Guendel, R.G. (author), Kruse, N.C. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)In this study, the problem of multipath in radar sensor networks for human activity recognition (HAR) has been examined. Traditionally considered as a source of additional clutter, the multipath is being investigated for its potential to be exploited through the creation of virtual radar nodes. These virtual nodes are conceptualized to...journal article 2024

Locatelli, A. (author), Alvarez-Perez, Jose Luis (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)Multi-path propagation over asphalt road surfaces at automotive radar frequencies is studied. A new expression for the reflection coefficient from asphalt which takes into account asphalt surface roughness is proposed. The classic two-ray method to take into account the multi-path is improved using antenna radiation patterns and the antenna tilt...conference paper 2024

Dun, H. (author)Accurate position solutions are in high demand for many emerging applications. Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), however, may not meet the required positioning performance, especially in urban environments, due to multipath and weak received power of the GNSS signal that can be easily blocked by surrounding objects. To achieve a high...doctoral thesis 2021

Dun, H. (author), Tiberius, C.C.J.M. (author), Diouf, C.E.V. (author), Janssen, G.J.M. (author)This paper presents a methodology to design a sparse multiband ranging signal with a large virtual bandwidth, from which time delay and carrier phase are estimated by a low complexity multivariate maximum likelihood (ML) method. In the estimation model for a multipath channel, not all reflected paths are considered, and time delay and carrier...journal article 2021

Mercuri, Marco (author), Lu, Yiting (author), Polito, Salvatore (author), Wieringa, Fokko (author), van der Veen, A.J. (author), Van Hoof, Chris (author), Torfs, Tom (author)Objective: Over the last two decades, radar-based contactless monitoring of vital signs (heartbeat and respiration rate) has raised increasing interest as an emerging and added value to health care. However, until now, the flaws caused by indoor multipath propagation formed a fundamental hurdle for the adoption of such technology in practical...journal article 2021

Dun, H. (author), Tiberius, C.C.J.M. (author), Janssen, G.J.M. (author)In developing a high accuracy terrestrial radio navigation system, as a complement to a global navigation satellite system (GNSS), it is recognized that the performance of time delay estimation is proportional to, and thereby limited by, the signal bandwidth. Given a possibly narrow signal bandwidth, the central carrier phase can,...journal article 2020

Dun, H. (author), Tiberius, C.C.J.M. (author), Diouf, C.E.V. (author), Janssen, G.J.M. (author)Time-based ranging accuracy is inversely proportional to the signal bandwidth. A larger the signal bandwidth leads to a higher accuracy of time delay estimation, but more complex hardware is needed. Alternatively, we explore the idea of using multiple narrow signal bands (e.g., 10 MHz of each) to create a large virtual signal bandwidth, which...conference paper 2020

Kazaz, T. (author), Coutino, Mario (author), Janssen, G.J.M. (author), van der Veen, A.J. (author)In this paper, we focus on the problem of blind joint calibration of multiband transceivers and time-delay (TD) estimation of multipath channels. We show that this problem can be formulated as a particular case of covariance matching. Although this problem is severely ill-posed, prior information about radio-frequency chain distortions and...conference paper 2020

Jiang, J. (author)This Ph.D. dissertation describes the theory and realization of wide-bandwidth magnetic sensors for current measurements which breach the conventional offset and noise constraints in CMOS processes. These are achieved by several circuit-level and system-level innovations, including the use of three orthogonal ripple reduction loops (RRLs) in...doctoral thesis 2019

Wang, Kan (author), Chen, Pei (author), Zaminpardaz, S. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)In this contribution we analyze the single-frequency L5 positioning capabilities of the two regional satellite navigation systems IRNSS and QZSS, stand alone as well as combined. The positioning analysis is done for two different baselines, having a mix of receivers, providing ambiguity-float and ambiguity-fixed positioning for models with...journal article 2019

Kazaz, T. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author), Janssen, G.J.M. (author), van der Veen, A.J. (author)Achieving high resolution time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation in multipath propagation scenarios from bandlimited observations of communication signals is challenging because the multipath channel impulse response (CIR) is not bandlimited. Modeling the CIR as a sparse sequence of Diracs, TOA estimation becomes a problem of parametric spectral...conference paper 2019

Zaminpardaz, S. (author), Wang, Kan (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)The Japanese Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) has recently (October 2017) reached its first 4-satellite constellation. In this contribution, the standalone performance of this 4-satellite QZSS constellation is assessed by means of its triple-frequency (L1 + L2 + L5) real-time kinematic (RTK) integer ambiguity resolution and precise...journal article 2018

Jiang, J. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This paper proposes a multipath multisensor architecture for CMOS magnetic sensors, which effectively extends their bandwidth without compromising either their offset or resolution. Two designs utilizing the proposed architecture were fabricated in a 0.18-μm standard CMOS process. In the first, the combination of spinning-current Hall sensors...journal article 2017

Ebihara, T. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)Underwater acoustic (UWA) channels are characterized by a severe spread in time and frequency, and are usually labeled as “doubly spread channels.” In this paper, we propose Doppler-resilient orthogonal signal-division multiplexing (D-OSDM), to provide a highly reliable communication environment in doubly spread channels for UWA communication. D...journal article 2015

Sun, R. (author)To increase mission return, utilizing two or more spacecraft instead of one may sometimes be superior. This is especially true when a large spaceborne instrument needs to be created through larger and configurable baselines, such as telescopes and interferometers. However, coordinating the alignment of the individual components of such a...doctoral thesis 2014
