Deep congratulations to Nilan Udayanga for the successful defense of his MS thesis on “Digital 2-D/3-D Beam Filters for Adaptive Applebaum Receive and Transmit Arrays”. Nilan’s work was supported by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) (Dr. Santanu Das) and the NSF EARS program (Dr. George Haddad and Dr. Andrew Clegg).
Nilan starts work on a doctorate in Fall 2015.
Congratulations to Nilan and Viduneth and our collaborators Dr. L.T. Bruton (University of Calgary, Canada) and Dr. Pan Agathoklis (University of Victoria, Canada) for two papers accepted at IEEE ICICS, 2015, to be held in Singapore in December 2015. The papers are
Nilan Udayanga, Arjuna Madanayake and Len T. Bruton, “Increasing SINR of Microwave Applebaum Adaptive Arrays using Analog 2-D IIR Space-Time Network-Resonant Beam Filters”, and,
Viduneth Ariyaratne, Arjuna Madanayake, and Pan Agathoklis, “Wideband Mixed Microwave-Digital 2-D IIR Beam Filters for Nested Uniform Linear Array Processing”.
Congratulations to Vishwa, Suranga, and Nilan for their accepted papers at IEEE N-dimensional Systems (NDS), to be held in Vila Real, Portugal, in September 2015. The papers are
S. Handagala, A. Madanayake and N. Udayanga, “Design of a Millimeter-Wave Dish-Antenna based 3-D IIR Radar Digital Velocity Filter” and,
V. Seneviratne, A. Madanayake and N. Udayanga, “Wideband 32-element 100-MHz 2-D IIR Beam Filters using ROACH-2 Virtex-6 sx475t FPGA”.
MS student Smrity Bhattarai joins the group. She will be working on an NSF funded research on RF orbital angular momentum of photons and resulting vortex waves.
Congratulations to Sunera for successfully defending his MS thesis. Sunera’s thesis is titled “Multiplierless DFT, DCT Approximations for Multi-Beam RF Aperture and HEVC HD Video Applications: Digital Systems Implementation” and is a collaborative work with Dr. Renato Cintra and Dr. Fabio Bayer (Brazil).
Many congratulations to Arindam Sengupta, who has moved from NRAO Greenbank to Google, CA. Arindam worked on mixed microwave-digital beamformers at the ASPC lab.
