The use of radio-frequency signals for passive indoor applications has gained significant interest over the last years. By leveraging ubiquitous Wi-Fi signals, the Doppler information of a target can be retrieved after the analysis of measurements associated with the received signal strength (RSS), the channel state information (CSI), or with passive Wi-Fi radar (PWR) techniques. However, RSS and CSI-based strategies require digital signal processing of high computational cost and/or special modifications to the Wi-Fi access point, while PWR-based approaches rely on a reference channel and interference removal algorithms to provide Doppler information. In this work, a novel microwave architecture for passive sensing applications is proposed. By taking advantage of the reflected RF signals and the direct signals from a non-cooperative transmitter, the proposed architecture can provide the Doppler information of a moving target. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme for the remote detection of small amplitude motion.

Digital radio frequency (RF) systems are becoming increasingly popular with the proliferation of software-defined radios (SDRs). This digitization is overtaking traditional-RF architectures that are often difficult to build and expensive to modify with many designs containing multiple complex-analog components. One way to efficiently implement a SDR is by using a hardware/software (HW/SW) co-design process, which concurrently generates and optimizes the HW and SW in an integrated fashion. This type of SDR realization allows engineers with various backgrounds to rapidly explore and assess different system configurations and algorithms without modifying any analog components. This paper demonstrates a SDR co-design methodology through the use of a wideband RF transceiver module connected to a field-programmable gate array for cost- effective and reconfigurable system prototyping. We demonstrate the power of this capability by creating an in-band full-duplex system that probes wireless channels using both radar and communications waveforms for multi-function applications.

In this paper, we introduce correlation technologies both at RF/mmWave and Base-Band frequencies. At RF and mmWave frequencies power-spectra and energy-spectra metrics are introduced for measuring the power-density of mobile devices and systems. The use of unified power-spectra and energy-spectra metrics leads to innovative Electromagnetic-Thermal sensing solutions for OTA-Testing. At Base-Band frequencies, DSP-based Convolutional-Accelerators are proposed for fast and accurate measurement of EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) using correlation technologies. New ASIC-embedded Smart-Connectors are developed for bringing correlation-based signal processing close to antenna-in-package (AiP) modules. Porting of the DSP-based Convolutional-Accelerators into advanced FD-SOI-ASIC platforms for co-integration with adaptive RF/mmWave FrontEnd-Modules will enable real-time extraction of auto-correlation and cross-correlation functions of stochastic signals for mobile devices and systems. Perspectives toward optically synchronized interferometric-correlation technologies are drawn for accurate measurements of stochastic EM fields in noisy environments.

This paper compares the communication performance for co-located and emerging distributed MIMO in a typical indoor scenario. The simulations, which are verified against experimental measurement data, show that distributed MIMO offers a significantly more uniform capacity for the users. The results also show that the same user capacity can be achieved with half the number of antennas in the distributed MIMO case.

The high attenuation of millimeter-wave (mmWave) would significantly reduce the coverage areas, and hence it is critical to study the propagation characteristics of mmWave in multiple deployment scenarios. In this work, we investigated the propagation and scattering behavior of 60 GHz mmWave signals in outdoor environments at a travel distance of 98 m for an aerial link (rooftop to rooftop), and 147 m for a ground link (light-pole to light-pole). Measurements were carried out using Facebook Terragraph (TG) radios. Results include received power, path loss, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and root mean square (RMS) delay spread for all beamforming directions supported by the antenna array. Strong line-of-sight (LOS) propagation exists in both links. We also observed rich multipath components (MPCs) due to edge scatterings in the aerial link, while only LOS and ground reflection MPCs in the other link.

Radar sensing of respiratory motion from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offers great promise for remote life sensing especially in post-disaster search and rescue applications. One major challenge for this technology is the management of motion artifacts from the moving UAV platform. Prior research has focused on using an adaptive filtering approach which requires installing a secondary radar module for capturing platform motion as a noise reference. This paper investigates the potential of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) technique for the compensation of platform motion artifacts using only primary radar measurements. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed EMD approach can extract the fundamental frequency of the breathing motion from the combined breathing and platform motion using only one radar, with an accuracy above 87%.
