Investigation of Multi-Axis Beam Steering using Diffraction Grating
Optical beam-steering is becoming a key optical functionality in free space optical links used for communication and sensing. For example, in recent times, compact, wide-angle, fast, multi-axis beam steering is used ... -
On Linear Codes in Projective Spaces
The projective space $\mathbb{P}_q(n)$ of order $n$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is defined as the collection of all subspaces of the ambient space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$. The Grassmannian $\mathcal{G}_q(n, k)$ is the set ... -
Load Modulated Arrays for Multi-antenna Wireless Communications
Conventional multi-antenna transmitters use a separate RF chain (consisting of DACs, mixers, filters) and a power amplifier (PA) for each antenna element, and use modulation alphabets such as QAM/PSK for transmission. The ... -
Reduced Feedback Schemes in 4g/5g Ofdm Systems: Modeling, Performance Analysis and Redesign
Reduced feedback schemes are a crucial component of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-based 4G and 5G cellular systems that use downlink scheduling, adaptive modulation and coding, and multiple-input-multiple-output ... -
Designing Solutions to Some of the Issues in Ubiquitous Networks
