Achieving high imaging resolution in conventional monostatic radar imaging with
mechanical scanning requires excessive acquisition time. Although real aperture radar …

The aim of the research is to identify the optimal method for smoothing the surface of a
hybrid digital bathymetric model (HDBM). The initiation of this research is justified by the fact …

The development of reliable seafloor topography models is a complex, multi‐track process,
which is due to the diversity of available sets of data, their resolution, acquisition methods …

Low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) are designed to amplify only the desired signal while
minimizing noise, making them essential for applications requiring precise signal detection …

Ocean mapping and nautical cartography are foundational to understanding and managing
marine environments. These fields support a wide range of applications—from safe …

Cost-effective seafloor mapping at high resolution is yet to be attained. A possible solution
consists of using a mobile, wide-aperture, sparse array with subarrays distributed across …

A future deep-ocean bathymetry sensor could be developed from a swarm of disconnected,
distributed receivers attached to Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) forming a very wide …

This thesis topic stems from a US Navy effort to alter an existing remotely operated vehicle
(ROV) system. A vehicle reliant on a tethered connection to an operator requires adaptation …
