Implementation of the Transmitting Functionality on the TIGER-3 FPGA-based Transceiver Platform by Wolpe, Luka

“…The TIGER-3 transceiver is built around a Virtex-5 FPGA that is connected to various peripherals such as ADCs, DACs, and digital step attenuators that make it perfectly suited to a wide variety of HF radar applications. Currently, the mode of operation of the TIGER-3 platform is limited, as South African National Space Agency (SANSA) does not have access to the source code. …”

When will the lokshin MyCiTi bus arrive for first thursdays in the city? Exploring township-dwelling people s perspectives on mobility for discretionary activity participation af... by Fischer, Ayanda

“…The findings of the study reveal that trip-making for discretionary activity participation among a vulnerable group is limited not necessarily by choice, but by income constraints, spatial disadvantage, a sense of not belonging to historically Whites-only areas of Cape Town and the aggravation of insufficient frequency of preferred public transportation modes during the evening time. …”
