MIMO techniques allow remarkable improvements in the reliability and/or transmission rate of wireless communication systems. However, there are several major challenges towards the implementation of conventional MIMO concept in terminals with size, cost, a ...
Beamforming is the technique that permits to attenuate or increase the sound coming in a particular direction, it is in other word a way to estimate the power coming from a particular direction. It is therefore also used as direction of arrival estimator ( ...
Microphone arrays are central players in hands-free speech interface applications. The main duty of a microphone array is capturing distant-talking speech with high quality. A microphone array can acquire the desired speech signals selectively by leading t ...
Antennas are an important element of Wireless Body Area Network equipments, as the quality of the antenna and its coupling to the channel will be a key component of the quality of the overall link. Indeed, the antenna and its interaction with the body of t ...
The electron cyclotron emission (ECE) and correlation ECE diagnostics in TCV have been upgraded during its 2014 shutdown; this paper will provide a brief overview on their updated architecture and capabilities. The ECE system is equipped with two radiomete ...
A tapered composite right/left-handed (CRLH) leaky-wave antenna (LWA) with reduced sidelobe level (SLL) is presented. A cosine taper design is achieved by simultaneously modifying the longitudinal period and the slot width of the mushroom CRLH structure. T ...
In this paper, we present an experiment-and simulation-based study to evaluate the use of full duplex (FD) as a potential mode in practical IEEE 802.11 networks. To enable the study, we designed a 20-MHz multiantenna orthogonal frequency-division-multiplex ...
Crucial developments to the recently introduced signal-space approach for multiplexing multiple data symbols using a single-radio switched antenna are presented. First, we introduce a general framework for expressing the spatial multiplexing relation of th ...

A major issue in Wireless Body Area Networks (W-BAN) is the reliability of the transmission in all conditions, thus in all locations and positions of the wearer. One way to achieve this is to design communication systems as independent as possible to the p ...
Linear receivers are often used to reduce the implementation complexity of multiple-antenna systems. In a traditional linear receiver architecture, the receive antennas are used to separate out the codewords sent by each transmit antenna, which can then be ...
