Joint Antenna-Channel Modelling for in-to-out-Body Propagation of Dairy Cows at 868 MHz

Denys Nikolayev

In this paper, for the first time, the in-to-out-body path loss between a capsule antenna placed inside the cows' rumen and a distant gateway was characterized at 868 MHz. Measurements were conducted on five different fistulated cows in a dairy barn. The i ...

Ultra-Wide Band Diversity Antenna for Omnidirectional Coverage

Anja Skrivervik, Maxime Volery, Tatjana Asenov

In this paper, a 41 x 42.2 mm2 ultra-wide band (UWB) diversity antenna is designed to operate in the frequency band 5.45- 7.45 GHz with the isolation better than 15dB. To achieve omnidirectional coverage pattern diversity is applied. The proposed design is ...

Wideband Omnidirectional Planar Antenna with Vertical Polarization

Juan Ramon Mosig, Lei Wang

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 ...

The Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) Multiplexing Controversy: OAM as a subset of MIMO

Juan Ramon Mosig, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Michele Tamagnone, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva, Santiago Capdevila Cascante

Recently the orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing scheme has been proposed to increase supposedly without limit the channel capacity between a transmitter and a receiver nodes communicating in line of sight. A controversy arose about the far-field e ...

Theoretical assessment of the maximum obtainable power in wireless power transfer constrained by human body exposure limits in a typical room scenario

Valerio De Santis

In this study, the maximum received power obtainable through wireless power transfer (WPT) by a small receiver (Rx) coil from a relatively large transmitter (Tx) coil is numerically estimated in the frequency range from 100 kHz to 10 MHz based on human bod ...

Successive Refinement of Diversity for Fading ISI MISO Channels

Suhas Diggavi, Sanket Dusad

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 ...
