Experimental investigation of the heat generation rate of a large format pouch-type lithium-ion battery
(2023-01-03)
When battery cells are charged and discharged, heat is generated because of chemical reactions and the associated charge transport. The heat should be appropriately rejected to ensure the performance, safety, and lifespan ...
Radio Source Signal Localization Methods and Hardware Simulation
(2023-02-23)
This thesis identifies and derives several methods of transmitter localization as well as
collects several pre-existing algorithms and adapts them to the use of passive GPS interference
localization. Due to legal ...
