radio-frequency transfer technique that employs optical phase sensing and optical phase actuation. This technique can be achieved by modifying existing stabilized optical frequency…
The accuracy of indoor wireless localization systems can be substantially enhanced by map-awareness, i.e., by the knowledge of the map of the environment in which localization signals are acquired. In fact, this knowledge can be exploited…
The phenomenon of avalanche-gain variations over time, particularly in Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGD) incorporating insulator materials, have been generally attributed to electric-field modifications resulting from "charging-up"…
Traditional method for measuring continuous-variable quantum entanglement relies on balanced homodyne detections, which are sensitive to vacuum quantum noise coupled in through losses resulted from many factors such as detector's quantum…
This thesis aims at investigating the first steps toward an unconditionally stable space-time isogeometric method, based on splines of maximal regularity, for the linear acoustic wave equation. The unconditional stability of space-time…
In this lecture, we describe a number of advanced gain calibration techniques. In particular, self-calibration is an important tool in interferometric imaging at all wavelengths. It allows the observer to determine and remove residual phase…
Straw tube detectors are single wire proportional counters that are widely used as a tracking device. We have carried out R$\&$D with a straw tube detector prototype. The motivation of this work is to study the stability of the performance…

In a continuous-wave terahertz system based on photomixing, the measured amplitude of the terahertz signal shows an uncertainty due to drifts of the responsivities of the photomixers and of the optical power illuminating the photomixers. We…
We consider a wireless network with multiple single-antenna repeaters that amplify and instantaneously re-transmit the signals they receive to improve the channel rank and system coverage. Due to the positive feedback formed by…
Intensity mapping observations measure galaxy clustering fluctuations from spectral-spatial maps, requiring stable noise properties on large angular scales. We have developed specialized readouts and analysis methods for achieving…
In radio astronomy, accurate calibration is of crucial importance for the new generation of radio interferometers. More specifically, because of the potential presence of outliers which affect the measured data, robustness needs to be…
Received signal strength based respiration rate monitoring is emerging as an alternative non-contact technology. These systems make use of the radio measurements of short-range commodity wireless devices, which vary due to the inhalation…
We present a compact laser frequency stabilization method by locking a 556 nm laser to a high-precision wavelength meter. Unlike traditional schemes that rely on optical cavities or atomic references, we stabilize the laser frequency via a…

Observation of redshifted 21-cm signals from neutral hydrogen holds the key to understanding the structure formation and its evolution during the reionization and post-reionization era. Apart from the presence of orders of magnitude larger…
We report on a novel method for optical microwave generation using a frequency comb based on difference-frequency generation, which passively eliminates the carrier-envelope offset frequency ($f_{\mathrm{ceo}}$), with the repetition rate…

Internal oscillations in switched antenna transmitters cause undesirable fluctuations of the stored energy in the system, reducing the effectiveness of time-varying broadbanding methods, such as energy-synchronous direct antenna modulation.…
