Two Port Network Theory Based Design Method of Broadband Doherty Power Amplifier
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-21)LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) is a widely used communication standard and it mainly features Carrier aggregation (CA). CA increases the user data rate and efficiently exploits the fragmented spectrum by combining various carrier ... -
Two results on words
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)The study of combinatorial patterns of words has raised great interest since the early 20th century. In this master's thesis presentation we study two combinatorial patterns. The first pattern is “abelian k-th power free” ... -
Two- and Three-Dimensional Coding Schemes for Wavelet and Fractal-Wavelet Image Compression
(University of Waterloo, 2001)This thesis presents two novel coding schemes and applications to both two- and three-dimensional image compression. Image compression can be viewed as methods of functional approximation under a constraint on the amount ... -
A Two-Armed Forward Dynamic Model of a Golf Drive: A Simulation and Optimization Tool for Golf Equipment and Biomechanics
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-27)Golf club manufacturers and golf’s governing bodies both have clear interests in understanding how equipment design changes affect the performance of a golfer. Traditionally, to capture this interaction it was necessary ... -
Two-Class M/M/1 Make-to-Stock Queueing Systems with Both Backlogs and Lost Sales
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-26)We introduce a new simple allocation policy which is a very good approximation of the optimal allocation policy in an inventory system with a single product and two priority classes of customers. A production facility ... -
Two-Color Chirped-Pulse Amplification Fiber Amplifier, for Mid-Infrared Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-22)The goal of this thesis is developing a two-color Ytterbium (Yb) fiber amplifier system that can be used for generation of mid-infrared radiation. Previously, our group reported generating 20 µW of average power, at a ... -
Two-Color Ultrafast Yb:Fiber Chirped Pulse Amplifier for Mid-Infrared Generation and Sensitive Mid-Infrared Detector Based on Extreme Non-Degenerate Two Photon Absorption in GaAs
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-12)This thesis outlines the development and optimization of a two-color three-stage ultrafast Yb:fiber chirped pulse amplifier for the generation of mid-infrared (MIR) radiation and a novel sensitive mid-infrared detector by ... -
Two-Colour Nonlinear Amplification for Mid-infrared Generation by Difference Frequency Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-16)In this thesis, I discuss the development of a two-colour laser system which uses an all-normal dispersion fiber laser in combination with a gain-managed nonlinear amplifier as its broadband source. The goal is to develop ... -
Two-Dimensional Anisotropic Cartesian Mesh Adaptation for the Compressible Euler Equations
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Simulating transient compressible flows involving shock waves presents challenges to the CFD practitioner in terms of the mesh quality required to resolve discontinuities and prevent smearing. This document discusses ... -
Two-Dimensional Phononic Crystal Simulation and Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This thesis presents the design of a two-dimensional phononic band gap crystal simulator, and phononic crystal analysis. <br /><br /> Phononic crystals and their application to microwave acoustic filters are studied. ... -
Two-Echelon Supply Chain Design for Spare Parts with Time Constraints
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-25)We consider a single-part, two-echelon supply chain problem for spare parts. The network consists of a single manufacturing plant, a set of service centers (SCs) and a set of customers. Both echelons keep spare parts using ... -
A Two-Phase Maintenance and Rehabilitation Framework for Pavement Assets under Performance Based Contracts
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-30)Traditional Canadian pavement construction contracts provide detailed specifications for the work that needs to be carried out. This is the case for both maintenance and rehabilitation contracts. However, for many road ... -
