This report presents the design and simulation of code and carrier tracking system for a GNSS receiver. The GNSS receiver processes the signal sent by satellites in space. These signal contain carrier wave signal, ranging code and navigation data in encrypted form. To demodulate the navigation data, the processing block should accurately track the phase of incoming code and the frequency of incoming ...

This master thesis reports on the research of simulating hill ascensions on winter roads. By utilizing Python and Excel a simple prototype simulation was created. This simulation shows the velocity changes during the ascension, with different variables such as: initial velocity, gear, weight distribution, environment etc. The variables used are mostly based on real life measurements, with a ...

In this thesis, the ability of CharRNN models learning to compose guitar music using varying representations of guitar tablature is explored. I utilize a well-versed sequential model of LSTM cells, and investigate the ability of said model to input, and predict both character to character, and sequence to sequence, following the principles of natural language processing and music information ...

This thesis will explore interaction between non-supervised machinelearning agents, with a focus on traffic situations. We intend to showthat self-interested agents can arrive at mutually beneficial strategiesaccording to general game theory, achieving pure or mixed Nash equi-libria, and that this has practical applications for unmanned vehicles.We will start by verifying against simple one stage ...

In this thesis, we establish the theoretical foundation for determining the minimum requirements for charging infrastructures in networks where electric ferries operate on a fixed schedule. The problem - named the Multiple-Trip Electric Charging Station Placement (MT-ECSP) - is formulated as a 0-1 Integer Program, and is subsequently proven to be NP-hard. We construct several instances of the ...

A phasor measurement unit (PMU) has a unique ability of providing synchronized phasor measurements of voltage and currents. This ability distinguishes it from all other metering devices. It has been perceived that PMUs hold the capability of revolutionizing the way of power system monitoring and control. However, high per unit cost and challenges related to its communication system has made ...

In this thesis a mathematical quadrotor model based on cascade modeling theory, using a passivity-based control solution is derived and presented. The rotation and translation cascades are rst decoupled, modeled mathematically and simulated separately to test individual control solutions and stability, followed by total system modeling and simulations to verify the control solutions and stability ...
