Localization is important for a wide range of industries and applications. In underground mining, for instance, it is helpful to know the miners' locations, particularly in emergency situations. One way this can be achieved is by using ultrasonic based localization. This paper presents the design and implementation of a wireless sensor network which can be deployed in underground mines to perform...
Impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) ranging and localization have recently received significant attention due to the high accuracy and precision. This high accuracy can be exploited for many location aware applications in a wide variety of environments. Although most research efforts have focused on location-aware applications for indoor or outdoor environments, there are other environments, such...
Most underwater applications are very sensitive to environmental perturbations like source/receiver motion and surface variations. In real conditions, the transmitted signal reaches the receiver through different paths where each path is affected by different environmental perturbations. Due to the interaction with these environmental variations different Doppler is induced in each path. By observing...
This work presents an integrated ultra high frequency (UHF), broadband direct-conversion receiver. The receiver integrates a single-ended RFVGA, an on-chip single-to-differential balun, a current-mode passive mixer, and a combination of continuous and discrete-time baseband filter with built-in anti-aliasing. Targeted to operate between 470-862 MHz, the receiver achieves a noise figure of 7.9dB, an...
A coherent detection of OFDM signals (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) allows good performances in severely time-dispersive channels. However, coherent receivers require good channel estimates, a difficult task when the channel impulse response is long and/or when space diversity techniques are employed. Usually, the channel estimates are obtained with the help of pilot symbols multiplexed...
