Combining thermal insulation and mobile communication in buildings: influence of laser-treated glazing on microwave propagation

Andreas Schueler, Josef Andreas Schuler, Luc Burnier, Jérémy Jacques Antonin Fleury, Héloïse Ludivine Delaporte

With the purpose of reducing the heating energy in buildings, it is common practice to install energy-efficient windows to increase the thermal insulation of a façade. These insulating glass units (IGIJ) include a thin silver coating acting as an infrared ...

A Correlation-Based Electromagnetic Time Reversal Technique to Locate Indoor Transient Radiation Sources

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Zhaoyang Wang, Qi Li

To overcome the multipath interference in locating transient electromagnetic (EM) radiation sources in an indoor environment, we propose a criterion that calculates the correlation between back-propagated signals from observation points, to be used in EM t ...

Rainfall retrieval with commercial microwave links in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Timothy Hugh Raupach

In the last decade there has been a growing interest from the hydrometeorological community regarding rainfall estimation from commercial microwave link (CML) networks. Path-averaged rainfall intensities can be retrieved from the signal attenuation between ...

All-fiber molecular frequency reference at 2 μm based on a versatile laser modulation sideband locking and a hollow-core fiber gas cell

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow

Sensing of atmospheric trace gases is crucial for climate monitoring and to predict global climate changes. The required global coverage and spatial resolution have driven the studies of space-borne differential absorption lidar (DIAL) instruments to remot ...

GNSS Multipath Estimation and Mitigation Using a Rotating Antenna

Pierre-André Farine, Joaquin Cabeza de Pablo, Cyril Botteron, Miguel Angel Ribot Sanfelix

We describe the experimental framework that we have developed to study the use of synthetic aperture in GNSS receivers to estimate and mitigate multipath interference. By combining the signal received by a single moving antenna during different time instan ...

Diffusion LMS localization and tracking algorithm for wireless cellular networks

Ali H. Sayed

We propose a distributed least-mean squares (LMS) procedure based on a diffusion strategy for localization and tracking of mobile terminals in cellular networks. In the proposed algorithm, collaborating base stations measure two sets of parameters, namely, ...

Fundamental limits and optimal operation in large wireless networks

Ayfer Özgür Aydin

Wireless adhoc networks consist of users that want to communicate with each other over a shared wireless medium. The users have transmitting and receiving capabilities but there is no additional infrastructure for assisting communication. This is in contra ...

Time of flight estimation method using beamforming for acoustic tomography

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ali Hormati, Ivana Jovanovic

It is disclosed an acoustic tomography method to improve the time of flight estimation, said method comprising the steps of: sequentially triggering a set of N transmitters so as to generate a sequence of N acoustic waves through a volume being scanned; re ...

Resonant Doppler flow imaging and optical vivisection of retinal blood vessels

Theo Lasser, Cédric Blatter, Rainer Leitgeb, Martin Villiger, Adrian Bachmann

For Fourier domain optical coherence tomography any sample movement during camera integration causes blurring of interference fringes and as such reduction of sensitivity for flow detection. The proposed method overcomes this problem by phase-matching a re ...

Wireless Operators in a Shared Spectrum

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mark Felegyhazi

So far, cellular networks have been operated in "private" frequency bands. But recently, several researchers and legislators have argued in favor of a more flexible and more efficient management of the spectrum, leading to the possible coexistence of sever ...

Cramer-Rao bounds for the estimation of multipath parameters and mobiles' positions in asynchronous DS-CDMA systems

Cyril Botteron

Commercial applications for the location of subscribers of wireless services continue to expand. Consequently, finding the Cramer–Rao lower bound (CRLB), which serves as an optimality criterion for the location estimation problem, is of interest. In this p ...
