The detection of buried landmines or unexploded ordnances is a problem of great interest in both civilian and military applications. In such a framework, this paper presents an approach for real-time localization of unknown subsurface objects. Such a …
In this paper, the effects of geometrical perturbations on the geometry of a reference fractal antenna have been carefully analyzed to provide a set of analytic rules for describing the resonant behavior of the antenna. As regards to the antenna …
This paper presents a preliminary assessment of the potentialities of the exploitation of smart antennas in WSNs. The more trivial benefits coming from such an integration are: (a) an efficient spatial management of the radiated energy and (b) an …
