Error Control Coding for B3G/4G Wireless Systems

The book begins by detailing the fundamentals of advanced coding techniques such as Coding, Decoding, Design, and Optimization.

An error free passive UHF RFID system using a new form of wireless signal distribution

A wide area and error free ultra high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) interrogation system based on the use of multiple antennas used in cooperation to provide high quality ubiquitous coverage, is presented. The system uses an intelligent distributed antenna system (DAS) whereby two or more spatially separated transmit and receive antenna pairs are used to allow greatly improved multiple tag identification performance over wide areas. The system is shown to increase the read accuracy of 115 passive UHF RFID tags to 100% from <60% over a 10m × 8m open plan office area. The returned signal strength of the tag backscatter signals is also increased by an average of 10dB and 17dB over an area of 10m 8m and 10m × 4m respectively. Furthermore, it is shown that the DAS RFID system has improved immunity to tag orientation. Finally, the new system is also shown to increase the tag read speed/rate of a population of tags compared with a conventional RFID system. © 2012 IEEE.

Free space communications with beam steering a two-electrode tapered laser diode using liquid-crystal slm

A free space optical wireless communication system with 3 degree angular coverage and 1.25 GHz modulation bandwidth is reported, in which relatively narrow laser beam of a simultaneous high power, high modulation speed and ultra high modulation efficiency directly modulated two-electrode tapered laser diode is steered using a nematic phase-only Liquid-Crystal On Silicon Spatial Light Modulator (LCOS SLM) by displaying reconfigurable 256 phase level gratings. © 1983-2012 IEEE.

Thin film coil design considerations for wireless power transfer in flat panel display

Wireless power transfer is experimentally demonstrated by transmission between an AC power transmitter and receiver, both realised using thin film technology. The transmitter and receiver thin film coils are chosen to be identical in order to promote resonant coupling. Planar spiral coils are used because of the ease of fabrication and to reduce the metal layer thickness. The energy transfer efficiency as a function of transfer distance is analysed along with a comparison between the theoretical and the experimental results. © 2012 Materials Research Society.

Wideband wireless over fiber systems

Broadband radio over fiber systems, which can simultaneously distribute multiple wireless services and enable remote sensing, are reviewed. The systems are used to demonstrate improved remote passive RFID tag detection through the use of multiple antennas. © 2009 Optical Society of America.

Holographic wavefront sensing and correction for free space optical communications

Using holographic techniques and a tapered laser, an optical wireless communication system with 4.6 degree angular coverage, 1.25GHz modulation bandwidth and the capability of sensing and correcting aberrations within system and from atmosphere is reported. © OSA 2013.
