Beam Selection and Tracking for Amplify-and-Forward Repeaters

Andreas Peter Burg, Ruben Merz, Adrian Schumacher

Mobile network operators constantly have to upgrade their cellular network to satisfy the public's hunger for increasing data capacity. However, regulatory limits regarding allowed electromagnetic field strength on existing cell sites often limit or preven ...

Increasing Cellular Network Energy Efficiency for Railway Corridors

Andreas Peter Burg, Ruben Merz, Adrian Schumacher

Modern trains act as Faraday cages making it challenging to provide high cellular data capacities to passengers. A solution is the deployment of linear cells along railway tracks, forming a cellular corridor. To provide a sufficiently high data capacity, m ...

A New Coding Paradigm for the Primitive Relay Channel

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

We present a coding paradigm that provides a new achievable rate for the primitive relay channel by combining compress-and-forward and decode-and-forward with a chaining construction. In the primitive relay channel model, the source broadcasts a message to ...

Structured transparent low emissivity coatings with high microwave transmission

Andreas Schueler, Luc Burnier, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard

In order to reduce the energy consumption of buildings, modern windows include metal-containing coatings. These coatings strongly attenuate the microwaves used for mobile communications. Here, we present a novel approach to improve radio signal transmissio ...

Reconfigurable Pixel-Layer Isolator for Frequency-Tunable On-Frequency Repeaters

Daniel Rodrigo Lopez

The maximum gain in on-frequency repeaters is limited by the isolation level between their two antennas due to close-loop stability conditions. In this letter, a novel pixel-layer isolator for tunable on-frequency repeaters is presented. The scattered fiel ...

Extending the sensing range of Brillouin optical time-domain analysis up to 325 km combining four optical repeaters

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin, Flavien Gyger

A novel scheme is proposed to extend the sensing range of Brillouin optical time-domain analyzers (BOTDA). Specially-designed erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) repeaters are located every 65km fiber along the sensing cable to achieve a total sensing leng ...

Partially gated lateral tunnel field effect transistor for optical applications

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Nilay Dagtekin

Silicon-based partially gated tunnel FETs are characterized under optical and electrical excitation. Most significant outcomes of the experiments are (1) unique characteristics, namely, light induced negative transconductance and optically tunable output r ...

Repeater Insertion for Two-Terminal Nets in Three-Dimensional Integrated Circuits

Giovanni De Micheli, Vasileios Pavlidis, Hu Xu

A new approach for inserting repeaters in 3-D interconnects is proposed. The allocation of repeaters along an interplane interconnect is iteratively determined. The proposed approach is compared with two other techniques based on conventional methods used ...

A single-chip array of NMR receivers

Giovanni Boero, Jens Anders

We present the first single-chip array of integrated NMR receivers for parallel spectroscopy and imaging. The array, optimized for operation at 300 MHz, is composed of eight separate channels, with each channel consisting of a detection coil, a tuning capa ...
