Open-Source 4G Experimental Setup

In this work, we show how to set up a cellular LTE network for wireless experimentation and measurement, relying on commodity hardware and open-source software. We first deploy a complete LTE network on a single laptop and an SDR hardware. Then, we …

Flexible Reconfigurable Antenna Robust to Folding in Wearable Applications

In this paper, a flexible reconfigurable antenna suitable for wearable applications is presented. Thanks to the reconfiguration mechanism, the antenna is robust in terms of impedance matching to the folding of the structure.

Energy efficient reconfigurable antenna for ultra-low power IoT devices

This paper presents a very low consuming re-configurable antenna suitable for ultra-low power internet-of-things (IoT) devices. Thanks to the use of a Digital Tunable Capacitor (DTC), the antenna can be reconfigured to obtain good impedance matching …

Stratospheric platform for telecommunication missions

This paper presents the design of a stratospheric platform “Stratobus” which would among other things, perform civil and military telecommunications missions. This type of system has the potential to effectively complement existing satellite and …

Synthesis of miniature pattern-reconfigurable antennas for smart wireless sensor nodes

This paper presents an approach for the synthesis of pattern-reconfigurable antenna suitable for integration into smart wireless sensor nodes. As a proof-of-concept, a simple antenna configuration capable of steering the radiation main beam towards …

Synthesis and analysis of a monopole radiator for UWB Body Area Networks

In this paper a spline-shaped monopole radiator for utilization in Ultrawideband (UWB) Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) is presented. The antenna exhibits a good impedance matching and stable radiation patterns in the lower UWB band from 3.1 to …

Printed UWB Antenna Operating Over Multiple Mobile Wireless Standards

In this letter, a spline-shaped ultrawideband (UWB) antenna enabling simultaneous operability over multiple mobile wireless standards-namely the DCS, PCS, UMTS, and ISM bands-is proposed. The antenna is expected to exhibit a good impedance matching …

On the integration of smart antennas in Wireless Sensor Networks

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 …
