Abstract:

Radio signals transmitted by GPS satellites orbiting the Earth are modulated as they propagate through the electrically charged plasmasphere and ionosphere in the near-Earth space environment. Through a linear combination of GPS range and phase measurements observed on two carrier frequencies by terrestrial-based GPS receivers, the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) along oblique GPS signal paths may be quantified. Simultaneous observations of signals transmitted by multiple GPS satellites and observed from a network of South African dual frequency GPS receivers, constitute a spatially d

Thesis (MScEng)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis pursues the establishment of a new Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) framework for South Africa. The aim of this framework is to ensure that the user is protected from sub-standard products as well as to ensure that products such as medical devices operate safely within the electromagnetic environment. The thesis presents a basic introduction into EMC and then overviews current worldwide legislation. After this information is studied a new framework is proposed for South Africa. This framework covers a

An election is a core part of any global democracy. Elections provide citizens with the opportunity to voice their opinions. South Africa achieved democracy for the first time in 1994 and has had four successful national elections since then. All of these elections have been declared “free and fair” according to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC). However, there have been various challenges facing the current South African electoral process.

In the early 1900s, election officials overwhelmingly decided to use electronic voting (E-voting) systems to solve some of the problematic issues of paper-based voting systems.

Value-Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax aimed at taxing the consumption of goods and services in South Africa. The mechanism where services supplied by non-residents are taxed within a taxing jurisdiction, is more commonly referred to as
