With the next generation of telecommunications and radar/navigation upon us, moving from the microwave to the higher bandwidth, millimeter-wave domain has become ever relevant. Simultaneously, the burgeoning field of photonic integrated chips has yielded a

Time transfer performance of Broadcast Positioning System (BPS)

January 28, 2025
Author(s)
Tariq Mondal, Jeffrey Sherman, David Howe
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the most prevalent Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) that provides Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT). GNSS vulnerability is well-known, and the search continues to find another independent system that can

Algorithm-Supervised Millimeter Wave Indoor Localization using Tiny Neural Networks

January 17, 2025
Author(s)
Anish Shastri, Steve Blandino, Camillo Gentile, Chiehping Lai, Paolo Casari
The quasi-optical propagation of mmw signals has been instrumental in designing high-accuracy localization algorithms. These algorithms either exploit the geometric properties of the mmw signals or are based on an environment's radio footprints, leading to

WLAN Protocols Identification Using Machine Learning and Ensemble Models

January 7, 2025
Author(s)
Akimun Jannat Alvina, Yao Ma, Mark Golkowski
The growing demand for wireless communications has caused significant spectrum congestion, requiring multiple WLAN protocols to share limited spectrum resources. To address this, further research is necessary to optimize spectrum sharing and improve
