People in charge

This project aims to optimize wireless systems in terms of radio coverage and capacity.

This activity is based on the OSA department known-how regarding the propagation channel and antennas.

These studies are divided in 3 parts closely linked: the development of specific tools dedicated to electromagnetic coverage and digital communication simulations, the study of MIMO systems and the deployment of experimental demonstrators.


Project overview

The aims of this project is to optimize wireless communication systems in terms of radio electric coverage and capacity.These studies are divided in 3 parts closely linked:

 

 - Propagation channel characterization:

  • Development of specific tools dedicated to 3D electromagnetic simulations
  • Experimental radio channel characterization (angles of arrival, power delay profile, ?)
  • Development of simulation tools for multi-antennas (MIMO) wireless transmissions.

- Development of simulation tools for multi-antennas (MIMO) wireless transmissions.

 

- Study of MIMO systems and deployment of experimental demonstrators ( WiMAX Single Carrier , WiMAX OFDM, ...)




Development of 3D EM simulation tools



Digital transmissions simulators

Transmission simulators include propagation channel, antennas in their context (3D measured and simulated antenna patterns, mutual coupling, ...) and digital base band processing

Ex : WIMAX - OFDM - MIMO chain



Experimental platform for digital communication systems and multi-antennas measurements

- Measurements of MIMO systems performances in real environment, associated with signal processing

- Experimental propagation channel characterization (angles of arrival, impulse response, ?)

- Experimental evaluation of wireless communication systems performances (WiMax, WiFi, Zigbee, UMTS, ?) 








Measurement of MIMO performances and channel characterization

Diversity measurement in reverberation chamber


Outdoor to Indoor MIMO measurements


Indoor MIMO measurements
