Wideband Omnidirectional Planar Antenna with Vertical Polarization

In this paper we propose a circular leaky wave-antenna with omnidirectional radiation in the H-plane. The design utilizes double-layered strips to create an end-fire antenna. A linear tapering of the stripes in the design endows the antenna with a 27% impe ...

Modulated scattering technique in the terahertz domain enabled by current actuated vanadium dioxide switches

Juan Ramon Mosig, Anja Skrivervik, Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Michele Tamagnone, Wolfgang Amadeus Vitale, Santiago Capdevila Cascante

The modulated scattering technique is based on the use of reconfigurable electromagnetic scatterers, structures able to scatter and modulate an impinging electromagnetic field in function of a control signal. The modulated scattering technique is used in a ...

Multi-test Detection and Protection Algorithm Against Spoofing Attacks on GNSS Receivers

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Aleksandar Jovanovic

The vulnerability against interference, spoofing, and jamming of GNSS receivers is considered nowadays a major security concern. This security threat is exacerbated with the existing market availability of GPS jamming and spoofing equipment sold at reasona ...

An overview of W-BAN antennas designed at LEMA

Anja Skrivervik

W-BAN applications have been around since a long time, but have been experiencing a tremendous growth during the last decades. This results in the need of dedicated antennas, which are designed and optimized taking into account their lossy surroundings. De ...

Glass transition associated with the jamming of vibrated granular matter

Daniele Mari, Gérard Gremaud, Alessandro Luigi Sellerio

We investigate a vibrated granular system composed of millimeter-size glass beads. When the system is submitted to a perturbation with decreasing intensity, below the fluidization limit, it evolves in a way similar to glass-forming liquids until it reaches ...

The Cicada Attack: Degradation and Denial of Service in IR Ranging

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski, Manuel Flury

We demonstrate that an interferer with malicious intentions can significantly degrade the performance of impulse radio (IR) ranging. The cicada attack we have developed can decrease the distance (degradation of service) measured by ranging algorithms desig ...

Design of high data rate, passive, far-field RFID tags in CMOS technology

Nicolas Pillin

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an exciting, rapidly growing, multi-disciplinary field with emerging technologies and applications. Today RFID is a generic term for technologies that use radio frequencies to automatically identify people or object ...

Wormhole-Based Anti-Jamming Techniques in Sensor Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mario Cagalj, Srdan Capkun

Due to their very nature, wireless sensor networks are probably the category of wireless networks most vulnerable to “radio channel jamming”-based Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. An adversary can easily mask the events that the sensor network should detec ...

Of Malicious Motes and Suspicious Sensors: On the Efficiency of Malicious Interference in Wireless Networks

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert

How efficiently can a malicious device disrupt a single-hop wireless network? Imagine two honest players attempting to exchange information in the presence of a malicious adversary that can disrupt communication by jamming or overwriting messages. Assume t ...

Of Malicious Motes and Suspicious Sensors

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert

How efficiently can a malicious device disrupt communication in a wireless network? Imagine a basic game involving two honest players, Alice and Bob, who want to exchange information, and an adversary, Collin, who can disrupt communication using a limited ...

Thwarting selfish and malicious behavior in wireless networks

Mario Cagalj

Security is at the core of any communication system and, in particular, of wireless (radio) networks. In this thesis, we focus on three important security aspects in the framework of wireless networks: selfish (noncooperative) behavior at the Medium Access ...
