Mid-Infrared optical absorber based on anisotropic black phosphorus and magnesium fluoride by Abdulkawi, Wazie M., Aladadi, Yosef T., Al-Moliki, Yahya Mohammed, Alresheedi, Mohammed Thamer, Mahdi, Mohd Adzir, Abas, Ahmad Fauzi, Ng, Eng Khoon

“…BP has a sufficiently large electronic bandgap, and its high carrier mobility allows for efficient free-carrier absorption in the mid-infrared regimes. Magnesium fluoride is an ideal candidate for the mid-infrared absorber, providing optical transparency, efficient absorption, and antireflection properties due to its low refractive index. …”

Impact of cellular interference on uplink UAV communications by Tan, Ernest Zheng Hui, Madhukumar, A. S., Sirigina, Rajendra Prasad, Krishna, Anoop Kumar

“…We demonstrate that the operational altitude of the multi-UAV network determines the severity of cellular interference across low-to-high transmit power regimes. In particular, UAVs operating at higher altitudes are less affected by cellular interference, with higher finite SNR diversity gains and lower outage probability floors observed. …”
