Effective Radar Cross Section in Close-Range Joint Communication and Sensing Applications

July 14, 2025
Author(s)
Steve Blandino, Jelena Senic, Neeraj Varshney, Jihoon Bang, Jack Chuang, Samuel Berweger, Jian Wang, Camillo Gentile, Nada Golmie
Radar Cross Section (RCS) is traditionally mea- sured under far-field conditions where targets are fully illumi- nated by the antenna beam. However, in close-range scenarios, such as those encountered in Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS) systems, the

Quasi-Deterministic Channel Propagation Model for Human Sensing: Gesture Recognition Use Case

July 9, 2025
Author(s)
Jack Chuang, Raied Caromi, Jelena Senic, Samuel Berweger, Neeraj Varshney, Jian Wang, Anuraag Bodi, Camillo Gentile, Nada Golmie
We describe a quasi-determinstic channel propagation model for human gesture recognition reduced from real-time measurements with our context aware channel sounder, considering four human subjects and 20 distinct body motions, for a total of 120,000

Digital-Twin-Assisted Clustering of Radio-Frequency Multipath Components

June 26, 2025
Author(s)
Anuraag Bodi, Jihoon Bang, Neeraj Varshney, Samuel Berweger, Chiehping Lai, Jelena Senic, Jack Chuang, Camillo Gentile
Clustering radio-frequency (RF) multipath components (MPCs) fosters compact channel models by capturing the geometry of the scattering environment, yet "blind" methods based solely on RF data struggle to associate MPCs with individual scatterers. We

Measuring the RCS of Multipoint-Scattering Targets in JCAS Channel Sounding

May 25, 2025
Author(s)
Camillo Gentile, Jack Chuang, Steve Blandino, Jelena Senic, Jihoon Bang, Samuel Berweger
This paper presents a methodology for measuring the radar cross-section (RCS) of a target that scatters power from multiple points on its surface, in the context of joint communication and sensing (JCAS). By leveraging the fine resolution of millimeter

Measurement-Based Prediction of mmWave Channel Parameters Using Deep Learning and Point Cloud

August 2, 2024
Author(s)
Anuraag Bodi, Raied Caromi, Jian Wang, Jelena Senic, Camillo Gentile, Hang Mi, Bo Ai, Ruisi He
Millimeter-wave (MmWave) channel characteristics are quite different from sub-6 GHz frequency bands. The major differences include higher path loss and sparser multipath components (MPCs), resulting in more significant time-varying characteristics in

AI-Based Environment Segmentation Using a Context-Aware Channel Sounder

April 26, 2024
Author(s)
Anuraag Bodi, Samuel Berweger, Raied Caromi, Jihoon Bang, Jelena Senic, Camillo Gentile
We describe how the data acquired from the camera and Lidar systems of our context-aware radio-frequency (RF) channel sounder is used to reconstruct a 3D mesh of the surrounding environment, segmented and classified into discrete objects. First, the images

Context-Aware Channel Sounder for AI-Assisted Radio-Frequency Channel Modeling

April 26, 2024
Author(s)
Camillo Gentile, Jelena Senic, Anuraag Bodi, Samuel Berweger, Raied Caromi, Nada Golmie
We describe a context-aware channel sounder that consists of three separate systems: a radio-frequency system to extract multipaths scattered from the surrounding environment in the 3D geometrical domain, a Lidar system to generate a point cloud of the

Scalable Modeling of Human Blockage at Millimeter-Wave: A Comprehensive Analysis of Knife-Edge Diffraction, the Uniform Theory of Diffraction, and Physical Optics Against 60 GHz Channel Measurements

December 22, 2022
Author(s)
Anmol Bhardwaj, Camillo Gentile, Jelena Senic
Human blockage at millimeter-wave frequencies is most commonly modeled through Knife-Edge Diffraction (KED) from the edges of a vertical strip. Although extensively validated through controlled laboratory experiments, the method does not scale to realistic

Challenges for 5G and Beyond

May 11, 2022
Author(s)
Jelena Senic
In this paper, we discuss some challenges for 5G-and-beyond communications systems based on our measurements conducted with millimeter-wave (mmWave) channel sounders. One study analyzes path loss at 28 GHz vs. 83 GHz and in line-of-sight conditions vs. non

Markov Multi-Beamtracking in SU-MIMO with 60 GHz Mobile Channel Measurements

December 28, 2021
Author(s)
Steve Blandino, Jelena Senic, Camillo Gentile, Derek Caudill
Beamforming training refers to the exhaustive scan over which the receiver and transmitter beams are steered along a predefined set of angles to determine the beam pairs that coincide with the dominant channel paths, for spatial multiplexing. In the

Over-The-Air Calibration of a Dual-Beam Dual-Polarized 28-GHz Phased-Array Channel Sounder

July 9, 2020
Author(s)
Sung Yun Jun, Derek Caudill, Jelena Senic, Camillo Gentile, Jack Chuang, Nada T. Golmie
This paper describes an over-the-air calibration procedure for the impulse response of a 28-GHz phased-array antenna channel sounder. The silicon-germanium (SiGe) antenna board is composed from two 8x8 planar arrays; each array can generate a distinct beam

Penetration Loss at 60 GHz for Indoor-to-Indoor and Outdoor-to-Indoor Mobile Scenarios

July 8, 2020

Sung Yun Jun, Derek Caudill, Jack Chuang, Peter B. Papazian, Anuraag Bodi, Camillo Gentile, Jelena Senic, Nada T. Golmie
This paper investigates the penetration loss of an office building in indoor-to-indoor and outdoor-to-indoor mobile scenarios. The measurements were collected using our 60-GHz double- directional switched-antenna channel sounder. During measurement, the

Blind Calibration of Phase Drift in Millimeter-Wave Channel Sounders

June 11, 2020
Author(s)
Jack Chuang, Jelena Senic, Chunmei Liu, Camillo Gentile, Sung Yun Jun, Derek Caudill
Millimeter-wave channel sounders are much more sensitive to phase drift than their microwave counterparts by virtue of shorter wavelength. This matters when coherently phasing (electronic or mechanical) antenna scans collected over seconds, minutes, or
