Small antennas with broad beamwidth integrated on a drone enclosed in a protective structure

In this paper, we analyze the integration of small antennas in a drone protected by a conductive structure. They must be light and resistant to provide high collision resilience, which is critical for drones flown indoors and in complex environments. To ac ...

Feedback-Aware Precoding for Millimeter Wave Massive MIMO Systems

Andreas Peter Burg, Reza Ghanaatian Jahromi

Millimeter wave (mmWave) communication is a promising solution for coping with the ever-increasing mobile data traffic because of its large bandwidth. To enable a sufficient link margin, a large antenna array employing directional beamforming, which is ena ...

Towards More Accurate Radio Telescope Images

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Radio interferometry usually compensates for high levels of noise in sensor/antenna electronics by throwing data and energy at the problem: observe longer, then store and process it all. We propose instead a method to remove the noise explicitly before ima ...

OMP with Unknown Filters for Multipath Channel Estimation

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic

We study a modification of the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) for estimating sparse multipath channels. The reflectors that generate the multipath components are not ideal; rather, they act as filters, so that the returned pulses are reshaped and widene ...

The Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) Multiplexing Controversy: OAM as a subset of MIMO

Juan Ramon Mosig, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Michele Tamagnone, Santiago Capdevila Cascante, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva

Recently the orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing scheme has been proposed to increase supposedly without limit the channel capacity between a transmitter and a receiver nodes communicating in line of sight. A controversy arose about the far-field e ...
