Various wireless applications are currently under development for the unlicensed 60 GHz band. This paper describes three examples with different system requirements. The first two are point-to-multipoint wireless networks (in an airplane and in a car) and the third one is a short range point-to-point connection. Special requirements of the applications are a high number of users for the point-to-multipoint connection and a high data rate of 10 Gbit/s for the point-to-point connection system. Implementation aspects are pointed out, which are important to demonstrate the functionality of the system in a relevant environment and are key aspects to develop the related products. For example, integration aspects of the antenna into an airplane passenger seat and the receiver concept of the radio frequency-(RF) front-end to reducing the power consumption at ultrahigh data rates are described. Additionally, to determine the geometrical system architecture, ray-tracing simulations inside an aircraft and inside a car were performed.

This paper presents a low loss fully embedded bandpass filter (BPF) using low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) for multilayer System-in-Package (SiP) and Multi-Chip-Module (MCM) applications, e.g. wireless applications for the unlicensed 60 GHz band. The measured insertion loss was 1.5 dB at the center frequency 58 GHz, and a return loss of less than −10 dB was achieved, including two grounded coplanar waveguide transmission line (CPWg) to stripline transitions. The four layers BPF has a 3 dB bandwidth of about 11 GHz which supplies e.g. broadband and high data rate applications. The whole BPF requires a substrate area of 5.6 × 2.1 × 0.42 mm3 with transitions and a shielding via fence. This BPF suits well for V-band applications in a LTCC package because of the compact dimensions and the good performance.

AbstractWith advancement in communication systems and ever increasing demand of bandwidth, research has been oriented towards 5G networks. For achieving high data rates, mm waves are employed using radio over fiber (RoF) technique. This work focus on employing mm waves in free space optics. Two independent channels are employed with each having 5 Gbps data rate and 60 GHz of radio signal. Output signal received is observed by analyzing using BER and eye diagrams.

The design of 5th generation (5G) wireless systems requires the description and modeling of the radio channel where communication will take place. As 5G will employ massive multiple input–multiple output (MIMO) to cope with the high data rates, the channel models should include the description of radiowave angular power distribution (APD) around the terminals. In this paper, we present the results of a measurement campaign of these APDs in four different environments and provide their main parameters. This will facilitate the incorporation of these results into current 5G channel models. We also analyze the maximum received power improvement that could be achieved by combining the power reaching the terminal from different angles and provide the improvement values for the four scenarios. The research was conducted at 60 GHz, one of the frequency bands proposed for 5G systems.

Background: Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) systems using Orthogonal Space-Time Block Coding (OSTBC) gained extensive popularity in wireless applications owing to the potential of providing improved reliability. Methods: The performance of MIMO - OSTBC systems using error-correcting code (Convolutional, Reed Solomon and Interleaving) schemes used to encode data streams in wireless communications using the Rayleigh channel is reported here. These are subjected to experimentation under modulation schemes such as Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK). Decoding occurs using the Maximum Likelihood (ML) algorithm, which provides high data rates using spatial domains under the limits of power transmission and limited bandwidths. Results: Different simulations are performed to detect the best BER performance for various antenna configurations and values of antenna configurations with Error Correction so as to use the best outcomes to model the OSTBC. Conclusion: Their effect of improving the overall can be noticed by the advantages of OSTBC with the correcting codes and the maximum number of configurations.

With the widespread effective usage of LEDs the visible light communication (VLC) system has brought out an increasing interest in the field of wireless communication recently. VLC is envisioned to be an appealing substitute to RF systems because of the advantages of LEDs such as high communication security, rich spectrum, etc. For achieving bearable inter symbol interference (ISI) and high data rates, OFDM can be employed in VLC. In this paper, the performance of VLC system with popular unipolar versions of OFDM viz. Flip-OFDM and ACO-OFDM is analyzed in fading channels. From the simulation results it is seen that the Flip-OFDM-VLC system outperforms the ACO-OFDM-VLC system in terms of bit error rate and is well suited for future 5G applications.

The electromagnetic (EM) imaging technique at mm-band 60 GHz is proposed for data encoding purpose in the chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. The fully printable chipless RFID tag comprises tiny conductive EM polarizers to create high cross-polar radar cross-section. Synthetic aperture radar approach is applied for formation of the tag's EM-image and revealing the tag's content. The achieved high data encoding capacity of 2 bits/cm2in this technique based on a fully printable tag is very convincing for many applications. The system immunity to multipath interference, bending effect, and printing inaccuracy suggests huge potentials for low-cost item tagging. Tags are also readable through a tick paper envelop; hence secure identification is provided by the proposed technique.

There are many scenarios where high resolution, wide field of view video is useful. Such panorama video may be generated using camera arrays where the feeds from multiple cameras pointing at different parts of the captured area are stitched together. However, processing the different steps of a panorama video pipeline in real-time is challenging due to the high data rates and the stringent timeliness requirements. In our research, we use panorama video in a sport analysis system called Bagadus. This system is deployed at Alfheim stadium in Tromsø, and due to live usage, the video events must be generated in real-time. In this paper, we describe our real-time panorama system built using a low-cost CCD HD video camera array. We describe how we have implemented different components and evaluated alternatives. The performance results from experiments ran on commodity hardware with and without co-processors like graphics processing units (GPUs) show that the entire pipeline is able to run in real-time.
