On the project

The project is focused on research into the millimeter wave (MMW), UWB and infra red (IR) signal propagation in small diverse spaces such as a vehicle compartment. The main part of the project will deal with measuring and modeling the channel for the purpose of data transmission in wireless personal area networks (WPANs) working in the infrared band and for object localization using systems operating in the UWB and MMW bands. Since the above-mentioned usage of these technologies is in its beginnings and a number of necessary measurements and investigations have not yet been performed, the most significant results are expected. Another intention of the project is the verification and extension of the existing MMW and UWB channel models derived for WPAN and sensor network technologies. Both the large- and small-scale channel features will be investigated and statistical channel models created. The final part of the project will be focused on comparing partial channel models and determining admissible bounds of the most important parameters for different scenarios and channel state.

Description in Czech
Projekt je zaměřen výzkum šíření milimetrových (MMW), UWB a optických signálů v malých členitých prostorách jako je interiér dopravních prostředků. Hlavní část projektu se bude zabývat měřením a modelováním kanálu pro účely přenosu dat v bezdrátových osobních sítích (WPAN) pracujících v infračerveném a viditelném optickém pásmu a pro účely určování polohy předmětů pomocí systémů pracujících v MMW a UWB pásmu. Protože uvedené využití zmíněných technologií je na svém začátku a řada potřebných měření a výzkumů nebyla dosud provedena, jsou v těchto oblastech očekávány nejvýznamnější výsledky. Další záměr projetu je ověření a rozšíření již existujících MMW a UWB modelů kanálu vytvořených pro technologie WPAN a pro bezdrátové senzorové sítě. Budou zkoumány základní přenosové vlastnosti kanálu, jejich prostorové profily a dále parametry kanálu pro jeho statistický popis. Závěrečná část projektu bude zaměřena na porovnání dílčích modelů a stanovení hraničních limitů nejdůležitějších parametrů pro odlišné konfigurace komunikačního/měřícího systému a stavu kanálu.
