Highly energy-efficient wireless sensor nodes are a prerequisite for a sustainable operation of the Internet of things. Therefore, classical approaches for system design based on digital signal processing are not a viable solution, but system design has to ...
Electro-optic modulators are essential for sensing, metrology and telecommunications. Most target fiber applications. Instead, metasurface-based architectures that modulate free-space light at gigahertz (GHz) speeds can boost flat optics technology by micr ...
Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) and terahertz (THz) detection has opened a significant research direction in imaging, sensing, spectroscopy, and ultrafast wireless communication.The sensitivity of the phase transition to electromagnetic waves in Vanadium dioxide ...
This paper presents a low-cost, compact, multibeam planar antenna system with a wide ±138∘ beam coverage angle at 28 GHz for 5G applications. The proposed microstrip based design includes two branch-line couplers and a Butler matrix with 2×10 and 4×10 seri ...
n-linear impedance characteristics of VO2 offer solutions to highly sensitive radio-frequency (RF), millimeterwave (mm-wave), and terahertz (THz) detectors. We demonstrate high-speed broadband sensibility of miniaturized VO2 switches by utilizing the nonli ...
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 ...
This paper discusses the design, fabrication, and measurement of a two-layer, 2×10 elliptic, microstrip series fed antenna array operating at 28 GHz for 5G and mm-wave user equipment. A branch line coupler was used as a feeding network that can generate th ...
This paper describes an all-digital backscatter modulation approach leveraging delta-sigma modulation (DSM) to improve the in-channel spectral characteristics of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) backscatter communication. We demonstrate thr ...
Fundamental constraints imposing power-frequency trade-offs in conventional electronics have stimulated research on alternative technologies for millimeter-wave and sub-millimeter-wave applications. In this work, we use the picosecond threshold firing of n ...
RF MEMS piezoelectric acoustic resonators are the essential building blocks for RF filters used in RF front-end modules for wireless mobile communication due to their compact size in the MHz-GHz frequency range, high Quality factors and large relative band ...
