A Framework for NLOS Ultra-Wideband Ranging in Collaborative Mobile Robot Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, Phillip Tomé, Amanda Stella Markowska Prorok

Ultra-wideband (UWB) localization is one of the most promising indoor localization methods. Yet, non-line-of- sight (NLOS) positioning scenarios remain a challenge and can potentially cause significant localization errors. In this work, we leverage the col ...

A SHADOW MASK-EVAPORATED TOPSIDE PYROMEMS IGNITER

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, David de Koninck

A shadow mask-evaporated pyroMEMS igniter is presented. The metallization was successfully carried out without ignition or any visible degradation of the propellant charge during evaporation. Directly depositing the Joule-heating igniter onto the propellan ...

Novel Algorithms on Impulse Radio Ultra-WideBand Ranging

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, John Farserotu, Hai Zhan

We consider the problem of ranging with impulse radio (IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) radio under dense multipaths propagation environments and additive Gaussian noise. We propose a Bayesian detection algorithm where the prior distribution of the channel follows ...

Impulse Radio Ultra-WideBand ranging and localization for sensor networks

Hai Zhan

In this thesis, we focus on Impulse Radio (IR) Ultra-WideBand (UWB) ranging and positioning techniques under indoor propagation environments. IR-UWB, a new carrierless communication scheme using impulses, is a candidate technology for future communication, ...

First measurements of oblique ECE with a real-time moveable line-of-sight on TCV

Olivier Sauter, Timothy Goodman, Christian Schlatter, Igor Klimanov

Electron cyclotron (EC) emission (ECE) radiometers viewing perpendicular to the magnetic field are common on nearly all tokamaks for measuring the electron temperature with good spatio-temporal resolution. Two such radiometers are installed on TCV, one loo ...

High-Resolution Impulse Radio Ultra Wideband

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, John Farserotu, Hai Zhan

We propose a high resolution ranging algorithm for unsynchronized impulse radio Ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems in gaussian noise. We pose the ranging problem as a Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation problem for the channel delays and attenuation ...

Low delay video coding

Analogue wireless cameras have been employed for decades, however they have not become an universal solution due to their difficulties of set up and use. The main problem is the link robustness which mainly depends on the requirement of a line-of-sight vie ...

Hard X-ray CdTe tomography of tokamak fusion plasmas

Stefano Coda

A large CdTe-based tomographic system has been installed two years ago on the TORE SUPRA tokamak, for a detailed investigation of the dynamics of fast electrons generated by radio-frequency waves in Fusion plasmas, as a function of time, space and energy. ...

Cramer-Rao Bounds for Channel Estimation and Source Localization in Wireless Communications

Cyril Botteron

With the convergence of internet and wireless communications, a plethora of new services will originate. A natural application for cellular radio networks is that of radiolocation, in which the mobile unit can be positioned based on the signals received at ...
