Direction finding for UWB RFID system in dense cluttered environments by Luo, Yanjia

“…Typically, an incident radio wave can be detected by measuring the difference of arrival time or phase between spatially spaced sensors of the antenna array. It becomes challenging due to abundant multipath and obstacles in dense cluttered environments, such as enclosed areas, tunnels or under-ground. …”

Plastic Instability in Co-Cr-Ni-Mo alloy wires drawn with different drawing practices by GVK, Sai Srikanth, Tan, Ming Jen, Liu, Zhenyun

“…The lower instability in the FDD wires at 75% CW, was attributed to the smaller grain size, higher dislocation density and lower twin spacing which contributed to higher γ and m. Plastic strain localization because of shear band formation was noticed in the FDD 95% CW wires, which contributed to lowered ductility and increased instability in the wire due to reduced γ and m. …”

Visible light communication systems supporting wireless data access and indoor positioning applications by Yang, Helin

“…Compared with OFDM-based SCM (OFDM-SCM), FBMC-SCM is capable of mitigating OOBI and therefore requires much smaller guard band (GB) spacing. Simulations and experimental results verify that our proposed FBMC-SCM can improve the effective bandwidth utilization ratio and enhance the positioning accuracy in the integrated VLCP system, compared with OFDM-SCM. …”
