Massive-multiple input multiple output (MIMO) was recently proposed as a key solution for improving the performance of multi-user MIMO in future cellular generations. The main paradigm in this novel MIMO technique is to use a very large number of antenna e ...
New generations of wireless communication systems require linear efficient RF power amplifiers (PAs) for higher transmission data rates and longer battery life. On the contrary, conventional PAs are normally designed for peak efficiency under maximum outpu ...
Far-field remotely powered sensor systems enable long distance operation for low-power sensor systems. In this work, we demonstrate a remote powering platform with a miniaturized antenna and remote powering base station operating at 2.45 GHz. The rectenna, ...
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is built of two types of nodes: regular sensor nodes and base stations. The regular sensor nodes monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, pressure, etc. and cooperatively pass their data thro ...
We consider a multiuser OFDM system in which users want to transmit videos via a base station. The base station knows the channel state information (CSI) as well as the rate distortion (RD) information of the video streams and tries to allocate power and s ...

This work discusses the remote powering link of a passive UHF RFID tag for sensor applications. The design, implementation, and measurements of the base-station antenna, tag antenna, and the rectifier are presented. The base-station antenna is a 50 Ω recta ...
With an increasing number of rich embedded sensors, like accelerometer and GPS, smartphone becomes a pervasive people-centric sensing platform for inferring user’s daily activities and social contexts. Alternatively, wireless sensor network offers a compre ...

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 ...
Multiple techniques are presented to implement an ultra-low-power remotely powered implantable system. The temperature is monitored locally by a thermistor-type sensor. The resistive response of the sensor is amplified and resolved in the time-domain. The ...
