Abstract: An orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA)-based backscatter system is provided, including an analog portion and a digital logic portion. The analog portion includes an antenna, radio frequency switches, an envelope detection circuit, and a transmission line. The digital logic portion includes an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT)-based digital frequency synthesis module. Two outputs of the digital logic portion control all of the radio frequency switches, and the envelope detection circuit provides an input of the digital logic portion. OFDMA backscatter tags designed can operate on any given subchannel without hardware being re-powered and modified, and can operate at a specified symbol rate. The system provides a networking physical layer foundation for a large amount of OFDMA backscatter tags, and satisfies the growing Internet of Things capacity requirements.

Abstract: A base station antenna comprises a reflector assembly and a first radiating element having a first feed stalk and a first radiator. A base of the first feed stalk is adjacent the reflector assembly and the first radiator is adjacent a distal end of the first feed stalk. A center of the first radiator is offset from the base of the first feed stalk in a longitudinal direction that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the base station antenna.

Abstract: Base station antennas include a reflector, a first array of cross-polarized radiating elements that are mounted to extend forwardly from the reflector, and a parasitic assembly. The parasitic assembly includes a base that is mounted on the reflector, a horizontal component shaping element, and a forwardly projecting member that projects forwardly from the base that is coupled between the base and the horizontal component shaping element. The horizontal component shaping element may extend substantially parallel to a plane defined by the reflector and may include a proximate side that is directly connected to the forwardly projecting member and a distal side that is opposite the proximate side. The distal side of is only electrically connected to the reflector through the proximate side.

Abstract: A device location sensing method obtains locations of N devices in a wireless network based on channel state information (CSI). Each device in the wireless network has M antennas arranged in a non-linear manner. To determine the device locations, CSI data mutually detected between every two devices in N devices is obtained and used to calculate an angle difference of arrival (ADoA) set which includes, for every two devices in the N devices relative to each of the other devices in the N devices, an ADoA that is a difference between angles of arrival (AoAs) of the two devices relative to the other device. Relative locations of the N devices are then calculated based on the ADoA set.
