To meet the demand of continuously growing RF and microwave technologies, scientists and engineers have developed innovative materials consisting of conducting and dielectric materials that overcome limitations in the ...

Multi-antenna wireless communication systems that employ a large number of antennas have recently stirred a lot of research interest. This is mainly due to the possibility of achieving very high spectral efficiency, power ...

This dissertation presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of low-voltage capacitive RF MEMS switches. Although, RF MEMS switches have shown superior performance as compared to the existing solid-state ...

Most of the cellular tra c (voice and data) is generated indoors. Due to attenuation from walls, quality of service (QoS) of di erent applications degrades for indoor tra c. Thus in order to provide QoS for such users the ...

The general theme of this thesis is modeling, performance analysis, and design of wireless networks under standardized CSMA/CA MAC protocols. In particular, we consider two widely used MAC protocols, namely, IEEE 802.15.4, ...

Spatial modulation (SM) is a relatively new and attractive modulation technique for multi-antenna wireless systems. In SM, only one among ns = 2m available transmit antennas, chosen on the basis of m information bits, is ...
