This paper presents effect of delay waves on MIMO over-the-air (OTA) throughput of a handset MIMO array using a spatial fading emulator. The emulator has a number of antenna probes located on a circle around a handset under test to representing a multipath radio environment applicable to the OTA evaluation for a handset MIMO antenna. The MIMO OTA tests with and without delay waves, which have a...

This paper proposes and evaluates a WSN based system for target tracking in small areas. The system can be applied in surveillance, rural or industry monitoring, where a particular zone, for instance, surroundings of an entrance should be controlled. The system is able to store the target movement patterns and it allows for their identification using video sensors connected to strategically dep...
