Realization Limits of Impulse-Radio UWB Indoor Localization Systems


Book Description

In this work, the realization limits of an impulse-based Ultra-Wideband (UWB) localization system for indoor applications have been thoroughly investigated and verified by measurements. The analysis spans from the position calculation algorithms, through hardware realization and modeling, up to the localization experiments conducted in realistic scenarios. The main focus was put on identification and characterization of limiting factors as well as developing methods to overcome them.

Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces in Wireless Communication Systems


Book Description

Accompanied with the development of the wireless communication technologies, the high data traffic is more necessary for civil and industrial applications than ever The concept of an intelligent reflective surface (IRS) has attracted considerable attention recently as a low-cost solution. As the main contribution, the dissertation creates new state-of-the-art and formulates a solid milestone for the IRS research field.







RF Modelling and Characterization of Tyre Pressure Sensors and Vehicle Access Systems


Book Description

Core topics of the work are the vehicle access systems such as PAssive Start and Entry (PASE), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) as well as Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Two goals are followed: the development of antennas and functionality analysis from RF (Radio Frequency) point of view and improvement of system parts. The overall objective of this work is to advance the state-of-the-art vehicular electromagnetic simulation taking into account the vehicle body and nearest surroundings.







MIMO OFDM Radar-Communication System with Mutual Interference Cancellation


Book Description

This work describes the OFDM-based MIMO Radar-Communication System, intended for operation in a multiple-user network, especially the automotive sector in the vehicle-to vehicle/infrastructure network. The OFDM signals however are weak towards frequency offsets causing subcarrier misalignment and corrupts the radar estimation and the demodulation of the communication signal. A simple yet effective interference cancellation algorithm is detailed here with real time measurement verification.







Multi-User Gesture Recognition with Radar Technology


Book Description

The aim of this work is the development of a Radar system for consumer applications. It is capable of tracking multiple people in a room and offers a touchless human-machine interface for purposes that range from entertainment to hygiene.




Distributed Transformers for Broadband Monolithic Millimeter-Wave Integrated Power Amplifiers


Book Description

This work presents methods and techniques to optimize and implement distributed magnetic transformers for their application in matching networks of Monolithic Millimeter-wave Integrated Circuits (MMICs). It describes strategies for the efficiency and bandwidth optimization of the transformers and demonstrates their potential based on an optimized transformer geometry as well as two MMIC power amplifiers.
