Published on: May 28, 2021 In modern wireless communications, beamforming is a widely used technique to reduce the interference between multiple links and increase the signal-to-noise ratio. This technique can be interpreted as “pointing” the signal towards a specific device, but this definition is not always obvious and does not explain how it is done. To better understand this concept, ...

Published on: May 21, 2021 Welcome to our latest blog. In this blog, we will discuss channel modeling in the mmWave frequency band. First, we will explain why channel modeling in mmWave is essential, and afterwards, we will describe how to use a Ray Tracer (RT) to model the channel. In the context of channel modeling simulations, we will introduce ...

Published on: April 19, 2021 Welcome to our latest blog. In this blog, we will discuss one of the most promising applications that 5G and other mmWave technologies can offer: user device positioning and localization. Localization is the process of determining the location (position coordinates) of a user device in a given area. In general, localization with radio is done ...

Published on: March 29, 2021 The purpose of the MINTS project is to work on perfecting existing mmWave technologies and go beyond that to look towards the future, exploring new research areas that could be the basis for the next-generation wireless communications. Various groundbreaking technologies have been proposed for 6G, such as the use of Terahertz band, Visible Light Communications ...

Published on: Feb 19, 2021 Welcome to our latest MINTS blog post. This time, we won’t be discussing about mmWave and 5G related topic. However, we would like to test your knowledge about wireless communication through an interactive MINTS Wireless Crossword. Let’s have a 10 minutes break to solve the crossword while enjoying a cup of tea or coffee.   ...
