ORION: Orientation estimation using commodity Wi-Fi

With MIMO, Wi-Fi led the way to the adoption of antenna array signal processing techniques for fine-grained localization using commodity hardware. These techniques, previously exclusive to specific domains of applications, will spur interest to reach …

Improving Energy Efficiency of Mobile WSN Using Reconfigurable Directional Antennas

Reconfigurable directional antennas (RDA) bring new opportunities to reduce data collision in wireless sensor networks (WSN). In this letter, a new reconfigurable directional antenna-based receiver-Initiated cycled receiver (RDA-RICER) medium access …

A wake-up receiver with ad-hoc antenna co-design for wearable applications

Body Area Networks (BAN) have received significant attention in recent years and have found a wide range of applications, including wearable devices for fitness and health tracking, and mobile communications. Battery lifetime continues to be the main …

RSSI measurements to achieve mouse localization in a cage

The need in biological telemetry relevance has been growing steadily for many years. A localization system, working in the SRD (Short Range Devices) frequency band of 863870MHz dedicated to the laboratory mice, is presented in this paper. It is …

A PSO-Driven Spline-Based Shaping Approach for Ultrawideband (UWB) Antenna Synthesis

Synthesis of ultrawideband (UWB) antennas by means of a particle swarm optimizer (PSO)-driven spline-based shaping approach is described. In order to devise a reliable and effective solution, such a topic is analyzed according to different …

A time-based approach for the synthesis of antennas for UWB communication systems

In this paper, an innovative approach for the synthesis of antennas fitting the requirements of an UWB communication system has been presented. Such an approach allows one to design UWB antennas with distortionless propagation properties as well as …
