We consider the problem of estimating sparse communication channels in the MIMO context. In small to medium bandwidth communications, as in the current standards for OFDM and CDMA communication systems (with bandwidth up to 20 MHz), such channels are indiv ...
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 ...
The demand for capacity is growing exponentially with about 40-60% per year passing the installed network capacity. For the last two decades the transmission capacity per fiber has increased by more than three orders of magnitude: Single channel (wavelengt ...
A successful approach for designing a compact reconfigurable antenna system using a single active and two parasitic reactance-loaded dipoles is proposed. The switched parasitic antenna (SPA) operates at 2.6 GHz using PIN diode technology. It is designed to ...
Physical impairments like IQ imbalance and phase noise can cause significant degradation in the performance of wireless communication systems. In this paper, the joint effects of IQ imbalance and phase noise on OFDM systems are analyzed, and a compensation ...
Beam-space multiplexing has been demonstrated as a promising approach for transmitting multiple signals while using a single RF chain. This paper presents a novel beam-space antenna design that is very compact and integrated into a hypothetical portable pl ...
A novel technique for the localization of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) interaction is proposed, analyzed and demonstrated experimentally. The method relies on the phase modulation of two counter-propagating optical waves by a common pseudo-random ...
In this paper, we consider an impulse-based ultrawideband (UWB) receiver and assess the performance of different multiple access and modulation schemes, including time-hopping pulse position modulation (TH-PPM), time-hopping binary phase shift keying (TH-B ...
The memoryless noncoherent single-input-single-output (SISO) Rayleigh-fading channel is considered. Closed-form expressions are derived for the mutual information between the output and the input of this channel when the input magnitude distribution is dis ...
Multiplexing rate and diversity impose a fundamental trade-off in wireless communications. This tradeoff was investigated for Inter-symbol Interference (ISI) channels in [8]. A different point of view was explored in [2], [5], [6] where high rate codes wer ...
