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 …
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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
