FIELDS OF APPLICATION

Digitalization and Conectivity

MOST OUTSTANDING EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS

  • Channel characterization

    Channel characterization system capable of measure static channels with a 100MHz bandwidth and dynamic channels with a 50MHz bandwidth and a Doppler spectrum up to 600Hz. This system is formed by:
    • Keysight’s Vector Signal Analyser M9018A:
     Working frequency: 1 MHz – 6 GHz
     BW: 160 MHz
    • Generator:
     Working frequency: 250 KHz – 6 GHz
     BW: 100 MHz
    • Processing SW
     100MHz BW static channels
     50MHz BW Dynamic channels and up to 600Hz Doppler effect.
    • Keysight’s Vector Signal Generator E4438C for the range from 250kHz to 6GHz.
    • Proprietary processing SW to obtain TDL (tap-delay line) channel model that can be used in the channel emulator.

  • Channel emulator

    The wireless communication channel emulator was implemented on a Xilinx’s ZCU102 de evaluation board, based on the MPSoC Zynq UltraScale+, which allows a 100% of customization. Channel emulator’s features are:
    • 4 RF bidirectional ports
    • Emulation band from 400MHz to 6GHz (using 100MHz bandwidth signals)
    • Up to 10 taps per channel (using 100MHz bandwidth signals)
    • Low scale multipath
    • Doppler Fading
    • Pathloss and shadowing.

  • Licensed SW and patents

    • Trusty communications for harsh environments algorithm and library based on NETWORK CODING (register SS-475-14).
    • Registers: Time-triggered communications architecture for robust wireless network communications in harsh environments (register SS-137-15).
    • CANOPEN - Node simulator (register VI-33-20)

  • Patents related to wireless communications

    • Patent No.:16382548.2-1862: Communication system and method for simultaneous data transmissions.
    • Patent EP20382008.9: A method for time synchronization between a master and at least one slave.
    • Patent EP18382157.8: Wireless communications system and associated method
