Reverberation-Chamber Test Environment for Outdoor Urban Wireless Propagation Studies

June 21, 2010
Author(s)
Helge Fielitz, Kate Remley, Christopher L. Holloway, Qian Zhang, Qiong Wu, David W. Matolak
We introduce a test environment to replicate the well-known clustering of reflections in power delay profiles from urban wireless propagation environments that exhibit late-time delays and reflections. The test set-up combines discrete reflections

Identifying RF Identification Cards from Measurements of Resonance and Carrier Harmonics

May 27, 2010
Author(s)
Henry Romero, Kate Remley, Dylan Williams, Chih-Ming Wang, Timothy X. Brown
We show that careful measurements of the unloaded resonant frequency and quality factor of radio frequency identification proximity cards allow identification of different card models and, for the set of cards we studied, identification with minimal error

The Impact of Long-term Memory Effects on Diode Power Probes

May 15, 2010
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley, Hugo Gomes, Alejandro Testera, Nuno B. Carvalho, Monica Barciela
This paper presents an analysis of long term memory effects on power measurements using diode power probes. It will be shown that a power probe calibrated with a single-tone sinusoidal excitation can provide erroneous values when used with modulated

Parametric Study on the use of Reverberation Chambers for Repeatable/Controllable Wireless Testing: Application to BER Measurements

April 12, 2010
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, E Genender, Catherine A. Remley, John M. Ladbury, Galen H. Koepke
We illustrate use of the reverberation chamber to simulate different wireless propagation environments including effects such as narrowband or frequency-selective fading and Doppler spread. These effects have a strong impact on the quality of the wireless

ZigBee-Wireless Mesh Networks for Building Automation and Control

April 12, 2010
Author(s)
Wenqi Guo, William M. Healy, Mengchu Zhou
ZigBee is a wireless technology developed as an open global standard to address the unique needs of low-cost low-power wireless sensor networks. This standard takes full advantages of the IEEE 802.15.4 physical radio specification and operates in

How often and how long should a cognitive radio sense the spectrum?

April 7, 2010
Author(s)
Nader Moayeri
This paper presents a Bayesian framework and a pricing structure for a secondary wireless user that opportunistically uses a RF channel belonging to a network of N primary users. The secondary user operates in a time-slotted fashion, where each time slot

Radio Wave Propagation Into Large Building Structures, Part 2: Characterization of Multipath

April 2, 2010
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley, Galen H. Koepke, Christopher L. Holloway, Chriss A. Grosvenor, Dennis G. Camell, John M. Ladbury, Robert T. Johnk, William F. Young
We report on measurements that characterize multipath conditions that affect broadband wireless communications in building penetration scenarios. Measurements carried out in various large structures quantify both radio-signal attenuation and frequency
